Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Aral always listens to you and answers every question thoroughly and understandably. He shows true compassion and care. All staff and team members Rebecca, Cynthia, Eva, Kristy and Samantha were wonderful.

Dr aral and staff, Riverhead NY.
Dr.Aral as well as his staff are very devoted to their patients and always explain all procedures beforehand and answer all pertinent questions.Dr. Aral is an expert at what he does and shares his insight and knowledge with his patients.He never rushed us with our weekly visits Would definitely recommend Dr.Aral at Optum as well as staff for any radiation issues. It was a little scary at the beginning, not knowing what’s involved with radiation therapy..Thankfully Dr Aral and wonderful staff guided us along the way. Thanks to Dr Aral and staff the entire 6 weeks went pretty smoothly. Thanks and God bless the staff at Optum. Riverhead. For all your good care concerning my husband’s 30 day radiation treatment.Thank you Dr Aral, Rebecca,Shannon, Chrissy, Sam,Cynthia,Eva, and any others who helped us. During January 2nd to February 13 th 2025. You are Al in our hearts and prayers forever!!

Excellence in Radiology Treatment
Upon meeting Dr. Aral, he had 4 pages of hand written notes about my ase. Very impressive. He explained my cancer, treatment, potential side effects thoroughly. I had written down several questions to ask going into our meeting but didn't need them. He covered everything. His entire staff is gentle and knowledgeable from the receptionist and nurse to the technicians. This practice should be the gold standard for Radiology treatment and all medical providers. I will be forever grateful to them all.

Dr Aral spent a lot of time with me answering questions and giving me advice. The office had a pumpkin painting contest for all patients which was fun. All the staff were helpful and cheerful. I highly recommend this place.

Outstanding Care
I received outstanding care from both Dr. Aral and his amazing staff. During my radiation consultations and treatments the care I received was professional, competent, and kind. They went out of their way to accommodate my unique circumstances. Dr. Aral always explained all the elements of my treatments in details. He never rushed and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this practice.
