I can’t say enough about Dr. DelPizzo he goes above and beyond for his patience! Wouldn’t feel comfortable with anyone else that’s why he is the best!!
After significant research and due diligence in selecting a surgeon, I came under the care of Dr. Hu for a partial nephrectomy aimed at removing a suspected early stage renal cell carcinoma from my left kidney. At every significant juncture of the process, beginning with our first consultation through to my post-operative recovery, Dr. Hu exhibited a comforting balance of empathetically driven attentiveness to the particularities of my case and a perceptively laser-focused expertise as concerned the knowledge, skills and experiences that would be depended upon to successfully execute my procedure. Going on four years from the time of my surgery, I am grateful to have no signs of recurrence, healthy kidney function, and to be enjoying a happy life. I am confident that this auspicious outcome is most proximally attributable to Dr. Hu’s mastery of the state of the art medical science and technology applicable to my diagnosis wielded and vitalized by Dr. Hu’s personal intelligence, commitment, talent and virtuosity. I submit this review with great gratitude, a sincere wish for your future health and wellbeing, and an unqualified endorsement of Dr. Hu as your physician.
I was very nervous at my first meeting with Dr Hu subsequent to my diagnosis of prostate cancer. My biggest fear was of urinary incontinence subsequent to treatment. Dr. Hu was very patient, he explained the cancer and the tests (including PSMA and Decipher genomic) needed for staging and surgery. Importantly (to me) he pointed out that if my initial treatment was surgery I would have radiation to fall back on should the cancer recur. He did the biopsy himself at the Lefrak Center, it was relatively painless and Dr Hu explained the results to me. Dr Hu was available via email text prior to surgery and even answered one of them on a Sunday. The surgery went well and Dr Hu went over the results (eg, margins) with me in the hospital and again at follow up visits in his office. I'm now 3 years out from my surgery (age 71) and at my pre-surgical baseline with total urinary control. I'm very glad that I went with surgery as opposed to radiation. Dr Hu is a world class surgeon!
