Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Patient and Calm
I first saw Dr. Boffa for esophageal cancer more that six years ago. He has always explained details with patience, calm, and good humor. He is very caring as well as being a skilled surgeon, and this sets him apart as one of the best.

Great doctor
Dr Boffa was honest about the difficult surgery . I do think he could have discussed post surgical aspects more and what to expect afterwards. He has a wonderful team that works together very well. I recovered fairly quickly and am more optimistic about my future

Esophageal surgery
About three years ago I was diagnosed with cancer in my lower esophagus and stomach. Dr Baffa said my best option was to have an esophagectomy surgery ( cutting out part of stomach and esophagus to include the stomach valve) to be done after initial radiation and chemo therapy. He told me surgery was my only option and that I would be back to normal after six months. After the surgery he told me that all biopsies came back negative, meaning that the chemo and radiation had killed all cancer and surgery was probably unnecessary.
