Dr Pfanzelter continues to be among the best Dr's on my team, probably the best. I have full confidence in his knowledge and experience. He looks out for me more than the dr in urology who is supposed to be responsible for my post kidney cancer care. Dr Pfanzelter is amazingly quick in responding to portal messages, and commenting on test results. Writes thorough notes after a visit. In person listens well, and gives concise and complete answers. He is the best!
