Lavanya Mittal, MD
Dermatologist
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
- Assistant Attending Physician
I am a board-certified dermatologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), specializing in supportive oncodermatology. In this role, I care for patients suffering from a range of skin conditions due to their cancer treatments which may include chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, as well as targeted therapies. I have additional training in rheumatologic dermatology and inpatient dermatology.
I primarily see patients admitted to Memorial Hospital and in the clinics at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at MSK. Once a week, I also see patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Basking Ridge in New Jersey. My goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care that addresses both the physical challenges of cancer treatment and the emotional well-being of my patients. I am dedicated to creating personalized treatment approaches tailored to the specific needs of each patient.

In both the clinic and hospital settings, I collaborate closely with oncologists and a team of dedicated healthcare professionals to deliver integrated and multidisciplinary care. Our efforts are focused on relieving skin problems, allowing patients to continue their cancer therapy with minimal disruption.
