  • "Dr. Staszewski and his PAs don't return phone calls. I did my Dexa test in June of 2024, and I was diagnosed with Osteopenia, however nobody informed me about this until late September. Customer Service in East Setauket office is bad! They need to be trained! I left them several messages regarding prescription refill. I took forever to send it to my pharmacy."

  • "Dr Harry Staszewski is the most competent oncologist you can get..He is very professional, yet so kind and empathic.I was blessed to have him as my doctor,going through Breast Cancer. Even though I am a physician and understand a lot more about cancer as compared to a lay person.But going through a personal experience I realized how important a knowledgeable doctor is.And the importance of understanding and empathy for the patient is undeniable. I thank my doctor and his incredible team from the bottom of my heart ...And I pray for my doctors good health ,may he keep doing his incredible work for many years to come .The patients need doctors like you Dr Harry.!"
