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.

Procedure was great I had a 2 inch open wound that i would stick gauge and clean everyday. Recently, Dr Tsioulias removed the cyst from its root and everything was great. I would like to thank Dr Tsioulias for his continuous care . He is an amazing doctor and his office staff are super friendly and caring. Thank you for caring for me. Definitely will refer others!!!

I was referred to Dr. Tsioulias by the Lenox Hill hospital ER dept as I needed a surgeon to decide…read moreon whether surgery was needed for my condition. I've had a fair amount of experience with various medical professionals and their staff and I was kind of dreading this appointment. The staff was very nice and accommodating and were forthcoming about running behind with appointments. Once I met with the doctor I was amazed by the fact that he didn't push for surgery. He was very honest with me and told me what I could do to try to remedy the situation. He told me that if I followed his suggestions he most likely would never need to see me again. It was a truly refreshing experience! I also want to add that there was a patient in there angling for a note regarding his surgery and pushing them to have the doctor write it for much longer than he would need off. They were polite but firm that that would be considered fraud and they would have no part in it. Bummer for the guy but made me respect the office even more. While I hope I don't need a surgical repair for my issue (because I do plan on following doctor's orders!), if I do I plan on going back to Dr. Tsioulias.

True, but they were not Dr. Samadi, so, wherever he was, I had to look for him and found him. By God's grace, Dr. Samadi saved my husband's life. He was so awesome, with open arms, he welcomed us in his office, treated us so well. From the first visit to his office in November of 2016 and throughout his surgery, hospitalization and recovery he has been there for us. Phone calls from his staff , follow ups, appointments text messages , everything was promptly returned and answered. From this day, ( and every 3 months previously), my husband's PSA level has been undetectable. Dr. Samadi and his staff has maintained their dedication to us and their patients. A model team.
