My wife just had an amazing experience with Dr. Caruana . He just completed a course of treatment for her as she was having an issue with her parathyroid. His demeanor was more calming and confident for a very nervous patient. He was clear and understanding of the issue and course of treatment and provided a great outcome. Some NYC doctors may have an aura about them with lots of hoops that have to be jumped through before you actually get to see the doctor. Dr. Caruana was the exact opposite, no fanfare, approachable and affable. He came to get us from the nurses station, walked us back the treatment room, then to his scheduling nurse to ensure we made that connection face to face. Just a humble, caring doctor. More MD's should be like Dr. Caruana

Had a parotid surgery .For most people this surgery must be performed by a very skilled surgeon. Dr Caruana did not disappoint. He is compassionate caring and a very skilled surgeon. I have seen other surgery scars from this procedure and nothing compares to the results I got from his skilled hands. There is no scar. I am most grateful. A million thanks!!!!

From the moment I met Dr. Caruana and his NP Anne I was met with the utmost diligence and compassion. If I could have Dr. C take the lead on all my medical issues I would gratefully in a heartbeat. His is knowledgeable and humble and is willing to leave no stone unturned in ensuring you get the best care.
I am grateful that my path lead here, and that I was able to have my care completed by Dr. Caruana. If you are considering him as a doctor you will have no regrets!

Saved me from an unnecessary biopsy that had been scheduled by Sloan Kettering! Can't ask for better than that. Kind and compassionate.

Kind of egotistical - doesn't want to hear that you don't feel well after surgery and worse that the surgery didn't work. Reaction "go to pain management."

Dr Caruana is kind and professional. Took the time to explain everything to me. After suffering for severel years from chronic sinusitis, loss of smell, impaired ability to breathe and sleep, I am now feeling better than I have in years. It's now been two weeks after a very successful surgery and I couldn't be more grateful I found him.
