Dr. Yelena Janjigian, MD

November of 2019 my grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer and being treated at Sloan for palliative radiation. We always went as a family, we would into music playing, coffee tea, crackers, made a sad time feel good. During that time, I went to my gynecologist who performed an internal and found a mass, he sent me for an MRI. Sloan in Commack was so kind to my Grandfather I decided to schedule my MRI with radiation in Commack the results came back, ended up in Dr. Rustum's office, got me in quickly and made me feel super safe, my surgery was scheduled for December 4th which is my birthday. Well December 4, 2019, a mass the size of an orange was removed from my ovaries, the mass was carcinoma. Naturally the mass was sent pathology, results came back the mass was originated in my GI area and jumped into my ovaries which made my mass malignant. Well from that point Dr. Rustum scheduled every test under the sun looking for a mass in my GI area and nothing was found. December 2019 was

My wife had an appointment to discuss her cancer treatment. We were asked to come early to accommodate the doctor. We waited for 2 hours and never were told why the doctor never came into the exam room. I am a physician with 40 years of experience, and have never seen such callousness and lack of empathy for a patient with cancer who was treated this way. If this is how Sloan Kettering treats it cancer patients, then I feel sorry for them. A simple explanation for the delay and some compassion would have gone a long way to alleviate our anxiety while waiting. This was a very disheartening experience which I truly hope no one else ever has to go through.

Dr. Janjigian and her staff (shout out to Fiona) are great. It's obviously been extra stressful with all the COVID related protocols, but we're really happy she took over our Mom's care at MSK.

Dr Janjigian is a kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable physician. She has access to the latest treatments in gastric cancer and has helped me to stay ahead of my disease progression while living an excellent quality of life. She and her office staff see each patient as an individual rather than merely a number in a study. I am so glad that I have her as a partner in my fight against this disease.

Extremely sincere and professional

Dr Janjigian is knowledgeable, professional, and also warm, caring and personable. She provides high quality care accompanied by high levels of empathy and understanding for the patient experience.
