There will be a lot of different opinions about the "best" centers. If you go into the "Physicians" area of this website and enter <NYC> as a search term, you will see a number of past discussions about doctors and treatment centers in the New York City area.

doogan,

For CK centers, try going to www.accuray.com to find centers in the areas of interest to you.

I do know, that for GK, Dr. Noren in Providence RI is one of the tops around....

Hope that helps.

Doogan, I know JoeF would be a terrific resource for the CT area (try sending him a PM)... as for New England, I know Noren is tops for GK... I had my CK at Beth Israel in Boston (currently, the only one in New England but I have very reliable sources telling me the Brigham/Woman's has a CK on a purchase requisition).  As for NYC, I know there are threads here noting some in the NYC area. You can try the "Search" option for NYC.
