Patient Reviews

  • "Everyone there is soo amazing dr Desai is wonderful as is the entire staff."
      from Karen 5.0 Stars - (2025-03-02)
  • "My history with NY Blood and Cancer Centers is a long one. From the moment I walked into Dr. Vacirca’s office in 2009 after a diagnosis of Stage II breast cancer, I knew I was in the right place. Everyone here is professional, kind and empathetic. I have since started seeing Dr. Desai in Babylon. I have moved from the Setauket area, but did not want to lose my connection with the practice that treated me all of these years. She and her staff are just as wonderful. I have had many of the top 5 stressors one can have in life & this practice has helped me through my anxiety and depression regarding them. I highly recommend this practice. I would never go anywhere else."

  • "This place honestly impressed me. First time there, every single staff member was very efficient I never write reviews, but I felt the need to express my gratitude. The place was extremely busy and I was called right in on my exact time. Blood was taken and results were read to me in 7 minutes. Dr Desai was referred to me by a friend, and I couldn’t have been more happy with her attentiveness. She listened to my concerns which hardly happens these days with Doctors. They rush you in and out and gas light you. I highly recommend her, and this facility"

  • "I think Dr Dasia is one of the best Doctors I know. I trust her and only see her."
      from Vito 5.0 Stars - (2025-02-04)
  • "I have been using NYCAB for about 5 years. Fortunately, I have no signs of cancer, although I have been seriously anemic in the past. I have a complete blood screen every 6 months or so and this has helped keep an eye on other issues and address them before they turn into more serious problems. After a certain age, I think all of us should have regular screenings to detect possible issues early and avoid allowing them to develop into dangerous situations."
