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 Kemeny is a world renowned oncologist. Her protocol literally saved my life. She recommended the arterial hepatic pump, which delivered chem regionally into ,y liver, where it already had metastasized. Along with regional chemotherapy, I trusted her 100% and my confidence in her paid off. That diagnosis was in 2011. I am healthy and thriving in 2023! She saved my life and I am thankful every day of my life to her. It was well worth the time and effort traveling to New York

My father underwent experimental chemotherapy for metastatic colon cancer as Dr. Kemeny’s patient for three years. When he died she wouldn’t even provide us with the courtesy of a phone call. She may know how to address tumors and cancer cells but she has no clue how to treat the human beings who are her patients and their families.

Dr. Kemeny is absolutely the best doctor in the world for liver mets from colon cancer. She will work with her team to make sure you get world-class treatment. And she is the foremost expert on the HAI pump, which has saved many patient's lives. I would not be alive if it wasn't for her and MSK.

Dr. Kemeny appears to be detached and distant to her patients. However, I was diagnosed with4th stage colon rectal cancer in December 2011 and her bedside manners can most definitely be improved as she presents as not having any. I sincerely believe I would not be cancer free if it wasn't for her. I was totally compliant with her protocol and remained positive and confident in everything she advised. I owe Dr. Kemeny my life as I believe she saved mine. I am cancer free! I also love her oncology

My mother was diagnosed with liver cancer and was under Dr. Kemeny's care. This Dr. is a cold and heartless person. To her you are just a thing, a number. She was rude and arrogant during my mother's treatment. In the end, she coldly burst into the exam room and announced "Your cancer is back". No compassion, no breaking the news gently and I believe caused by the Drs. mistake in treatment. My poor mother was in shock, she thought she had been cured. She died in great pain not long after.
