Our History

The history of Advanced Radiation Centers is strongly rooted in the New York Metropolitan area. More than two decades ago, Radiation Oncologist, Ezriel Diamond, MD, opened his practice in Plainview, New York, in central Long Island. At the time it was the first freestanding Radiation Oncology facility in eastern Nassau County.


Eventually Dr. Diamond was joined by Dr. Shawn Zimberg, also a Radiation Oncologist, and together they grew their practice into what is now known as ARC, Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, with offices in Hauppauge, Plainview and Lake Success on Long Island, Hartsdale in Westchester county and West Nyack in Rockland County. 

 

ARC is the leader in Radiation Oncology technology in the Metropolitan New York region and beyond. It is also the LARGEST freestanding Radiation Oncology practice in New York State, with the radiation oncologists of Advanced Radiation Centers treating more cancer patients than any other freestanding practice or most hospitals in the region. 

 

Our doctors' levels of expertise, experience, and training is unmatched by physicians at any other top facilities in the country. The physicians and staff of ARC are proud to be technology leaders and experienced authorities in the latest radiation techniques.

 

ARC was:

FIRST on the US EAST COAST to deploy RapidArc technology by Varian Medical Systems, the FIRST and ONLY Technology to provide Dynamic IMRT and IGRT Rotational Therapy.

 

FIRST on Long Island and in Rockland county to provide Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)

 

FIRST on Long Island and in Rockland county to adopt Cone-Beam CT technology using an On-Board Imager to delineate soft tissue anatomy to raise the level of accuracy in Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).
