Two Connecticut-based medical oncologists at Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA) have been included in the latest edition of the prestigious Castle Connolly Top Doctors list.
The two doctors are:
The Top Doctors directory, one of the most recognizable and trusted resources on the health care market, lists only doctors who are regarded as exemplary by their fellow physicians. Each doctor nominated for the Top Doctors list undergoes a rigorous vetting process before he or she is included.
“RCCA is delighted that these two leading cancer specialists have been so honored,” said Terrill Jordan, RCCA’s president and chief executive officer. “Drs. Kapoor and Silver epitomize the dedication to providing outstanding cancer care that drives all of our oncology specialists day in and day out, year after year, and we feel extremely proud and privileged to work with them.”
Each year Castle Connolly, one of the nation’s most respected health care consulting companies, asks doctors to nominate fellow physicians they feel exemplify dedication to quality care and patient satisfaction for inclusion in the Top Doctors list.
Doctors cannot pay to be on the Top Doctor list, nor are they included based on their geographic location. Each doctor must be nominated and must undergo an exhaustive research, review, and screening process by physician-led research teams before the nominee can be included.
How exclusive is the Top Doctors list? Consider that of the more than 850,000 practicing physicians in the United States, only 7% become Top Doctors.
“To be recognized by your peers as a ‘Top Doctor’ is a great testament to a physician’s expertise and experience,” says Iuliana Shapira, MD, RCCA’s chief medical officer. “I congratulate my RCCA colleagues who have received this well-deserved honor.”
Like the over 100 other oncology physicians in the RCCA network, Drs. Kapoor and Silver are expert at planning precision treatment for each patient and using the latest therapies. And like their colleagues, they administer a healthy dose of compassion to their patients.
“The only recognition that means more to a doctor is that provided by his or her patients, and I’m proud that all of our physicians routinely win high marks from our patients and their families,” Dr. Shapira says. “We’re proud that our cancer specialists take the time to get to know each patient as an individual, address any questions or concerns that the patient and family members may have, and incorporate the patient’s goals, preferences, and quality of life into our treatment plans.
“The selection of so many RCCA cancer specialists as ‘Top Doctors’ and the high patient-satisfaction marks that all of our physicians receive are reflections of that commitment and passion,” Dr. Shapira adds.
RCCA, one of the nation’s largest cancer care networks, operates at more than 24 care centers throughout New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and the Washington, D.C. area. RCCA’s oncology physicians provide immunotherapy, targeted treatment, cell-based therapy and other cutting-edge treatments and diagnostic modalities, as well as access to clinical trials to roughly 26,000 new cancer patients and 245,000 established patients each year. RCCA care centers also provide infusion services for patients with non-oncology conditions — such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and others — who are being treated with intravenously administered medications.

Like many people, Avishek Kumar, MD, scheduled some time away from the office this summer. However, his version of an “island get-away” was hardly the norm.
Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA), one of the nation’s largest networks of oncology specialists, today announced that Hematology Oncology Specialists of Cape Cod (HOSCC) and its three medical oncologists/hematologists will join RCCA.

Regional Cancer Care Associates is one of fewer than 200 medical practices in the country selected to participate in the Oncology Care Model (OCM); a recent Medicare initiative aimed at improving care coordination and access to and quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
