    Raymond Kwok, DO, an oncologist at Staten Island University Hospital, treats patients with all types of cancer, but specializes in brain tumors and head, neck and lung cancers. After attending medical school at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York City, he came to Staten Island University Hospital for both his residency and a fellowship.Dr. Kwok was drawn to medicine by the problem-solving nature of the work. Being a doctor involves using subtle clues to formulate diagnoses and design treatment plans, he says. An early career job as a research assistant at a cancer biobank further sparked his interest in the field. Observing the complexity of cancer biology firsthand fueled my fascination with oncology and set a strong research foundation that I continue to build upon. Losing his grandmother to leukemia also deeply affected him, and he shifted his focus pathology to a patient-centered role in hematology and oncology. I wanted to honor her memory, says Dr. Kwok.Dr. Kwok's approach to care is based on the latest evidence-based medicine, compassionate communication, and a strong emphasis on patient education. I find deep fulfillment in guiding patients through complex and often life-altering diagnoses with compassion and support. I want to ensure that they fully understand their diagnosis and treatment options, and I take the time to listen and involve them in the decision-making process. My goal is to be a caring and informed partner in their cancer journey.Likewise, Dr. Kwok's team of radiologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists emphasizes close collaboration and open communication, which ensures that every detail from diagnosis to treatment management is addressed with empathy and precision.In addition to his work in the hospital, Dr. Kwok has been involved in several community service initiatives for underserved populations, including health fairs and free screening events in Harlem, New York. This work is close to my heart, as it allows me to support preventive healthcare and expand access to medical services.Whether speaking with community members or treating patients in the hospital, Dr. Kwok credits these interactions with teaching him the importance of resilience, presence, empathy, and the need to listen. I have seen how each person faces a cancer diagnosis differently some with courage and optimism, others with understandable fear and uncertainty. These experiences have shown me that medical care is not only about providing the best treatment but also about honoring each patient's unique story and needs. Dr. Kwok is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Prostate Cancer. His clinical expertise encompasses Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Melanoma, Breast Cancer, and Multiple Myeloma. Dr. Kwok is board certified in American Board Of Internal Medicine, American Board Of Internal Medicine/Hematology, and American Board Of Internal Medicine/Medical Oncology.

    What is the definition of Prostate Cancer?

    Prostate cancer is cancer that starts in the prostate gland. The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped structure that makes up part of a man's reproductive system. It wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.

    When should I see a Prostate Cancer doctor near Staten Island, 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 Prostate Cancer doctor near Staten Island, 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 Prostate Cancer doctors near Staten Island, 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 Prostate Cancer doctors near Staten Island, 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 Prostate Cancer doctor near Staten Island, 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 Prostate Cancer doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Prostate Cancer 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 Prostate Cancer doctor near Staten Island, 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 Prostate Cancer 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 Prostate Cancer 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 Prostate Cancer doctors near Staten Island, NY?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Prostate Cancer 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 Prostate Cancer doctor that offers video calls?

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