    When I was first diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, I researched he best doctors for this disease in NYC. Dr. Ramek was high on the list as a very caring and competent hematologist/oncologist, and he happened to be in my network and 10 minutes away! Bonus! Once I met him, I knew I would stay with him. So caring, knowledgeable, and will take the time you need. Always asks how you are feeling, anything bothering you, quick check of temperature, BP, heart, etc. He accompanies his patients through the hallway to the treatment room, even though we have been there hundreds of times. (You may have to slow him down a bit as he is the Energizer Bunny!) The nurses in the treatment room are angels! Always a greeting using your name and with a smile and apologies if they took a minute too long to get to you. I see others coming into the treatment room, with smiles and greetings, and these are people fighting for their lives! We are all offered snacks, drinks, anything you need. We spend our time between NYC and Florida, so I needed a doctor in Fl also. I see someone at the Mayo Clinic, one of he best! I would rather see Dr. Ramek and his team any day and time.
