Although we live in South Florida, we were referred to Dr. Stifelman when my husband was faced with a complex kidney cancer diagnosis in the summer of 2015. From the first meeting prior to surgery at NYU Langone right through the latest follow-up visit at Hackensack University Hospital where Dr. Stifelman now practices, we continue to be impressed with the caliber of care he provides. Dr. Stifelman clearly explained the surgical procedure and its ramifications before the operation, provided close thoughtful monitoring post-operatively and now oversees follow-up at regular intervals. In addition to impressive credentials and renown surgical skills, he is a kind, caring and supportive practitioner. It is no wonder he is con-sidered tops in his field by his peers.
One barometer of quality we have always employed is to look at the caliber of staff a practitioner surrounds him or herself with. The great doctors always have equally great staffers who seem to relish their work. It speaks volumes that both his NYU staff and his Hackensack staff, in the nicest way possible, have each gone above and beyond to work through the many logistics of my husband being an out of state patient. I was bracing for issues and there were none.
If you are looking for experience, cutting edge care and someone with whom you will feel comfortable during a challenging time, Dr. Stifelman is the physician you need to see. We both are so very grateful to him. read more
