“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.”

  • "There are no words to describe Dr. Nissenblatt. If you want to feel like just another patient, just a number, and just a face in the crowd, DONT come see him because he will make you feel like you are his family, genuinely care for your welfare and make it his mission to get to know you like it’s his job so he can treat you the best way possible so you can LIVE your life. He is a blessing."

  • "This message is for Dr. Nissenblatt. I wish to thank you so very much for squeezing me in to see you on July 31st. Your directing me to Dr. Sandy M. was thoughtful and he sought to help me as soon as possible. He gave me a shot of prednisone, followed with cream for the affected areas of my skin. He was kind and sympathetic ~~ just as you are. I thank you for your expertise. And I, for one, am lucky to have you as a doctor who goes the extra mile. I see Dr. M tomorrow morning. He’ll take the wrappings away from my legs and hopefully the skin will look better. Again, thank you for your kindness. It’s so appreciated. ~~ Gloria Crum"
