    Went to get a biopsy to see if I have cancer from a lump in my neck, waited a month over when I was supposed to get the results. They came back with “clear bill of health” Now my lump in my neck is even bigger than it was continuing to grow & I have no idea still what it is. I never got an explanation of what it was. So now I need to find someone else to help me

    It was my first visit to see Dr. Gaffga and I felt he was very polite and concerned about my health situation. I hope we get my problem fixed in a reasonable amount of time or at least managed.

    Jakob has been with Dr. Sterrett for 20 years so I wasn't sure how he would adjust to the new doctor. I definitely wasn't sure how I felt with surgery being scheduled right away. Now we have 2 surgeries in the book and I can honestly say Dr. Sterrett left us in good hands. Dr. Gaffga has been amazing at accommodating Jakob's needs.
