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.

Please note that this doctor’s office for adult patients has recently moved. All adult patient appointments are now taking place at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion at 160 East 53rd Street in Manhattan. Pediatric appointments continue to be held at Main Campus.
I am a board-certified ophthalmologist with specialty training in ophthalmic oncology. Ophthalmic oncologists are ophthalmologists who specialize in diagnosing and treating cancer on the surface of the eye, in the eye, and in the tissues around the eye (the lid and orbit). I have a joint appointment in the Departments of Surgery, Pediatrics, and Radiation Oncology.
I am also Chief of the Ophthalmic Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). This is the only service dedicated to ophthalmic oncology in a cancer hospital in the United States. Because of our close association with specialists in pediatrics, genetics, interventional radiology, radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology, and medicine, we are able to offer coordinated, state-of-the-art care. Our patients have access to novel therapies and clinical trials not available anywhere else in the country.

Ophthalmic cancers are rare. They are usually diagnosed without performing a biopsy, so experience is very important in getting the correct diagnosis every time. At MSK, we use the latest diagnostic digital imaging and ultrasound tools. These include standardized A and B scans, high-frequency anterior segment ultrasound (also called ultrasound biomicroscopy), and optical coherence tomography.
The most common primary ophthalmic cancer affecting adults is melanoma in the eye. This is also known as uveal melanoma or ocular melanoma. We offer sophisticated diagnostic and treatment options for this cancer. These include brachytherapy (sealed radioactive material that’s surgically placed directly onto the eye) with radioactive iodine, proton beam radiation, and surgery. Our medical physicists and brachytherapy team are internationally respected for their expertise in delivering customized treatments for each patient. In collaboration with MSK’s melanoma team, we offer clinical trials for melanoma of the eye that has spread to another part of the body. Finally, a drug has been approved for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (Tabentafusp), and our hospital pioneered trials that led to the FDA approval in 2022.
As a member of the MSK Kids team, I treat patients with a pediatric eye tumor called retinoblastoma. Dating back to 1914, our retinoblastoma center is the longest continually operating center of its kind in the world. We have the longest follow-up of the largest number of patients. We have a modern examination suite dedicated to the care of children with retinoblastoma. It features all the latest equipment needed to diagnose and treat retinoblastoma in the most effective way possible.
I have introduced many new treatments for retinoblastoma that have been adopted by other cancer hospitals. In 2006, we pioneered the use of high-concentration, low-dose chemotherapy (also called ophthalmic artery chemosurgery or intra-arterial chemotherapy). This approach uses a catheter (thin, flexible tube) the size of angel hair pasta that is placed in the groin to deliver chemotherapy through the blood vessels of the stomach, chest, and neck directly into the blood vessel of the eye. Just a few drops of the chemotherapy have the power to cure the cancer while retaining the vision and health of the eye. In the past, we removed one or both eyes in 95 percent of children with retinoblastoma, but now, we can avoid removing the eye 95 percent of the time.
MSK has the most experience with this technique in the world, and we have since taught it to doctors around the globe. Our studies on the long-term complications of retinoblastoma have been published extensively in the Journal of the American Medical Association, as well as in eye disease and cancer journals.
Altogether, high-concentration, low-dose chemotherapy is the most significant treatment advance in the field of retinoblastoma, and most of the patients who see me come to me for it. I take the time to answer patients’ questions about this treatment strategy, which requires the use of anesthesia but can be given on an outpatient basis.
MSK is also the only cancer care institution in the world that is using cell-free DNA from blood to aid in the diagnosis and management of retinoblastoma in and outside of the eye. Using MSK-ACCESS® (which stands for “Analysis of Circulating cfDNA to Evaluate Somatic Status”), a noninvasive liquid biopsy test developed at MSK, we can not only understand the genetic makeup of a patient’s cancer, but also understand whether a patient’s tumor is active. This tool offers a painless and precise method to determine if treatment for retinoblastoma is working.
Additionally, we are the first to use high-dose intravitreal topotecan, a chemotherapy that is well-tolerated by the eye, for the treatment of metastatic retinoblastoma. This approach is astonishingly effective and comes with no ocular toxicity.
I have published more than 800 books, chapters, original articles, scientific reviews, audiotapes, and videotapes, and I was the editor of the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s instruction book on ophthalmic oncology. I have delivered more than 500 lectures worldwide, including those in France, Italy, England, Switzerland, Israel, China, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Africa, and India.
Among the many honors I have received are awards from the Swiss Society of Ophthalmology, the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, the Helen Keller Services for the Blind, and the New York State Ophthalmological Society. I have received many teaching awards. I have also received the Honor Award, the Senior Honor Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Outside of MSK, I have served as First Marshal (President) of my Harvard College class for more than 50 years. Following my induction as First Marshal in 1990, I have gone on to help plan the commencement ceremonies while representing my class at a variety of Harvard events. In 1995, I had the honor of escorting theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking when he received his honorary degree at Harvard. I wrote about the experience in an article titled “Saving Stephen Hawking,” that was published in HARVARD Magazine in 2018.
