Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Professional and informative
Dr. Slater took his time explaining things to me in a way that was easy to understand. When dealing with genetics and oncology things can be so complicated but I left the office feeling more knowledgable about my condition.

I almost never bother writing these but I feel compelled to highlight how exceptional Dr. Slater was in his care. He spent well over an hour with me reviewing my family history, concerns, and equipped me with a lot of knowledge on how preventative medicine is really the key with anyone, particularly those with predispositions for cancer and other poor health outcomes. He was thorough, compassionate, and I did not feel rushed at all. He utilized visual aids and explained things in understandable words. I look forward to meeting him again.

Very smart about his work and very professional
DR Slater saw me 1 time sent me for tests and had me in chemo in 2 weeks he is very professional and a wonderful person and great bedside manner I would recommend him to every one. his staff is amazing they take care of you like family. I highly recommend eastern ct hematology. Because they are the most professional and courteous and caring around. I know I'm Roy Saluk and im being treated for non Hodgkins fellicular lymphoma and I would go no where else but to Dr Slaters office and staff

He is excellent. Up-to-date on evidence-based oncology. I suspect the poor review was from some patient without real pathology.

I have seen Dr. Slater a few times in a matter of years. He has always been polite, a gentleman, very, very knowledgable man. He even went over my file after my last visit, and ordered some more tests. I would highly recommend him for any blood disorder.

Dr. Slater was horribly rude, upsetting experience. I am 81 years old and after suffering a kidney stone, I got a blood clot in the hospital. I've been so ill and didn't want to leave home but I went to Stater &he made me wait 2.5 hours! I was shaking and weak and I didn't even think I was going to make it in the 1st place so it was unbearable. Then he tells me i've been in the ER x times, & I've had x number of scans and DON'T i know i have IBS?! I was confused & weak and he berated me! AWFUL
