Recommended Doctor
Mark David ADELSON MD
Oncology (Cancer) - New York Syracuse

I had a complete hysterectomy done laporoscopically by Dr. Adelson at Crouse Hospital. I went home the same day as surgery with little to no pain or bleeding. The nurses at Crouse were terrific and all recommended Dr. Adelson highly. He is an excellent surgeon and did a marvelous job.

Dr. Adelson is very empathetic. My mom has ovarian LMS, and I developed tumors in my uterus. My "specialist" ob/gyn ignored my concerns. My mom and her oncologist suggested that I be aggressive with treatment as I was also having symptoms. Dr. Adelson was the first provider that actually took the time to listen to my symptoms, history and concerns. I had a complete vaginal hysterectomy on 12/10/08, and am awaiting the pathology results.. Dr. Adelson is one of the best in his field, and was recommended to me by my mom and her oncologist.

I highly recommend Dr. Adelson! He was able to figure out what was going on with after being in the hospital for over a week, because no one else had a clue. Not only did he figure it out, but he helped to fix it! He has a wonderful bedside manner and is very informative. Also, he thinks "out of the box" when it comes to pain management and HRT. He's a blessing in this field!

After years of being thrown to doctor after doctor, having test after test run to find out what was going on with me I was finally referred by my OB to Dr. Adelson in 2002. He had a hunch what was going on, did a lap to confirm and removed the Endo that had put me in pain for so many years. 10 months later it came back and he went in and removed it. After having my 3rd child and having horrible menstral cycles I went back yet again to figure out a plan. With my medical history we decided to go ahead with the Hysto. I have to say it was one of the best medical decsions I could have made. I feel 100% better. He actually listens to what you have to say and works with you on treatment options. It is not a case of what he wants to do. It is a desicion based on years of knowledge, expierence and what is best. I would never change doctors. It is worth the wait to see such an Amazing Doc!

Bedside manner - not the warmest or fuzziest - but he admits that up front. He has a wealth of knowledge on the subject of hysterectomy and made me feel confident in my decision to use him - he was also recommended to me by another Syracuse surgeon - simply saying, he's the best in his field.

I started going to him 6 yrs ago. I was distraut, untrustful, and questioned everything a doctor did. I was a basket case physically and emotionally. We were ending 4 yrs of fertility treatments and medical whirlwind.
He worked with me on both levels and let me feel like I had a measure of control over my treatments. He talked to me, explained things, and most of all listened.
He did my hysterectomy. His words when I finally agreed after 5 years of his yearly suggesting it - getting told NO - and trying more medications - was I see YOU are ready.
He did not pressure me. He always answers my questions and concerns. Most of all he talks TO ME - not at me or over me.
He is great !!

He is a gynecological oncologist. He performed two laparoscopic surgeries on me to remove ovarian cysts and scar tissue. He came highly recommended by my gynecologist and fellow patients of his. Before my surgeries, he was very thorough in his testing to anticipate any problems. Both procedures went just as planned. His staff worked to get my surgery moved up when I was having discomfort, which I greatly appreciated. Also, they called me 3 days after my surgery to check on me. Highly recommend!
