The oncologist we visited in other facilities were giving her very little hope. We were recommended to Dr Bruckner by Dr Schwartz (the head surgeon of oncology in Mount Sinai). Upon first meeting Dr Bruckner we felt we made the right choice. His experience & success rate with cancer (especially pancreatic cancer) made us feel we were in good hands. My mother's tumors are shrinking and her test get better and better. All the patients we speak to in the treatment room have improvements with their numbers as well. I can't stress enough how happy we are with Dr Bruckner's treatment. He thinks out of the box.. his cancer treatment is different from the rest. He produces positive results. My mother's blood test are proof she is recovering. I highly recommend this facility to anyone suffering from cancer. Not only is the doctor amazing..his entire staff works hard and diligent to make sure your stay there is quick and pleasant. My mother's nurse, Maribel, is one of the best! She's caring & always in high spirits.. she brings happiness where people need it the most. We love you Dr. Bruckner!

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.

After 2 months on crutches and a horrible surgical scar, my bunion reverted back. I'm super grateful I was lead to Dr. Wong. He was confident and assured me there would be no issue in revising my failed bunionectomy without a chance of it reverting again, all without any huge scar and no crutches. He performed a bunionectomy and two toe shortenings at the same time, and my foot turned out wonderfully. My bunion is gone and my toes no longer hit the top of my sneaker when I walk.
