Dr Wolfgang Schraut saved my life 24 years ago. I had stage 3 colorectal cancel and the Dr in Johnstown that I was to have my surgery with told me that he would only give me a 30% chance that he would get all of my cancer and I would have a colostomy bag the rest of my life. I asked for a 2nd opinion and went to Pittsburgh and had Dr Schraut as my surgeon and he told me he would get all of my cancer out and I would not need a colostomy bag and he was true to his word. 24 years later ( knock on wood) I haven’t had any reoccurrence of my cancer and did not have a colostomy bag. Thank you Dr Schraut for being my Angel and saving my life!!!
