About Dr. Feczko:

“I chose to work in thoracic surgery because I enjoy the technical aspects of the surgery and the variety of procedures and pathologies I have the opportunity to treat. The most rewarding aspect of my field, however, is the chance to connect with patients and provide education about the ways in which surgery can help treat and potentially cure some of the worst cancers and most life-altering problems.”
