"Absolutely awesome experience. My first time visiting the oncology department, though passing by it on a regular basis in route to bring primary Care appointments. I didn't have an appointment but the receptionist Jackie was able to squeeze me in for which I am extremely grateful. Dr Vivek was hands on and was able to put my anxieties at ease, by actively listening to my concerns, and addressing them. Blood work was done on site and Bianca, the phlebotomist kept me distracted while she drew blood😁The receptions was able to schedule further work ups and a follow up appointment within 2 weeks. Very professional atmosphere."

"I’ve only been going to Dr. Vivekanandarajah recently but she’s been great. She’s straight to the point and helps you understand what needs to be checked so you have an idea what can be an issue. Her staff at the Clove Road location is also friendly. I would recommend her and this center to others."

"My appointment was at the new office on Richmond Av. It's a beautiful, spacious place with lots of parking. It's also pretty easy to get to via public transportation. I only waited a short time before I was called in for bloodwork and my appointment shortly afterwards. I saw her asst again, but Everyone was nice, professional. Although I started seeing Dr. Vivek because of a serious illness, she and her staff make visiting the doctor much easier."
