I need to find a gyn oncologist in New York quickly!

[ileneg]

Can anyone point me in the right direction on finding a gyn oncologist in the Northern NJ or New York City area? A family member (we have family history of ovarian cancer) has been told by her gyn that an ultrasound shows a "mass" and she needs surgery. this is just a local gyn, so we want to go to someone else who deals with this daily! time is of the essencs of course, so where do we start??
thank you to anyone that can help!

My name is Alba Griesbacker and I am currently a Project Manager for Rob Horowitz Focus Groups.  We are a market research company located in NYC, our main purpose is to recruit consumers and medical professionals to participate in focus groups.

We currently have a client (What If Innovation) that’s conducting an Ovarian Cancer Research Study  the week of October 12th – 16th.  They would like to speak with a range of women who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and are willing to share their experiences with them.  They would like to get a better understanding of what it is like to be a patient: what experiences they go through, what special needs they might have after their diagnosis, how these needs are met and where things could be improved.

The interviews  will be for 2 hours at the patients homes, hospital, coffee shops, wherever the patient feels comfortable.  They will receive $250 for their time.

We operate to the Market Research Society Code of Conduct, which guarantees confidentiality and anonymity to respondents.  All we are looking for are your thoughts and opinions.

Thank you.

I went to Dr Curtin because I had an ovarian cyst the size of a watermelon. Fortunately, for my sake the ovarian cyst was not cancerous,however, my experience with Dr. Curtin was very unpleasant.
