Dr. Athena C Pefkarou, MD

It has been 7 years since my son died under her care. Why I waited this long? It’s because when you lose a child to cancer it’s very difficult to process. Sadly this doctor wasn’t kind. After my son died she and her colleagues at what was then known as Miami Children’s Hospital failed to even address his death. Back then (and now) I learned that children are only treated as statistics and once they die since they’re no longer of any financial use to these people they simply turn the other cheek. Do yourself and your family a favor and stay away from any Florida based oncologists. Especially this one.

We were blessed to have Dr. Pefkarou treat our son. She was accurrate, very detailed & thorough. She takes every patient on as if they were her own kid/grandkid. She has always been available, any time of the day or night. We trusted Dr. Pefkarou with our son and she along with her staff are very effective.
