    “Dr. Dana Tarcatu is one of the most caring and compassionate physicians I have met thus far in my career. As a medical oncologist, I am faced with the task of seeing many terminal patients. Dr. Tarcatu has worked closely with many of my patients to ensure that their transition towards the last stages of life is dignified and humane. She goes above the call of duty, answering her patients' queries after hours and on holidays. Her dedication to her job is obvious to all that work with her, and I am proud to say that I have had the opportunity to collaborate with her.”

    “I had the pleasure of recruiting and working with Dana during our time together at VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care. Dana is a talented, hard working and self-motivated physician. She has a strong work ethic that is essential in the modern healthcare environment. She has a strong foundation in evidence based Palliative Medicine, and challenges herself and others to stay current. I would certainly hire her again if the opportunity presented itself.”
