Will be switching to Dana Farber Boston for my prostate cancer treatment.

I would appreciate a recommendation for a good medical oncologist.

So many good ones there, including Christopher Sweeney, Mary Ellen Taplin, and Misha Beltran. Matthew Smith at Mass General.

Thank you very much for responding. I am currently being treated by Dr. Smith at Mass General. He is extremely knowledgeable and i feel that I will get the proper care for my situation. He is extremely busy and as a result all of my visits with him are extremely rushed. I need someone who will take the time necessary to listen to my concerns and make sure he has answered all my questions. Presently he is not that person.

That's a problem - everyone wants the best oncologists, so they get very busy. You will probably have the same problem with everyone I recommended.
