From my personal treatment experience, I know that Dr. Gerard Fumo is absolutely top tier in the Practice of Hematology Oncology. Considering his wealth of knowledge along with the care and compassion he delivers to his patients, truly every day I appreciate and know without a doubt that I am receiving the best possible care for my diagnosis. He absolutely includes me in all aspects of care and treatment. I am naturally curious about details in my ongoing care and treatment including all of the hows, whats, and whys of the status of my body's health. Dr. Fumo is wonderfully patient with my questions and concerns. He always takes the time for explanations. I have 1000% confidence in Dr. Fumo and, of course, recommend him fully and without reservation. He has been my Hero!

My doctor did a wonderful job explaining test results tome. He personally pulled up past radiology pictures & the current scan & carefully compared the 2 views, side by side, explaining what he was seeing & checking for. The results ruled out my greatest fears & the doctor reassured me that the further testing already scheduled would not be necessary. His cheerful greeting is comforting & his explaining details is thorough, serious yet calming. He listened to & addressed all my questions. A top notch doctor, Highest marks.

I was hospitalized in Aust for a exaserbated asthma attack. I developed a mass in my larynx shortly after. I was diagnosed with the word cancer due to tumors growing on and around my laryxn. I went to three diferent places, Middlesex, Yale hospital whom almost every doctor(s) who told me I am going too die if I don't have chem, radiation, or a laryngectomy. I cried and fussed and prayed and then comes Dr. Fumo . He introduced me to Keytruda and in three weeks my voice was back, which was gone since August of 2023 to December 2023. I don't feel the lump in my neck and throat anymore, but haven't done a Pet-Scan or scans of any kind yet. I truly appreciate the time and personable attention and concern Dr. Fumo And His Fantastic Staff always displayed for my health and wellbeing.
