PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Dr. Platzer found a rare sarcoma cancerous tumor when other doctors for the past 20 years just dismissed it as “Scar tissue”. If this had gone a couple more years it would have reached my muscle and bones. He’s awesome.” – Able H.

“Dr. Platzer is the real thing. The first time I saw him I had a blood blister on my lower lip that NO-ONE would touch because of bleeding. He asked me if I want it gone and after 100 no’s by other doctors I said yes. He did it in a few minutes and it’s been gone now for 8 years. Now I have been notified that I have some sort of cancer on my head and I will let no one get near me except Dr. Platzer.” – Les G.
