Dr. Drebin and his P.A. are excellent in every respect. My 83 year old mother underwent Whipple surgery performed by Dr. Drebin for a pancreatic cyst, which thankfully turned out to be pre-cancerous. From the 1st visit to our last post-op visit, Dr. Drebin was informative, understanding extremely responsive to our questions, needs and anxiety. He inspired confidence and courage. In addition to being a highly skilled surgeon, he has wonderful bedside manner. A real gift to his patients.

Dr Drebin completed a Whipple Procedure in May 2007 in a first class manner from diagnoses through recovery through follow up visits. He communicated well at every step of the procedure and was totally forthcoming regarding his prior experience and his rate of success. His expectation of recovery time was a bit ambitious in my case but all turned out well. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him to anyone in need of this extremely difficult surgery. I remain under his care, now on an annual visit basis.
