Akash Shah, MD
Radiologist
My Role at MSKWe 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.

The atmosphere of clinical and research excellence at MSK is unparalleled. I work with my clinical colleagues to ensure that patients receive outstanding cancer imaging. This is important for providing accurate diagnoses and tailoring future treatments. Additionally, with a background in healthcare economics, I plan to study how future changes in health policy will affect our patients’ access to quality healthcare and imaging services.
I serve as Director of Radiology at MSK Bergen, our newest regional network facility. When the facility opens in 2018, our focus will be on providing comfortable, convenient, and timely imaging services for our patients. Our radiology team will work closely with our oncology, radiation oncology, and surgical colleagues to optimize and expedite our patients’ clinical care.
A radiologist is a doctor with special training in using imaging to diagnose and treat disease. Imaging includes X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
