Rec for oncologist for advanced colon cancer

Please call Memorial Sloan Kettering directly and they will guide you to the right specialist. You can actually just walk in - try to bring your records if you have them, and they will immediately take care of you. I believe Columbia Presbyterian would work the same way.

I sent friends to MSK for their daughter's brain cancer that a LI hospital did not treat properly and they cured the kid. They just walked in and asked for help.

Having had cancer and gone through extensive treatment myself, I encourage you to call your insurance company and ask if they have a relationship with certain cancer centers so that all of the treatment costs will be covered. My United policy did and I was given the choice of either of the two hospitals you mentioned. I picked MSK, but they are both excellent. I just had to enroll in United's Cancer program first, which was easy.

Best of luck.
