"My experience at the Riverhead facility of Northwell blood and cancer has always been a pleasant experience with very helpful staff, including the front desk and the nurses and especially Dr. Murphy. He has been very helpful to me and very patient in trying to figure out what some of my symptoms might be related to. I realize that there are patients there that have much more severe problems than I do but in my view, Dr. Murphy treats everybody equally kindly and courteously. And compassionately."
