    How was your appointment with Dr. Sommers?

    Mar 18, 2023
    I was referred to Dr. Sommers by my Oncologist for a suspicious area in one lung. He operated on my robotically and the whole process could not have been smoother. I was out of the hospital 3 days after the surgery with virtually no lingering effects. He is a consummate surgeon and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone requiring lung surgery.
