Went today for a second opinion about my squamous cell carcinoma on my mouth. I met with an…read moreoncologist who supposedly was top rated. The man starts off with now I've been on infusion therapy at another hospital for six months. He turned to me and says well maybe possibly if maybe we add chemotherapy to the mixed, we could possibly maybe make the tumor shrink more. I said that's an impossibility. I said the side effects would be detrimental to my life. I work in customer relations he said absolutely the side effects that I would have would be sores in my mouth and my face would turn red and have a rash all over it. Oh yeah, I'm really gonna be able to work in customer relations, looking like some Oompa Loompa, and that's only the definite side effects that he knew about that's not the fatigue, hair, loss, muscle problems, and everything else that could possibly arise from the chemo. I said do you have any idea if this is definitely gonna work he says no he had no idea if it would be helpful at all so I should allow myself to have chemo when they have no even percentage factor that it could possibly help so I should have poisonous medication put into my system on maybe a hunch. Then I met with the surgeon who told me that I'll have an opening after the tumor is removed and that they have no idea how bad that my speech will be affected from it that I will need speech therapy. It will take a year to come back from this. They don't know whether or not I'll ever be able to properly. Use my mouth again and then starts talking about taking lymph nodes out of my neck considering that my CT scans are clean for my lymph nodes. He says well maybe possibly there might be something micro size in the neck and so we're gonna have to go cut your neck up and take out your lymph nodes in your neck just because it might be a safety factor that we have to do With no backing information on any scan that states that this is a necessary thing to do I have never seen such negligence and misrepresentation? I have no trust in the doctors that I saw today and I would advise everybody to avoid this hospital

Compassionate, understanding and goes over and beyond for patient care. I'm really not just saying this, he is truly incredible. Dr. Ian Horkheimer specializes in hematology and medical oncology and is board certified in both. For many years, he has been treating patients in the Little Silver community. Dr. Horkheimer received his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin. He completed his residency at Washington University-Barnes/Jewish Hospital in internal medicine and conducted his fellowship training at Duke University Medical Center in hematology and medical oncology.

He was patient, informative and has a fantastic bedside manner. I was a mess at the time and he looked past it and helped to settle my nerves. As for the staff, you had some good and some bad. Most of the nurses are great. The woman who make the appointments were always helpful as well. Once and a while I had or saw someone else have some trouble with a particular girl at the front desk. I also had some issues with a couple of the woman giving transfusions. For one they would barely introduce themselves and then Im hard to stick and they would make it obvious when they were annoyed. These things make an uncomfortable situation worse. I add this in because no matter how great a doctor is he is only as good as his staff will allow. Overall my experience here was a 7 out of 10 and if I had any problems I would go back without hesitation.

Great bedside manner, dry sense of humor, no rushing to get you out and open to answer 9,00000 question that you might have. He's also been on the "Top Doctors" list for many years. His office is located inside the satellite Valley/Mt Sinai cancer center in an easy to reach location. No need to go to the hospital for chemo/bloodwork etc. I'm extremely happy with my choice.

I have been going to MSK Middletown for two years now (breast cancer)…read more When I called there the day I heard the dreadful words from an outside radiologist saying the MRI was not good and I needed a biopsy, the MSK team has been incredible. The scheduler, hearing the tears in my voice, said "We've got you." I have felt that way ever since. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kerstein and Dr. Park. Clear, patient and compassionate, they have guided me through my treatments without once forgetting my humanity. Yes, sometimes you need to wait an extra 10-15 for your appointment time, but this is a cancer hospital not a restaurant. If someone sick needs a little more time with your doctor so be it. It will be your turn to need the extra 20 minutes at some point. We are blessed in central NJ to have such an incredible medical facility right here. There's nowhere else I would ever go.

Yes, they have an abundance of business so they don't exactly take the time with you. But, you do need to advocate for yourself and speak up when you feel you are being rushed. Frustrating when you expect to see the doctor and they put an iPad before you because the doc isn't there. When you have a scheduled telemedicine, expect it to be thirty minutes past your time.

He gave my friend with lung cancer 11 extra years, when her life expectancy was 6 to 24 months tops. Those years she led a relatively active, healthy and pain free (managed with medication) life. I have growths on my thyroid and I didn't have to go looking for a oncologist- I chose Dr Salib over those internationally known oncology centers. Dr Salib also participates in FDA approved medication/chemo studies that many times work well and can extend your life. If your doctor isn't giving you too many options, or wants to stop treatment, try going to Dr Salib's. Of course not everyone can get the great results my friend did, but Dr Salib gave her 11 years when she was facing 6 months until death. Enough time to sort out her affairs. See her grandchildren engaged, married, and great grandchildren.

Since doctors are typically super busy and hard to track down or see, their nurses are the ones to face patients most of the time. Lauren is very dedicated to her work and considerate of her patients.

She is kind-hearted and listens to her patients' worries and concerns. She makes every effort to make sure to communicate patients' questions to the doctors she works with for answers and solutions. I can't say enough thanks to Lauren! On a separate note, the nurses in the infusion room are all wonderful, so caring and competent that make the harsh treatment much less stressful for the patients and their families.
