Opening in 1988, North Shore Radiation Therapy was the first free-standing radiation therapy center on Long Island.  In 2008 we expanded our practice to a new state-of-the science center in Greenlawn, New York.  Recognizing the need to offer the best technology and treatment, we added the Cyberknife Radiosurgery System in 2009.  This allowed for the opening of Cyberknife of Long Island.  With four nationally recognized and board certified Radiation Oncologists, dedicated and talented Management and Clinicians, we are thought leaders in our field. With lectures and publications internationally in peer reviewed journals, we have the experience and technology to make a difference.

We are also proud to hold the distinction of an elite group of centers that are fully accredited by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO).

In 1988 North Shore Radiation Therapy of Smithtown (formally known as North Shore Medical Accelerator) was opened and is the leader in radiation medicine in Suffolk County. We are fully certified by the American College of Radiation Oncology.  All of our physicians are board certified.  Our staff of nurses, therapists, physicists and business personnel comprise a unique group of dedicated individuals, hand picked for their expertise in dealing with serious illness. We preserve an environment where the patient can maintain their self-esteem and dignity during treatment.

In 2008 North Shore Radiation Therapy of Huntington opened it's doors to unveil a state-of-the-art radiation treatment facility in the township of Huntington, where we provide the most technologically advanced cancer treatment available on Long Island, New York.  This facility features a Varian Linear Accelerator with Rapid Arc that will allow physicians the ability to target tumors more accurately and adjust patients’ positioning prior to treatment, thus improving the precision and effectiveness of cancer treatments.

In 2009 CyberKnife of Long Island opened in Suffolk County.  This addition to our cancer treatment arsenal shows our commitment to providing the most advanced cancer treatment available on Long Island.
