Hackensack Meridian Cancer Care

All staff are wonderful

Dr. Terrin is an absolute gem of a physician. He is truly one in a hundred million, and I cannot adequately express how disappointed I am that Hackensack Meridian Health has chosen not to renew his contract. The compassion, dedication, and genuine care he demonstrates toward not only his patients but their entire families is unmatched. He is the kind of physician who reminds you why people enter medicine in the first place. Dr. Terrin has cared for my family for approximately 40 years. My parents brought my siblings and me to him throughout our childhood and adolescence, and now I have entrusted him with the care of my own two children. He has been there for our family through routine childhood illnesses, major medical diagnoses, and unimaginable loss. As a pediatric oncologist, Dr. Terrin diagnosed and treated my cousin, who suffered from an extraordinarily aggressive form of aplastic anemia. Despite the devastating outcome after two years of treatment, the care, dedication, and compassion he showed my cousin and our entire family have never been forgotten. Decades later, when my youngest son was diagnosed with Alport syndrome, Dr. Terrin listened to me sob on the phone as I struggled to process what this diagnosis meant for my child. He didn't rush me off the phone. He didn't treat me like just another parent on his schedule. He reassured me that we would figure it out together. That moment is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. You cannot teach that level of compassion, and you certainly cannot replace it by simply assigning his patients to another physician. I find it incredibly disheartening that a healthcare organization would allow a physician with this level of dedication, experience, and longstanding patient loyalty to leave its practice. While I recognize that I am not privy to the circumstances surrounding this decision, I sincerely hope HMH understands what it is losing. I will not be remaining with this practice. I intend to follow Dr. Terrin wherever he continues practicing, and I will remain his patient, and keep my children under his care, until the day he decides to retire. I strongly suspect that many other families who have had the privilege of being cared for by him will make the same decision. I also intend to formally communicate my disappointment to HMH Patient Relations. Healthcare should be about more than numbers, contracts, and administrative decisions. It should be about people. Dr. Terrin has spent decades demonstrating exactly what exceptional, compassionate, patient-centered medicine looks like. HMH is not simply losing a physician. It is losing generations of patient trust, loyalty, and the kind of extraordinary care that cannot easily be replaced. I sincerely hope those responsible for this decision understand the magnitude of that loss.

Help with all the staff ,doctors and nurses

Dana APN was the best, very thorough in her assessment. I am so grateful

The only drawback was a follow up on the result of the tests prior to surgery in both the office and Bayshore. There was difficulty in getting some questions answered or return of calls.

She's a very experienced doctor who will provide patients with many options. Perhaps look into giving her a nurse navigator or a more informed and cordial nursing staff.

Everyone was wonderful and caring. I felt more at ease. Dr. Mays was the best! I'm so glad I got an appointment with her.

Great team: Dr. Katz, Wendy, Tara and the new team member Anne!

Ms. Pratola is a professional, courteous and understanding. She paid close attention to my issues, history and future concerns.

Wonderful experience

Dr. Haggerty made me feel much more calm, less frightened, and reassured. She was kind, informative, professional and compassionate. She spent a good amount of time with me explaining facts and answering questions. I value and appreciate my first meeting with Dr. Haggerty very much.

Dr. Katz is kind and totally concerned for her patients.

Great staff. Pleasant atmosphere.
