Recommendations for doctors in or around NJ?

[Lisa1962]

I'm in Westfield. My oncologist is Dr. Bonni Gearhart in the Cancer Center at Overlook.

The surgeon who performed my mastectomy is in NYC - Dr. Eleni Tousimis - she works out of NY Presbyterian/Cornell Medical Center.

I liked my NJ surgeon - but the plastic surgeon I used for reconstruction was in NYC - thus needing a doctor in NYC so I could have the mastectomy and reconstruction at the same time.

The NJ Sugeon I liked (but didn't use) was Michelle O'Shea - her partner Diana Addis is very good also. she came into her office on Christmas Eve for a friend of mine who was having trouble - brought her kids for the few minutes it took for a quick visit. Both women are very caring.

And I can't get the "bold" out of my post today - sorry ???

Lisa,

My surgeon was Dr. Tousimis as well - lumpectomy. After radiation at Sloan Kettering NJ I went back to the oncologist in NY due to lots of aggrevation over Sloan Kettering billing practices.

Karen,
For a surgeon I would recommend Dr. Elisa Santoro also at St. Barnabas.

I remember my dad having billing problems with Sloan. After he died my step mom actually paid some things she didn't need to - just to be done with them.

I just saw Dr. Tousimis at the beginning of the month. she was quite pregnant and was due sometime around now.
