I’ve been a patient of Dr. Peter Stathopoulos for a good 15 years now, if not longer. He’s a Primary Care Provider, but also a board-certified internist and one of the kindest, most compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable, experienced, easy-going and professional physicians I’ve EVER had the pleasure of being the patient of in my 65 years. I trust him implicitly with any and everything to do with my health, medical care and well-being and consider myself extremely lucky to have found someone like him to be my doctor. And in this I’m not exaggerating by any stretch of the imagination, I’m a stage 3 cancer survivor with one lung and have a lot of unique concerns which over the years have caused me quite a bit of stress and anxiety as well as many health-related incidents. He’s managed and saw me through ALL of it with his always calm and wise guidance and care. I cannot recommend this man highly enough to all who seek a primary care doctor or internist for themselves or a loved one.

And over the years, because it sometimes takes a month to get an appointment to see him, I’ve gone to his office and seen the nurse practitioner, Michele MacMurray as a walk-in. She’s ALSO a top shelf provider and one who I’ve felt was sent by angels from above to look out for my well-being. She’s a wonderful person, compassionate and caring, extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and totally professional. If you go to Dr. Peter’s office as a walk in, you will likely see her and I assure you cannot do better. Then you can make an appt. to see Dr. Peter for a follow up. Also the office staff are WONDERFUL people, they are always so friendly, warm, and welcoming – as well as being totally professional and extremely COMPETENT. You don’t always get this in doctor’s offices these days, and this I’ve experienced firsthand – but not HERE, not EVER in my experience.

I am also going to give a shout-out to Thomas and Ashley at the front desk because I’ve seen those two there the longest and they always make me feel so good when I walk in and get checked in by them, or get my blood work paperwork or referrals from them on the way out, or need to call for an appointment etc. These are good people. Truth be told It’s so hard to find good people these days, but I appreciate them all so much I wanted to say more than just review Dr. Peter. And I’ll say this – I moved to New Jersey 6 years ago but drive back to Staten Island for my visits with Dr. Peter or if I need walk-in urgent care. So that should tell you something right there.

Dr. Inna Tubman is the best OB-GYN I have ever had. She correctly diagnosed my endometriosis & performed surgery that I needed to remove the affected tissue at RUMC. Dr. Tubman & her entire staff office are compassionate, knowledgeable, & always available to answer questions & provide support. 

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Tubman as my doctor, & I feel incredibly fortunate to be in her care, I would never leave her unless I moved out of state.

Dr. Margalit’s entire team was supportive, took the time to explain everything in understandable language, and took very good care of me. It was great to see the camaraderie of the different teams throughout the hospital—it’s obvious they are passionate about their work and care about one another as much as their patients. I got injured while at an international competition; they worked me into their schedule unbelievably fast. I am confident I got the best care possible and will be back soon to fencing.

it’s simply not enough stars for Dr. Tubman. If I could give her more, I would!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Tubman. She cared for me throughout an incredibly important and complicated pregnancy and ultimately delivered our beautiful daughter. I will forever be grateful that she was the doctor beside us throughout this experience!

My pregnancy required frequent monitoring and came with several complications, so having an OB I genuinely trusted was extremely important to me. Dr. Tubman consistently made me feel heard, cared for and reassured, while also always taking my concerns seriously. I never felt like I was just another patient. I always felt that both my health and my daughter’s health were being carefully considered, and that meant everything to Michael and me.

When it came time for my induction at 37 weeks, labor progressed unbelievably quickly. What I expected might take a day or more turned into only a matter of hours, which surprised and impressed both of us! The birth became extremely intense, and my epidural did not provide the relief we had expected, so I ultimately experienced an essentially unmedicated delivery. Although an unmedicated birth had been included in my birth plan as something I hoped I might be able to do, the pain became so severe that I reached a point where I was afraid I simply wasn’t strong enough. I proved myself wrong, in no small part because Dr. Tubman believed in me, encouraged me and supported me alongside Michael. She was there through one of the most physically and emotionally overwhelming experiences of my life, and I felt completely safe trusting her wholeheartedly to bring our daughter into the world.

