Dr.Stephen Broderick is an outstanding provider. His concern towards my medical issue was sincere and genuine. Dr. Broderick explained my medical issue in detail and executed a health care roadmap to treat. From my initial diagnosis to my surgery Dr. Broderick was available to consult and guide me through my journey. The office team was also first class and competent, this I believe is a result of the leadership in Dr. Broderick.

I had cancer in my right lung, and was extremely lucky to have Dr. Broderick as my surgeon in removing the malignancy. The treatment was a complete success, and this visit was my second follow-up X-ray, from which the doctor pronounced I am cancer-free. I and my family greatly admire and respect Dr. Broderick for his competency, efficiency, thoroughness, and caring. He is my hero. I am very grateful to him.
