Patient Reviews

"I would like to thank Dr Vivek for her immediate attention to my cancer treatment.I was given an appointment to consult with her the very next day. She referred me to Dr. Shaikh as soon as possible. I am now on anti cancer medication. There was little waiting time after check in. The RNs who took vital signs and blood tests were also helpful.
NY Cancer Specialists are a plus for Staten Island since we would be sent to cancer center in NYC 2 hours away sometimes becoming ill on the bus or ferry. They make a cancer patients life easier to cope with."

"The follow up visit was pleasant. Staff is friendly and helpful. A very nice facility. I just felt the interaction I had with Dr Vivekanandarajah may have been rushed possibly because she had other patients waiting. Although overall the doctor explained the test results assuring me that everything was good and my blood work was stable."