After a pregnancy filled with so many worries and unknowns, hearing that our baby girl was healthy and finally having her placed in my arms after I needed oxygen and briefly blacked out is a moment I will never forget. Dr. Tubman will forever be part of that memory and part of my daughter’s story. ❤️

What also meant so much to me was that her care didn’t simply end once my daughter was born. I had significant blood loss and needed continued postpartum monitoring, and I felt that my recovery and well-being mattered too. There is something incredibly special about having a physician care for you throughout pregnancy, guide you safely through delivery, and then see you on the other side as a brand-new mother holding the baby you spent all those months talking about.

Dr. Tubman, thank you for taking care of me, for taking care of our daughter, for listening to me throughout this pregnancy, and for being the person who ultimately brought our precious Elizabeth into the world. Michael and I will never forget what you did for our family.

Dr. Michael Zamaitis is truly an exceptional doctor. He performed surgery on someone I know, and I was incredibly impressed by the level of care and dedication he showed throughout the entire process. He is extremely talented, confident, and knowledgeable. You can tell that the knows exactly what he is doing and is truly great at what he does. What stands out even more is how much he genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being. He has such a positive impact on his patients’ lives and continues to follow up after surgery to make sure the recovery is going well and everything is progressing as expected. His compassion, attentiveness, and commitment to his patients really set him apart. I would highly recommend Dr. Zamaitis to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and dedicated surgeon. He is truly one of the best doctors you could ask for.

Dr Wallen Chan is wonderful. He is soft spoken and knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. I was feeling quite ill and was able to get an appointment in one day. His office staff are friendly and efficient. His new office is updated and larger than the previous office. There is also ample parking. I highly recommend Dr. Chan.

EXCELLENT! He takes the time to explain everything. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. Minimal wait time, the staff is helpful and efficient.

Dennis Keane

Amazing. Dr. Karcnik sat and talked to me for as long as I wanted to engage. He was polite, respectful, and talked to me like a human being. He answered every question I had. He talked out every option, thinking through the pros and cons. I mentioned how much I appreciated the conversation and he said, ‘I have to put my name on everything I do.’ I can’t say enough about how wonderful he was. I would recommend him to the world. I wish more doctors were like him. 5 stars, all the accolades, all the things. Highly recommend.

Dr. (Wallen) Chan is an excellent physician, caring and listens to your concerns.

Andrea Gray

Dr. Kokinakkis is my OB/GYN and helped deliver my baby. He made me so comfortable every step of the way. I was so nervous because it was my first birth and I genuinely don’t think I could have made it through this process with anyone else as my doctor. He’s incredibly experienced but also very accommodating to what the patient wants. I really can’t say enough about how amazing he was as a physician. I think he’s hands down the best OB on the Island. I ended up having a complication and he got the baby out in 4 minutes via c-sec, which tells you how skilled he is.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shats since 2014, and she delivered my youngest child in 2015. I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her. Her bedside manner is exceptional. She always takes the time to listen, never makes me feel rushed, and has such a calm, comforting way of speaking that immediately puts me at ease. She genuinely cares about her patients, and it shows in every visit. I honestly don’t care how long I have to wait to see her because she is absolutely worth it. It’s so hard to find a doctor who not only provides excellent medical care but also listens, cares, and treats you with kindness and respect. Dr. Shats has continued to take amazing care of me through every stage of life—not just during pregnancy. If you’re looking for an OB-GYN who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in her patients, I highly recommend Dr. Shats. She is one of a kind, and I’m so grateful to have her as my doctor.

Vanessa, Danielle, Mary Kate, and Kim. I can’t say enough about the incredible care and kindness these nurses showed me during my stay this week. Vanessa, Danielle, Mary Kate, and Kim went above and beyond every single day — not just with skill and professionalism, but with genuine compassion that made a tough week easier. They treated me like family, always checking in, always smiling, and always making sure I was comfortable. Their teamwork and dedication truly represent the best of RUMC.

