I saw Dr. Pagnozzi thinking I had a belly ache, he convinced me to have a colonoscopy. Turned out I had colon cancer. He saved me.

Dr. Pagnozzi fit me into his busy schedule to ensure my insurance would cover before new year. I had a laproscopic surgery 20 years ago for tibial ligation- extremely painful. This gall bladder removal via laproscopic surgery was the best surgical intervention I have ever had. There is a reason why he is the best surgeon award winner multiple years in a row!!! Highly recommended.
