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.

Not Bad; Not Great
Not bad--not great--what do you want in an Oncologist anyway? Contractor is polite, business-like and knowledgeable. The environment at the Hudson location of NYOH is pleasant (though they never have any coffee) and the staff is helpful, kind and competent

Just saw Dr. Contractor with my 82 year old mother who has metastatic lung cancer. We've worked with 3 oncologists and he is the star! He explained things that no other doctor explained to us and gave us hope. He reminds me of an old fashioned doctor, one who is known and trusted for his knowledge and his wisdom. It was the most productive time we've spent since my mother's diagnois.
