Highland Medical Doctor Brings Multicultural Cancer Care To Rockland County

NYACK, N.Y. -- During cancer diagnosis and treatment, effective communication and planning is key. However, mapping a plan of action can be difficult when patients speak a different language than doctors and staff. Thanks to Dr. Sung Ho Lee, a board-certified physician in medical oncology and hematology at Highland Medical P.C. and Nyack Hospital, both native and foreign speakers are receiving the comprehensive care they deserve, in a familiar tongue.

Thanks to his multicultural background, Dr. Sung Ho Lee is able to treat patients from all walks of life at Highland Medical P.C. and Nyack Hospital.
