NYU Breast Center

Even though a previous patient posted a recommendation for Dr. Karen Hiotis, I would be concerned about seeing this doctor in light of the fact that she lost a medical malpractice case for UNNECESSARY mastectomy performed upon a woman who was shown to have no cancer:

NYU is one of the highest rated breast cancer centers in the country. I have been coming here for a year and highly recommend Dr. Karen Hiotis. I was there last week and waited about an hour though many in the waiting room said they had been waiting over two hours. The radiologists and surgeons are top notch, so while the wait is annoying, I will put up with it for the quality of care. I have learned that the quality of the radiologist does matter so if you have an outside radiologist consider bringing your slides here. My suggestion is to make an early morning appointment appointment expect to wait. They have a great patient online portal that makes billing etc very easy.

Doctors and radiologists first rate. IF you can stand non-​stop rock music blaring at you from the moment you arrive. In the waiting room (and because of doctors’ scheduling there, you can count on waiting up to two hours — and that’s if they’re on time), in the patient rooms. In radiology. During biopsies, and those endless wire locations — and even call waiting when you call in — it never stops! Worth changing insurance plans to move over to Sloan Kettering, where they treat grown ups, and where you can read and think in peace.
