      Does anyone have any experience about LIJ they can share with me? The oncologist/melanoma specialist I am working with is from LIJ and thats where I am having surgery as well. I tried Sloan Kettering  but they wouldn't take my insurance. I searched the forum and found one really positive post but just wanted to see if anyone else has had recent experience with them. thanks!

              Thanks for responding. Dr Wang is the surgeon. Did you get any treatment there besides surgery?

                          Hey Pat

                          I had my WLE at North Shore 6 years ago by Dr Faynsod who was with Dr. Beg's practice in Great Neck.  At that time I had called Sloan Kettering but like you, they didn't take my insurance. I have Empire Gov't/United Health Care

                          I would up going to NYU Cancer Center on 34th street where they take my insurance. My doctor is Dr. Anna Pavlick and  I cannot say enough about NYU Cancer and especially Dr. Pavlick – she is awesome.
