Review for Dr. Pamfilie

This doctor called my 83-year-old father and told him it was time for his colonoscopy. Although my father was on dialysis and already had cancer they performed the colonoscopy my father came home and fell down the stairs and passed away 11 days later. I would never recommend a doctor that's more...
