    Gerardo Jerry Vitiello, MD, joined Northwell Health as an academic surgical oncologist in 2023. He specializes in treating liver, bile duct, gallbladder, pancreas and stomach cancer, as well as melanoma and soft tissue sarcomas including gastrointestinal stromal tumor. An avid baseball player growing up, Dr. Vitiello started medical school at Emory University thinking he d go into orthopedics, but surgical oncology clicked for him during his third year. I liked the critical thinking aspect of being a surgical oncologist; it wasn t can we do more? but rather when and how can we optimize treatment for this person? I also liked approaching care in terms of the whole body, not just one specific location. After completing a residency at NYU Langone Health and a fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, he was drawn to the Northwell Health Cancer Institute for its one-stop approach to cancer treatment. All consultations and appointments are set up in one visit, which streamlines the process for patients, he says. And our team meets weekly to get multi-disciplinary feedback on each patient case so that everyone is on the same page and next steps are expedited. Dr. Vitiello has published more than 30 research manuscripts and is working with other oncologists and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientists to study the role of systemic immune and metabolic responses to cancer. I really enjoy finding information to push the field forward. How can I improve the lives of my patients and everyone else too? Cancer therapy is dynamic, and we re always learning more. In addition to research, empowering his patients is what inspires Dr. Vitiello day to day. When someone learns they have cancer, their biggest fear is the loss of control. Feeling at the mercy of the disease and being overwhelmed with information is very stressful. In my first meeting with a patient, I focus on creating a clear and simple plan regarding next steps and things that they can control. He works with patients on holistic aspects of care such as diet and exercise, referring them to specialists if necessary. The idea is to get them in the best possible shape to fight the cancer and tolerate the treatment, he says. At the end of the day, my goal is to get to the post-operative conversation with good news. The thrill of saying, We did the right things and here s the proof , that s what really drives me. Dr. Vitiello is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor. He is also highly rated in 1 other condition, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor, Fibrosarcoma, Stomach Cancer, Pancreaticoduodenectomy, and Tissue Biopsy. Dr. Vitiello is board certified in American Board Of Surgery and American Board Of Surgery/Complex General Oncology.

    What is the definition of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor?

    A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a type of tumor that occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. This type of tumor is thought to grow from specialized cells found in the gastrointestinal tract called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) or precursors to these cells. Affected individuals can develop one or more tumors. GISTs are usually found in adults between ages 40 and 70; rarely, children and young adults develop this type of tumor.

    When should I see a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor near Commack, NY?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor near Commack, NY?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctors near Commack, NY?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctors near Commack, NY?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor near Commack, NY?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor near Commack, NY?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctors near Commack, NY?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
