Jay Shi, MD, PhD
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.
Areas of Expertise
My Specialties
- Anatomic pathology
Get to Know Me
I’m a board-certified anatomic pathologist. I help diagnose diseases by studying tissue samples under a microscope. I have special training in diseases of the digestive system, which includes:
- Stomach and intestines (gastrointestinal)
- Liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts (hepatobiliary)
- Pancreas
My research focuses on liver cancer, bile duct cancer, and colorectal cancer. My goal is to find specific changes in the cancer’s DNA that can be treated with targeted therapies. These are a type of cancer treatment that precisely target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone.
I'm a pathologist, which is a doctor who uses a microscope to make a diagnosis from cell and tissue samples. I analyze these samples to learn the cause and effects of a health issue.
