“Dr. Detterbeck is not only a good doctor, he is unique in his position because of the way he treats his patients. I recently got a Thymoma removed from my chest. Dr. Detterbeck came into my room and stood there with me for at least 20 minutes and told me I would be ok. Until that moment I was not sure. I was in terrible pain and my lung was leaking air, but I knew I was in the best hands. Anyone that has problem should have Frank as his surgeon.”
