Really enjoyed my visit, everyone was kind and transparent (which I especially appreciated). Dr. Dhliwayo was kind, knowledgeable, and really helped me understand the path ahead, which I actually don't think many doctors do. This made me feel safe, comfortable, and in a collaborative environment. She answered all my questions with openness and patience. Very happy to have found her.

Dr. Dhliwayo was absolutely amazing. Not only is she super friendly and kind, but she is so knowledgeable about all things related to hematology. I traveled two hours for my appointment from Westchester and it was worth the trip. Highly recommend!

The doctor was friendly and prepared. She reviewed my entire chart before she saw me and had blood work drawn before she saw me as well. I was totally amazed. I love her.
October 13, 2025Michael B.Verified patient
Dr. Nyembezi Dhliwayo is an outstanding!
Her bedside manner is exceptional — she listens carefully, takes her time, and genuinely wants to understand the full picture, not just the symptoms. She asked detailed questions about my health history, and made me feel completely comfortable sharing my story.
What stood out most is that she focuses on finding the root cause, not just treating numbers on a lab report. She gave helpful suggestions, clear feedback, and even recommended other specialists to ensure we get to the bottom of what’s really going on.
I left my appointment feeling heard, supported, and hopeful. Highly recommend Dr. Dhliwayo to anyone looking for a Dr who truly cares about your health and takes a careful approach to your care.
