Dr. Vergilio is a recipient of the Patients’ Choice Award with a medical philosophy inspired by an experience with a patient early in his career: “One of my first patients was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but was able to live a year beyond her goal, and celebrate not one, but two, Christmas holidays. Her courage and resiliency touched and inspired me and has stayed with me throughout the years.”
