Patient Reviews

  • "It was an unusual experience for me. There were so many people for the various procedures, I thought I was only getting a blood test. I had no idea how complicated it was. After 10 vials of blood were taken, I met with Dr. Shklar, who was so lovely. She explained the entire procedure to me and why it was so complicated. When I left, I felt in excellent hands to resolve the issue my surgeon wanted, and I understood its purpose. I'd recommend NY Cancer and Blood Specialists to anyone who requires this kind of care."

  • "I have been a patient here for a bit less than a year, and I must say the attention given me from all the staff has been excellent. My physician, Dr. Schklar, is knowledgeable, empathetic and wholly concerned with your over-all health and well-being. The place can be a bit off-putting at first, in that it is a large office attending to many patients, but it is done so professionally and well that you soon realize that they see you as the individual you are, and provide you with the attention you would expect from a top-tier medical establishment."
