Boris A. Mueller, MD, MPH
Radiation Oncologist
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.

About Me
- Director, Radiation Oncology, MSK Bergen
I am a radiation oncologist who cares for patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Bergen. Our team approach allows my colleagues and me to deliver state-of-the-art care close to home.
I see about 400 patients each year, and have been working at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center since I finished my residency training there in 2003.

I love working with patients in an institution where patient care, medical research, and cutting-edge technology intersect. I have a degree in electrical engineering and worked as an engineer before attending medical school at Johns Hopkins University. I was attracted to a field that was heavily dependent on technology but also involved a great deal of patient contact. Radiation oncology proved to be a great fit.
It’s an inspiring time in our field. Thanks to new advances, we can now use stereotactic radiation therapy to deliver highly precise doses of radiation that destroy tumors and spare healthy tissue. I have been involved in research on improving the quality of cancer care through telemedicine, which allows doctors to diagnose and treat disease remotely.
My research has more recently focused on implementing tattooless radiotherapy at MSKCC for breast cancer, prostate cancer, and spine tumors. With the use of a new optical monitoring system (AlignRT) on our radiation machines, we will soon be able to treat patients without relying on tattoos. An additional research interest of mine is learning how to reduce the risk of radiation-associated secondary cancers.
All patients are nervous during their first appointment — that’s normal. I work very hard with our nursing staff to make a strong personal connection with everyone I meet. Once a patient is under my care, I will always be there for them, even many years later.
A radiation oncologist is a cancer doctor with special training in using radiation therapy (RT) to treat cancer with radiation.
