“I wanted to specialize in oncology because it is an opportunity to combine state-of-the-art medical care with the empathy and compassion that are central to truly helping people… and that you and your loved ones deserve. Through my 10+ years as a cancer specialist, there have been significant changes in oncology, and now I’m able to offer better treatments with fewer side effects. The product of these changes, for me, is the fulfillment that comes with seeing more and more patients cured of their cancer or living longer, higher-quality lives with the people they love.”

  • "2 years ago after have my Left kidney removed and with cancer extended to my lung my situation was really in a positive point. I started to see Dr Sameer Desai and started treatment of immune therapy and chemotherapy, my cancer was on stage 4. Soon I started my treatment I became confident and never have any doubt because Dr Sammer and his assistant Salma Haj-Ibrahim are very professional and I always fill the compassionate care. Also I was for my immune therapy under the care of Barbara and Dina and every time they have a positive attitude. My experience with Astera Cancer Care was very positive and today I'm not longer receiving immune therapy but still under Dr Sameer care. I want to say to all the Astera Cancer Care on Monroe NJ personnel thanks for your dedication and service.I'm well and filling healthy. Sincerely: Carlos Rufino."
