The Breast Center at New York Hospital Queens is the largest provider of breast services in the entire borough, and is dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of women with breast disease. We believe that the most effective breast cancer care is multidisciplinary, taking advantage of the combined expertise of a team of specialists, including surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, plastic surgeons, psychologists and other health care professionals. Working together, we ensure that the needs of every patient are fully met.   Our trained staff also coordinates all appointments and procedures as part of the center's total commitment to patient-centered care.

This skilled medical team is led by Karen S. Karsif, MD, Director. A board certified physician with extensive experience, Dr. Karsif is a highly trained specialist whose compassion is foremost in her care.   In fact, her philosophy is to treat the entire woman, not just the disease. Highly respected by patients and the medical community, Dr. Karsif was honored by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation with the 2002 Gay Clark Stoddard Memorial Award for exceptional medical care.  

At the Breast Center at New York Hospital Queens, we understand the crippling effect that the fear of breast disease can have on women, and we are committed to offering each woman a message of hope for the future.
