Alix Youngblood, MD
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.

Get to Know Me
I’m a hospitalist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). This means that I’m a doctor who cares for people while they are admitted to Memorial Hospital, the main hospital at MSK.
My patients include people who have cancer or blood disorders and need immediate medical attention. This could be because of cancer or side effects from cancer treatment.
I work closely with your cancer care and intensive care teams to make sure you get the best possible care. I also lead and help train our junior doctors and medical staff in the hospital.
Additionally, I’m part of the Supportive Care Service where I provide palliative care for patients. In this role, I help patients manage pain and other symptoms of serious illness so they feel more comfortable.
Together, we will focus on what matters most to you, making sure your comfort, your dignity, and your goals come first.
I'm a hospitalist, which is a doctor with special training in caring for people in the hospital.

Disclosures
Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.
MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
