From my personal treatment experience, I know that Dr. Gerard Fumo is absolutely top tier in the Practice of Hematology Oncology. Considering his wealth of knowledge along with the care and compassion he delivers to his patients, truly every day I appreciate and know without a doubt that I am receiving the best possible care for my diagnosis. He absolutely includes me in all aspects of care and treatment. I am naturally curious about details in my ongoing care and treatment including all of the hows, whats, and whys of the status of my body's health. Dr. Fumo is wonderfully patient with my questions and concerns. He always takes the time for explanations. I have 1000% confidence in Dr. Fumo and, of course, recommend him fully and without reservation. He has been my Hero!

My doctor did a wonderful job explaining test results tome. He personally pulled up past radiology pictures & the current scan & carefully compared the 2 views, side by side, explaining what he was seeing & checking for. The results ruled out my greatest fears & the doctor reassured me that the further testing already scheduled would not be necessary. His cheerful greeting is comforting & his explaining details is thorough, serious yet calming. He listened to & addressed all my questions. A top notch doctor, Highest marks.

Awesome. He was very positive and knowledgeable regarding my lymphoma. He and his staff were very friendly and considerate of my anxiety. They all made me feel comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, his office or Midstate. They all made this terrifying experience easier on me, my husband and my family.

I saw Dr Fumo today. First time in about 9-10 years. Not only did he remember me, he remembered my prior case which is still in remission. Dr Fumo has the most integrity and compassion of any doctor I have met in the past 50+ years. I had a primary care doc like this in the early 90's it's a shame he went into research.
