It started out to be a rough experience, but turned out to be a good experience thank everybody for what they did for me

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Serrano was excellent, he spent time with me answering questions, discussing the options, risks, and benefits as well as the procedure. He was outstanding. He showed me my scans and explained them very well. I feel confident with him doing the surgery and would definitely recommend him to others.

In 2020, at the peak of Covid-19, my beloved “client”, thought she was actually more like family, had developed pancreatic cancer and was stage four by the time it was discovered. By some miracle, she ended up in the hands of Dr. Serrano. From beginning to end, he was the perfect person I wanted holding her hand through her most terrifying moments. Confident, CARING, and capable… he performed a seamless Whipple and gave Betty a new lease on life! Dr. Serrano is more than a great surgeon. He truly cares.

Dr Serrano explained and even drew a diagram of my pancreas and how he would remove the cancerous portion. He listened to our concerns and was very informative.
