I enroll patients in clinical trials that are open in Commack, and I can facilitate their entry into clinical trials available only at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in Manhattan. I also coordinate consultations with patients’ primary care providers, as well as with in-house consulting specialists such as radiation oncologists, social workers, physical therapists, and nutritionists, who can address the complications of cancer and offer additional therapies.
It is important to me that patients who wish to stay near their homes for treatment receive care equal to that available at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in Manhattan and that they receive quality, state-of-the-art care with compassion and sensitivity during this difficult period in their lives.
