CLL SPECIALIST IN NYC - MANHATTAN?

[Emma_9]

Hello everyone!

I'm still on W+W after being diagnosed w/CLL in 2016. My current hematologist has not been helping me at all---with fatigue, all day hot clammy sweats, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders. At my wits end.

Would it be possible for anyone here to share a recommendation to a CLL Specialist in NYC?!

My primary care phys is clueless, and only referred me to another hematologist w/limited knowledge of CLL.

All advice very much appreciated!

Best,

Emma

Dr. Richard Furman or Dr. Nichole Lamanna. Both are very well known in the CLL world.

Sloane Kettering may be a good option.

I use Dr Mato he’s in Manhattan. a prior post yesterday mentioned Dr Mato is having a free Question answer in early December at a Double Tree hotel.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I did try Dr. Furman a few months ago, and unfortunately, he doesn't accept my insurance. Will let you folks know how the other options turn out! Thx again!

Dr Allan is also at Weill Cornell, not sure if that still presents and insurance issue with you, most patients are referred to him when inquiring abut Dr. Furman. They collaborate and might be another option for you.
