We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

I am a medical oncologist devoted to caring for people with lung cancer, as well as bringing novel immunotherapy strategies to patients with solid tumors. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team including radiation oncology, thoracic surgery, pulmonology, and pathology, among others, to identify a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s case and circumstances. We also lead many clinical trials, which are open to patients who are interested and eligible.
We know that receiving a diagnosis of cancer is daunting. My team and I are committed to supporting each patient and their family through their experience with cancer and will work together to provide them with the highest level of care. From our initial visit onward, we are here for our patients and will spend as much time as needed to ensure that everyone understands and is in agreement with the care plan.
My research focuses on using innovative strategies to harness a person’s own immune system to treat cancer. I am a member of the Cellular Therapeutics Center, where I design and lead early phase clinical trials that use genetically engineered versions of a patient’s immune cells as living drugs to fight their cancer. I work closely with the scientists who pioneered these techniques to bring cutting-edge approaches to difficult-to-treat tumors.
My team and I are committed to supporting each patient and their family through their experience with cancer and will work together to provide them with the highest level of care.
