Besides my superb top quality medical team of Surgeons and Oncologists, I found the Nurses go above and beyond in their work, providing genuine care with such grace and pure empathy, often tending to patients as if family. Let's take a moment to praise the nurses. This year, 2025 I am a twenty years cancer survivor and visit MSKCC annually for my check up. It's key to stay informed and hopefully catch symptoms as early as possible. Sending prayers for healing and blessings to those who are going through the journey of one of the most difficult of diagnoses. Let us hope and pray they find a cure someday soon. Wishing you and yours a blessed healthy happy Thanksgiving. Thank you

ORIGIN: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) was…read moreformed in 1980 when the first U.S. hospital dedicated to cancer treatment -- New York Cancer Hospital (1884), later renamed Memorial Hospital for the Treatment of Cancer (1899) -- merged with the Sloan Kettering Institute, a research institution founded in 1945 by philanthropists Alfred Sloan and Charles Kettering. CONCEPT: The hospital is dedicated to research and procedures (both inpatient and outpatient) associated with cancer treatment. LOCATION: This location represents the first and oldest site associated with MSKCC. It was constructed in the 1930s as part of what later became known as the Sloan Kettering Institute. SURGERY EXPERIENCE: This site (circa 1939) is not intuitive to navigate, the product of limited available space and development of new cancer treatments and associated technologies. Nonetheless receptionists on the ground floor provide the necessary guidance to get to your designated location (including specific elevators). Unlike the new MSKCC sites that are scattered across the city and surrounding suburbs, there appears to be little effort in making the main location peaceful or attractive. However it's important to keep in mind that MSKCC is highly regarded for cancer treatment, ranking second in the nation in U.S. News and World Report (2025) and first in oncology in Newsweek (2026). Hospital staff are professional, patient, and friendly making the experience less stressful. The staff appear to share a stance of not overwhelming patients with information, but are immediately able to answer questions and concerns as they are presented. That said, it's best to be familiar with the current and anticipated next step in care in order to make sure it is enacted as expected. Twice during the three day hospital stay there was need to point out an error in post-surgery protocol, and both were acknowledged and corrected (necessity of limited diet (liquid) and application of intermittent pneumatic compression sleeves to reduce likelihood of blood clots). Hospital meals can become the highlight of a patient's day. There are many options, including some offerings apparently inspired by menus at fine restaurants. Meat and fish dishes arrive well-done, perhaps due to being warmed under dome for long period between preparation and transport to room or prioritization of food safety. If the meals are not tolerable, alternatives in the neighborhood are abundant (e.g. NAYA, Chopt) as long as a way to get take out delivered to the hospital room (such as through a visitor) is navigated. Despite being located without a designated car drop off/pick up area along York Avenue, car pick up after patient discharge was well-orchestrated, and thus not as inconvenient nor difficult as we had anticipated.

I visited Dr. Law back in 2008. I asked him if he can fix a small scar on my brow. There was a…read moreline of missing hair on it, which I thought could be fixed with a hair transplant. Dr. Law answered kind of idiotically. He started talking about his time in the army and suggested getting the scar fixed by someone who could "sew it together" This man didn't realize that brow hair can be transplanted and further improved by a dermatological MDs. Otherwise, he wouldn't have recommended something against the law of hair transplant surgeons!

To make it short, he is THE best doctor!! We live in Florida, and after my son suffered a severe…read morewrist injury, ruptured and torn in every possible way, we spent nearly ten months going from doctor to doctor in the state of Florida. Unfortunately, the care and treatment we received were disappointing and at times even dismissive. Determined to find the very best, we looked beyond Florida, and that is how we found Dr. Jason S. Pruzansky, MD, in New York City. From the first consultation through surgery and follow-up care, Dr. Pruzansky was extraordinary. He is incredibly friendly, patient, and thorough, always taking the time to explain every detail and answer all of our questions. His professionalism and expertise gave us the confidence and peace of mind we had been searching for. Yes, we fly to New York City for every appointment, but the quality of care and the trust we have in Dr. Pruzansky make it absolutely worth it, especially when it comes to your child's health. The entire team, from the front desk to the clinical staff, is warm, welcoming, and helpful. They make the process smooth and supportive. All in all, our experience has been perfect. I can recommend Dr. Jason S. Pruzansky and his team to anyone who wants the very best care!

I went for help with a trigger finger. I knew there was something wrong when the dr's assistant,…read morewho came to ask me some basic questions, suddenly left in a hurry when I told her I had xrays of my hand done by an orthopedist 3 days before and asked if I could have them sent to the office. The doctor came in, touched two fingers, and said I needed an xray. I asked him if I could call the orthopedist and have them sent over. He asked, "How do you think they will get them to me?" in a highly condescending tone. I said they'd probably email them. He insisted that would be low quality, and he'd need them on a CD. I said fine, I'd go get him the CD. He said he wouldn't be able to read them and insisted I get xrays in his office. I told him the other doctor had ruled out all the issues he wanted to see on the xray. When he learned I had spoken to the orthopedist's assistant (who was 100 times more thorough examining my hand and giving me a cortisone shot than he was), he got extremely condescending and implied that she wasn't qualified to rule out everything, and his mocking tone and laugh implied he thought that I was a fool to have let her give me a cortisone shot. (By the way, that shot worked fantastically well.) To add insult - he looked at the xrays he forced me to re-do on his iPad! I felt conned. $300 for duplicate xrays! And they were a complete repeat of what I had 3 days before. As expected, he confirmed everything I already knew from the orthopedist assistant, so I guess she is qualified after all. Then he diagnosed me with a hereditary condition! From an xray! I really wanted an MRI to see the tendons not the bones since, as I told him, the tendons were bothering me, and he said, "I can write you a script, but the diagnosis won't change!" in a tone that implied I was an idiot for requesting an MRI. He said I should come back in a month. I will never step foot in his office again. No doctor should treat a patient with such a lack of respect. Be warned!

His nurse Jola is also amazing and I will forever remember her kind, calming demeanor. It's worth noting that before I decided to move forward with Dr. Rizk, I had consultations with others and received varying treatment plans.
