Gabriel Jung, MD, is a hematologist and medical oncologist at Northwell Health, as well as an assistant professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.He earned his medical degree at Albany Medical College, followed by residency and a fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center. In 2009 Dr. Jung joined Queens Medical Associates, which became part of Northwell in 2020.The practice provides culturally sensitive and cutting-edge care for patients in the borough, and the connection with Northwell gives them a community-focused practice with considerable resources. Physicians and staff represent fluency in over 30 languages, an important part of making patients feel at ease.Dr. Jung, who came to the United States from South Korea at age 10 in 1986, is fluent in Korean and has a personal connection with the immigrant experience. "As an immigrant myself, I noticed that many in the immigrant population lacked access to medical care, or were uncomfortable due to a language barrier," he notes. "That was my motivation to become a physician, so I could help people in diverse communities and provide really meaningful care. I wanted to be with these patients through the whole process, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond."He chose medical oncology because of the exciting breakthroughs in the specialty. Cancer care seemed to be progressing at a fast pace, and Dr. Jung wanted to bring that science to patients. He's particularly focused on gastrointestinal oncology, since those cancers are more prevalent in Asian populations, but he sees a variety of oncological patients. He has been named a top doctor by Castle Connolly and one of the city's "Super Doctors" for several years.Joining Northwell gives him and other oncologists in the practice greater access to more comprehensive cancer care, he says. Patients may also be candidates for clinical trials, which Dr. Jung says is important to close gaps in healthcare and treatment access for underserved patients."Now, our patients have the doctors they've seen for years, but also this breadth of specialists, from palliative care to surgeons to physical therapists, as well as potential clinical trial involvement," he adds. "I'm extremely grateful to be able to practice in this community, where there's such enormous need, and together with Northwell, we can meet those needs for everyone."

I enjoy when I go to work and see patients who came to me five, 10, 15, 20 years ago, and they're still around and they're still okay, Dr. Fulman says. It's really special.

Jane Cho, MD, MPH, is a urologist and physician director of ultrasound at Northwell Health. Though she joined Northwell in 2016, her connection goes back further; her mother is a longtime nurse practitioner here.Because of my mother, I grew up around medicine, and Ive always wanted to do something of service to help people, she says. Initially, she was headed toward pediatrics or primary care, but a surgical rotation when she was a student at New York Medical College changed that trajectory. I just fell in love with urology, that seemed like the perfect fit for me.During her urology residency at University of California Irvine and fellowship at Indiana University Hospitals School of Medicine, she narrowed that focus to urologic oncology, which Dr. Cho appreciates for its ability to bring together numerous aspects of care, including innovative procedures like robotic surgery and meaningful patient relationships.In urology, you establish long-term connections with patients, and become part of their lives, she says. One thing I pride myself on is being able to clearly explain to each patient whats happening, counseling them on what their diagnosis means and what type of treatments are available. Communication and education are a big part of patient care. Dr. Cho is fluent in both Korean and Spanish in addition to English.Adding to her emphasis on patient care, Dr. Cho is an assistant professor of urology at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. As associate program director for the residency program, she dedicates time each week to interacting with residents and medical students, to educate the next generation of urology specialists. She also serves on the physician council on diversity, work that is geared toward addressing the needs of the diverse patient population of New York City. Dr. Cho is a member of the tumor board at Northwell. The board includes numerous professionals such as medical oncologists and radiation oncologists who meet to discuss cases in an atmosphere of shared decision making. The emphasis is always on collaboration and relationships, which applies to bringing specialists together for patients, and also to building connections with patients in a way that best serves them, she says.
