5 months agoI have been with Dr. Abou- Alfa on my way to 3 years now dealing with Stage 4 Cholangiocarcinoma. Now that I have him, I couldn't imagine fighting with anyone else. I feel we are very in sync. He gave me very easy instructions, he is my doctor, I am to listen to him and no one else. Even though he doesn't like me reading my scans, he knows I need to, because I know he has something lined up. He has given me the ability to regain my life (outside of cancer). He always takes the time to answer questions. I recommend writing them down. I have never felt rushed. And no matter what happens, I'm proud to know he is by my side to the endโค๏ธ

6 years agoI rate Dr Abou-Alfa among the best physicians who have treated me in my 68 years and on three continents.. His knowledge about cutting edge developments in the treatment of liver cancer combine neatlywith his winning personality and dedicated team. He is intelligent, erudite and urbane a conversationalist which combine neatly with his grasp of tomorrow's science . I feel I'm with the best I can find in New York and I am very hard to satisfy, but I believe he leaves no stone unturned in dealing with the challenging illness of me and, indeed, all his patients..