I absolutely love Dr. David Karcnik! This is my 2nd visit and I actually look forward to my appointments. He is very knowledgeable and excellent communications. He takes the time to listen and review my test results with me, ensuring I receive the best recommendations and care. The prescription process is flawless—they are sent immediately, and my doctor even went to bat with my insurance company to get a denied medication approved, saving me hundreds of dollars. The office is incredibly convenient, allowing me to get blood work and immunizations during the same visit. The staff is so friendly and approachable and best of all the wait time is minimal!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. (Rita) Shats for over 10 years. She’s amazing doctor and surgeon. When my cyst ruptured, I was in the operating room in less than a week. I love how she’s so supportive and explains everything when asking questions or when test results come back. The office staff is really nice too.

Dr Tun is very caring and considerate about the issues you have. She takes the time to go over everything with you. After 26 plus years and countless other doctor’s appointments, she knew exactly what was wrong with me!!! She sent me to see a GI to get tested for Celiac disease. That was the issue all along.

★★★★★

Dr. Rotatori and his staff always provide prompt and Courteous service. They seem genuinely interested in my health and are always eager to help in any way. Highly recommended.

“Dr. Wahib, Zafar listened to all my concerns. He answered all my questions. His staff were professional and thorough.”

I recently had a terrible accident. I slipped and fell on black ice and fractured my femur and hip. I was brought to RUMC via ambulance and had a partial hip replacement later that same day. The surgeon assigned to me was Dr. Adam Margalit. He came to see me and assured me that he would take his time and make sure that my surgery was done with utmost precision and care. I was so pleased with him and his staff. They were kind, professional and capable. I felt that I was literally in good hands. While recovering, I was in the care of different nurses and support staff. While I had a good experience with all of them, I would like to note that one particular nurse, Joe Ruggiero, who was outstanding! This was a major crisis in my life, and he helped me get through it with his patience, care, attention, and kindness. Overall, I feel that I received excellent care during my stay at RUMC.

I recently went here to the emergency room, but I went again yesterday for a procedure. Each time I had a wonderful experience. The hospital was very clean. Each and every staff member that I encountered was exceptionally kind and professional. I can’t say enough good things about this hospital.

Excellent service they treat patients with love, and they all are so kind. They have taken good care of my dad since he is there.

Dr. (Lina) Leykina is an exceptional endocrinologist who consistently provides outstanding care. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable and takes the time to address my concerns with a clear explanation. I feel very confident in her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch doctor.

I cannot thank Dr. Ahmed and his amazing team of physicians for helping my 3 year old son feel better after being diagnosed with RSV. He was super gentle with my son who was extremely fussy and was able to treat him and feeling better. They were super-fast and up to date with everything. This was one of the best hospitals we’ve been to. From the reception in the front to the security guards, everyone was super friendly and all wished for my son to feel better. Sometimes it’s the little things that really help lift people up. Thank you again Dr. Ahmed and team. We are forever grateful.

I just got back from having a procedure at RUMC and I could not have been treated any better. From the moment I walked in, every staff member I encountered was friendly and competent. Nurse Kevin did my paperwork and checked me in. He was compassionate, professional, and made me feel at ease. All of the nurses that were part of my procedure were incredible (Allison, Lil, and Roseanne). They made sure I was comfortable both during the procedure and in recovery, and you can tell that they really care about their patients. My doctor (Dr. Yiachos) is excellent. He explained everything and came to see me after to let me know that everything went well. Thank you for making an unpleasant procedure so much easier!

Dr Rotatori and Marisa Semioli, NP were just amazing. They took the time to help me understand things that were never clearly explained to me before. That NP is going places! I can’t wait to say I knew her when.

