I am alive today thanks to the outstanding care and expertise of Dr Smaldone. A Stage 4 cancer prognosis is life threatening but thanks to the strategic approach of Dr Smaldone, not only am I alive but I am living a normal life. I highly recommend Dr Smaldone and Fox Chase to anyone with cancer. You won’t find better care anywhere else,

Every facet of my surgical experience was stellar (except the fact that it was needed). From Dr. Smaldone to Kelly (nurse) to Cindi (med. asst.). I was scheduled elsewhere, but during appt. I knew immediately, he was the surgeon for me. Explains A to Z, so no surprises. Then, follow ups with Dr. and staff punctual and precise. Also, accessibility to all, either by phone or text, response was within minutes

I was first introduced to Dr. Marc Smaldone, a urologic oncologist, after being referred to him by Dr. Sanjay Reddy, another excellent surgeon at Fox Chase. Dr.Reddy encouraged me to seek a second opinion at Fox Chase.
Upon meeting Dr. Smaldone, I found him to be very knowledgeable about my recent diagnosis of urethral cancer. He immediately took the time to explain to me the reasons why I would need need to have a full hysterectomy and bladder removal. All my options were clearly discussed. I can still remember him taking the time to call me on a Sunday afternoon to further discuss my questions.
He assured me the planned surgery would be my best option to beat this disease.
My surgery took place on November 1, 2018. After giving me his personal cell phone number, he informed me I could call him any time day or night.
When I felt the need to text or call, he immediately responded and assured me I was not disturbing him.
Dr. Marc Smaldone is definitely the surgeon you want to see if you are diagnosed with a urologic cancer. He is a most caring, compassionate, and skilled surgeon. I am so fortunate to have him on my team of doctors at Fox Chase as I move forward post operatively. Dr. Marc Smaldone is definitely a five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ surgeon!

I had surgery for bladder and prostate removal on 10-29-14, a result of recurrent bladder cancer. The surgery was successful and no chemo was necessary. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Marc Smaldone. No one has a better bedside manner and availability. When was the last time you had a Dr. give you his personal cell phone number? And not only does he respond…He always answers it himself. His surgical work and follow-up was exemplary. I hope he never changes his approach to keeping patients and their family updated with the current situation and ongoing care.

I was diagnosed with a Left Adrenal Mass. Not feeling comfortable with direction my local doctor wanted to take I started researching on the web. Fox Chase kept coming up, and had most informative web site for my particular diagnosis. Seeking a second opinion I called, and they set up an appointment. Could not believe how quickly they had got me in to see Dr. Marc Smaldone. I was very impressed in Dr. Smaldone's confidence and how informative he was. So I scheduled surgery to have Mass removed. I cannot say enough about my experience, Marc Smaldone's bedside manor is second to none. He handled my Wife's concerns with great care, and kept her posted continuously while I was in surgery. I was home in a matter of a couple days, and recovered very quickly. The nursing staff at Fox Chase was also very responsive to my needs, they made my stay very comfortable. If I would need any procedures of this nature in the future, without doubt I would call Marc Smaldone

My 20 year old son was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer. I called Fox Chase Cancer Center to make an appointment with Dr. Smaldone. I was treated with professionalism and care. We were very upset and everyone who I spoke to was empathetic and understanding. I was given an appointment for my son within 24 hours of calling and that helped very much due to our concerns. We met Dr. Smaldone and I my son was immediately comfortable with him. He is pleasant, knowledgeable, understanding and easy to talk to. He answered every question and never made my son feel rushed. He performed my son's surgery and we were very comfortable leaving him in Dr. Smaldone's hands. He did everything possible to make the surgery smooth and his concern for my son was genuine which is greatly appreciated. During our follow up visits he is pleasant, informative, easy going and a pleasure to have as a physician. Our daughter is now a patient of his for Urologic problems and I would recommend Dr. Smaldone to anyone. I teach in the field and worked in the field for years so I am aware of how rare it is to find such a doctor. I am glad Dr. Smaldone is there to get us through this. He is invaluable. Thank you!!
