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.

Dr. De La Fuente is very caring.
Dr. De La Fuente has a very straight forward approach to your care. He goes after your cancer with a vengeance. His care and attention towards every little aspect of you recovery is amazing.

Dr. De La Fuente is a very compassionate and a skilled surgeon. He was a gift to my family! My dad was diagnosed with ampullary adenocarcinoma and had him scheduled within 2 weeks of dx for surgery. My dad had a whipple done and was home within 5 days of surgery. Healed beautifully. I can not say enough good things about Dr. de la Fuentes and his team! Residents and PA’s are also amazing. My dad was back to work in 12 weeks. And he feels amazing.

I had trouble with the person who handled appointments. She was so bad I was ready to give up but my PCP told me he would arrange the appointment.

Dr. De La Fuente is an excellent doctor but also treated me with great compassion, dignity and respect. He spent as much time as I needed to explain my options and the pros and cons of each procedure option. I have chromic pancreas issues which have damaged my stomach so my situation is complicated but I am comfortable that he is more than capable to treat me. He has performed several surgical procedures on me over the past year and I am very pleased with the care he has provided me. I am a recent widow so going through this illnesses was difficult but Dr. De La Fuente made me feel that I wasn't alone and that he and his staff wanted nothing but the very best for me. I know that Dr. De La Fuente truly cares about this patients and their well-being.

“Dr. Sebastian De La Fuente and his team welcomed me to the Center and made me feel at ease on my first visit and on each subsequent visit. Customer service was outstanding! He was very proactive and responsive when given my case, he wasted no time expediting it, and in making sure, it was accessible to get to him. He is very caring, treats you with compassion, respect, and sensitivity, he is thorough, and has great bedside manners; he is a gentleman, down to earth, and professional. Apart of a rare breed of physicians and surgeons. I could not be more pleased with the treatment that I received from him and his team. He is such a humble human being. I highly recommend him.”

I met Dr De La Fuente December of last year after being diagnosed with bile duct cancer, my surgery was 1/4/2019. I had previously never met such a caring & compassionate Dr. & the same is said for all of his staff. He has been consistently attentive & professional with every visit & I highly recommend him for those that are in need.

Dr. De La Fuente is annointed! Glory to God!! He has the hands of healing. He is a compassionate and patient person. He's definitely GOD sent. Dr. De La Fuente operated on my mother this week and it was told to my mother by others at the hospital that he went inside my mother's stomach, removed the CANCER as if he's passed through her stomach before. No hesitation at all. Thank You from the bottom of all our hearts. Dr , wish you were around for my brother who passed from Pancreatic Cancer