We were given Sophia 3 days ago. It’s an amazing hospital. A very professional and friendly team. We would like to send a very big thank you to our great doctor, Eman Sultan. She was very professional and very kind with us as well as her professional team (Dr. Lau, an anesthesiologist Dr. Riso and our great nurses Julia and Christina). Also, we send a big thank you and appreciation to the team after delivery , they were all the best (doctors, nurses, housekeepers). Unfortunately, we do not remember the names. Finally, our great appreciation for Ms. Mena from the birth certificates department, she was very nice with us and gave us all the information, support and guidance to the next process.

It Is always a pleasure talking to Dr. Faravash. She listen to us and it is very pleasant to see a doctor that makes you feel confident and comfortable. I would definitely give her a 10!

This is our family’s second experience with a C-section birth. From the minute we stepped in, the security guard wanted to help us with our bags and everyone we encountered was pleasant and helpful. Dr. Benson and staff were flawless in their execution. The post operation nurses and doctors were professional and accommodative. We had specific issues that needed extra care and I believe everyone went above and beyond to help us. Thank you RUMCSI!

If it wasn’t for Dr. (Dara) Fedele with the Breast and Imaging Center, I would have ended up with a SECOND unnecessary surgery. She recommended a prone table and my biopsy took 20 minutes, tops. The techs were also great and the front desk was fantastic.

My newborn had jaundice and then his labs were not satisfactory. Dr. K. McDonough was amazing, explaining everything throughout the process. When my son’s labs were not getting back to normal, he took it upon himself and arranged for immediate appointments with related specialists. He took so much burden off my shoulders. It meant a lot, and I’m very grateful.

On September 5 of last year I suffered a terrible fall.  I had two large lumps on my head that were bleeding down my face, my right leg was very swollen and painful and I could not stand or walk. I was taken the trauma unit and was quickly surrounded by nurses who were joined by a doctor. Every one of them was professional and kind. Their professionalism and kindness helped me stay calm. I had many tests and it was discovered that my hip was broken and I had massive internal bleeding. Dr. Jayram explained how serious my injury was. He said he wanted to start blood transfusions and operate quickly. He promised to do it that evening and he stayed late and did. It was important to me that I acknowledge the wonderful care I got. God bless them all and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I guess it was our lucky day. We walked into the emergency room and everyone was extremely helpful. Doctors were on the top of their game and kept an eye on my son.

Was in the ER and had the most wonderful, kind, compassionate and caring physician’s assistant in the world. Hany Yousef was amazing. More doctors should be like him. RUMC is lucky to have a doctor like him. Thank you Hany for everything you did. God Bless you.

Dr. Philip Otterbeck is the consummate professional. He’s extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous and kind. An absolute pleasure to deal with.

I love this hospital. I gave birth to all my children here. The staff are very nice and on point. I feel safe, it’s clean and spacious.

I went for an ambulatory procedure with Dr. Frank J. Lacqua and I have never felt so welcomed, taken care of and comfortable. The whole staff from beginning to end were very professional as well as personable and kind hearted. If I were to mention a few names I might add Amelia Piccione and Nurse Anesha were extremely caring and went above and beyond. They were very thorough in giving me instructions and addressing any concerns I had with respect to my after-care when leaving.

The hospital, including the front desk and security, should be awarded a gold medal. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU all so much for showing me

My mother-in-law was admitted for 8 days. I can’t put into words how great the entire team of nurses, social workers, case managers, etc., are on the 4th floor. My mother-in-law raved about how great and friendly everyone was, took their time with her (she is a fall risk) and managed her care until she was well enough to go home. They arranged for her to have a walker and recliner (which arrived the next day) when she got home and made sure her after-care with VNASI was coordinated and ready to go. At discharge her aftercare program, medications, and scheduled appointments were carefully explained to her and as she said to me on the ride home, “they treated me with such dignity and were so friendly.” I wanted to especially single out Kiara Lorenzana, Catherine Rodriguez, and Ievgenia Cherkes for all their help. They truly went above and beyond! My wife, mother-in-law and I are deeply grateful for the team on the fourth floor!

Excellent office, Dr. Akbar is kind and so very helpful. Thank you for such a pleasant experience.
