Dr. Yue F. Kwok
Overview
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.
