IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK
An office designed to heal
If these walls could talk they would tell stories of triumph from the many cancer survivors that walked through the door of Surgical Oncologist Dr. Dwight De Risi's office.
Dr. De Risi was practicing out of his office at 1010 Northern Blvd. in Great Neck for decades. Dr. De Risi focuses on breast cancer and has cured thousands of patients throughout his 40+ years of practicing in Great Neck.
The office was designed by his daughter Dara with "De Risi Designs", but it was ultimately decorated by all of the various lions, angels, artwork and other presents given to him by his dedicated patients. It also contained a very special lion fountain where people could make a wish for good health.
Although, Dr. De Risi no longer works at 1010 Northern Blvd., it is memorialized with the virtual tour, video, and photos shown on this website, with the goal that it continues to bring others HOPE!

The words of real survivors
"Every gift Dr. De Risi received he displayed for all to see and admire. These gifts spread hope for all who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer because they are a visual representation of all who have been helped. He is a real super hero and should be wearing a cape over his scrubs" ~ J.C.
"All of Dr. De Risi's gifts told me that I am in the hands of a very loved physician. My reason for being here is terrifying, but I must be in good hands knowing all those who came before me have shown him such gratitude." ~ M.T.
"When I first went to Dr. De Risi I thought I was in a toy store, it was so amazing and I could only think that even if I received bad news it was a great place that would offer me comfort." ~ M.B.
