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.

Great office with great staff. Everyone friendly Dr. Nahum very nice and understanding.

There are not enough stars
I went to Dr Nahum with possible cancer symptoms. He showed concern and started diagnostics. It was determined to be cancer and he and his staff took me through treatment while easing any fears and offering reassurances. I am now in remission and owe everything to RCCA's wonderful staff.

Dr Naham has been my doctor since 2018. He is caring, compassionate and highly skilled. His staff is both friendly, helpful and professional. His Phlebotomists are excellent and I never even feel the needle.

An amazing doctor and practice
Dr. Nahum was determined to find out why my blood numbers were 'off.' He did numerous tests that all came back negative. He knew something was going on so he did some further testing and it turned out that I have leukemia. He explained everything to me and to my wife and I started treatment shortly after. That was over a year ago and I am now in remission and feeling great. He is a brilliant doctor and his staff and nurses are angels. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Nahum is the best oncologist out there. He has been treating my mom, who has primary peritoneal cancer, for the past 8 years and we couldn’t be happier with her treatment and care. He has kept her with us way longer than expected. Dr. Nahum is a true lifesaver!!

Dr. Nahum is okay, however, his receptionist who's been there for years is evil, and that's a bad reflection on him. She openly makes jokes to colleges about patient coverage. You better not be under 65 and on Medicare (even if you worked 30+ years like me), she will not only ridicule you but make you wait hours to see the Dr. She confused my Medicare (that I've worked for and paid 10's of thousands into) with Medicaid and had to be corrected by another employee. She was dead set on me being a deadbeat loser, so she could have fun, and still made me wait 3+ hours, literally pushed me to the last appointment. And this wasn't the first time, but it was the last.

Told nurses he saw me in hospital but I never spoke with him until i was being discharged. Started scheduling me for procedures without talking to me about treatment plan or even if i wanted to use him. Poor communication from both him and his partner Dr. Wasserman.

Don’t go here if you value your health!!! I had a bone biopsy done in November, after multiple calls to the office for results I never received a callback. I didn’t get a callback till I saw another doctor that called Naham concerned about my bone biopsy and MRI. I was supposed to have a follow up appointment after another MRI. I called for the script never got the script after several calls to the office. The staff had an attitude because I expressed my disappointment. They lied and said they sent my script to the radiology office I was supposed to get the MRI at. Never received one by mail either. I even made sure they had my mailing address correct. I can’t believe I’m the only one they are treating like this. I just want to warn anyone reading this to beware. The office doesn’t even deserve one star. As for doctor Naham I thought he was a nice man but if he lets his office get run like this I have no respect for him. I’m seeking a second opinion.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Nahum since June of 2020 for stage IV renal cell carcinoma and I’m so thankful I’m his patient. He really does care deeply about his patients, as do his entire staff. I’m always treated with compassion and concern for my well-being. If I have a problem during off hours, they are available and get back to me quickly with a solution. I go for immunotherapy infusions bi-weekly and as crazy as it sounds, I love my visits there. Dr. Nahum is very encouraging, too. I’ve hit a couple of bumps in the road and he calms me down and says he’s not giving up, he’s going to do his best to help me get better and find a way to do that. Sr. Nahum and his entire staff are a tremendous blessing in my life.

The doctor seemed to be very nice and the staff was very nice when I was in for a consultation. Here comes the but, I had a bone scan and was frantic waiting for the results. No one has called me back about the result after putting several calls in to the medical results line. Luckily I can view the results online. It was a stressful 5 days. It would be nice for some compassion. I don’t think I will return to this practice if that’s how they treat their patients.

Dr Nahum is one of the most patient Doctors I've ever come across. He makes sure you understand everything and will answer any and all questions you may have. I see him for blood clot disorder and I trust him with my care.

I see Dr. Nahum for blood clots, he monitors my weekly INR Blood Test (Home Testing). I have been seeing him for over 15 years and couldn't ask for a better Hematologist. He is compassionate, thorough and just a very nice man/doctor. His primary practice is dedicated to Oncology and he is Chief of Oncology at Hackensack Jersey Shore University Medical Center, I have heard many stories of how he has saved the lives of Cancer Patients. He is also a tremendous Philanthropist!!!
