“In my 35-year career, I’ve have treated over 20,000 patients. Throughout this time, I’ve enjoyed the challenge and opportunity to blend human compassion with the tangible realities of new scientific discoveries. I believe that medicine is a personal calling; a calling in which, as stated by Dr. William Osler (the famous teacher and first professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins) ‘One uses the heart as much as the head.’ I’ve kept these words with me as a mantra and have made it my personal goal to always practice with compassion and humanism. With hope, with inspiration, and with determination, it is my goal to guide you through your cancer journey for the best outcome possible.”

  • "I came to Dr. Nissenblatt in 1986. I had gone to several other oncologist who could not help me. I was lucky enough to be in touch with Dr. Nissenblatt who at the time was not taking other patients but agreed to look at my my test results. After he looked them over, he immediately called me and asked me to come in. He personally took me to ROBT WOOD JOHNSON HOSPITAL and for the next 35 years he took care of me and here I am. At age 86 overcoming numerous cancer episodes because Of Dr. Nissenblatt expertise."
