Get to Know Me

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in the care of patients with genitourinary cancers, which include:

I see patients at the Sidney Kimmel Center for Prostate and Urologic Cancers in New York City and Memorial Sloan Kettering Bergen in New Jersey. I prioritize open communication, compassion, and personalized treatment plans that consider not only clinical aspects of care, but also the emotional and personal factors affecting patients. I ensure that patients understand all the treatment options available to them, which may include hormonal therapies, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, surgery, or a combination of approaches. My goal is to remove the fear, uncertainty, and confusion surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of genitourinary cancers.

In addition to clinical practice, I have an interest in improving delivery of healthcare, enhancing patient access to care, and ensuring that quality standards are met across all aspects of oncology treatment. I strive to make oncology care more effective, accessible, and patient-centered.

The EPIC system for scheduling is horrendous. You could really do with improving that. Thank you. Goodbye.

Dr Wynter was wonderful- great communicator, very knowledgeable, very reassuring.

Mar 7, 2025

Yes, there's a way, there's something that needs to be improved. They're making appointments without calling me first and asking me if I have the time available. And I, you know, I've been having to drive an hour and a half away to get there and I have to take off from work and I have patients of my own to see. So nobody's communicating by phone. Everything's online. If I don't get to my email, I don't even know I have an appointment. And also, the appointments, we had made a bargain that the appointments would be after 12 o'clock on Fridays and they kept mixing up that schedule. I was confused and frustrated and, you know, finally it got straightened out but then it got messed up again. So I don't know if that's lack of communication, a new system or whatever, but it was not okay with me. I waited eight hours to get my chemo one of the days because I was supposed to check in and nobody told me to check in at the chemo place. They told me just the front door. And I sat there for five hours before they realized I was sitting there.

Dr Wynter was great!! The rest of the care team was also. I'm sorry to hear Dr Wynter will going to another facility.
