Anyone seeing a MO at MSK/Westchester?

I am considering changing MO or at least getting a second opinion.

Is anyone in the group being treated by an oncologist at MSK in West Harrison, NY? If so, do you recommend this doctor? Or does anybody have info on the MO's there?

I'm in southwestern Conn, so that is the closest MSK location to me. And I prefer not to go to NYC at this time!

Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention that in my spare time I do a little "handout solicitation" on Lexington avenue and 68 street. If you see a handsome looking panhandler/homeless bum holding up a sign "LET'S DO LUNCH, YOU BUY", that's me.... I'm used to be tripped and "tipped" over......

They have a parking garage (reduced rate) with a van (periodically) which picks you up and drops you off to any of their facilities in Manhattan. If interested call main number of hospital. I'm having trouble walking too..... ain't it a bitch..... (and balance issues too)...

If you see a tall handsome fella with two buxom blondes, that's not me. I'm the smaller guy standing behind him.

Is that the U from the time that naked woman was sitting on you head for a couple of hours? Sort of a smudged U come to think of it.

I am being treated at mskcc and I go to the facility in montvale nj area so it’s just a cruise over the TZB for you and I find the faculty to be top notch. My MO is in nyc but allows me to be treated at this facility such as SBRT.

Dr Richard Frank. He was referred by my MSK RO and he is GREAT! Also, his staff is excellent.

I agree, his staff is excellent. But I'm going downhill fast and at least I should get a second opinion before it's too late.
