Jun 24, 2023
A well educated intelligent skilled surgen who took time and explained everything with a positive and truthful approach. After a MRI by an Orthopedic for a suspected pinched nerve showed a tumor pushing on the spine at the base of the neck they scheduled a biopsy and follow up appointment which would have taken weeks. We sought a second opinion from Dr Koga who after looking at the MRI his opinion was the tumor had to come out to relieve the excruciating pain, so don’t waste time. Do the biopsy after the surgery. Fortunately we agreed and after a successful surgery to relieve the pain caused by the tumor the biopsy showed rapidly growing metastatic small cell lung cancer. He found us an oncologist and helped us get into a clinical trial quickly. His knowledge, skill, positive outlook, and quick action has provided a better CHANCE for a positive outcome against this deadly cancer.
