Maria Clara Fernandes, MD, MSc
Radiologist
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 Radiologist
I am a diagnostic radiologist specializing in abdominal and oncologic imaging. Through training in both diagnostic imaging and oncology nuclear medicine, I have developed expertise in modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and positron emission tomography (PET).
As a member of the colorectal, gastroesophageal, and hepatopancreatobiliary disease management teams at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I collaborate with fellow physicians across specialties to provide personalized care of the highest caliber to our patients.

I am highly committed to patient care and am actively engaged in research, with the aim of making meaningful research contributions to the oncology scientific community. My research primarily focuses on CT and MRI imaging of colorectal, gastric, esophageal, hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic cancers. Additionally, I am involved in teaching and mentoring medical students, residents, and fellows; this, to me, is a very gratifying two-way street of learning and sharing knowledge and experiences. I am very honored to work at a world-class institution that strives to provide the best care to each of our patients.
A radiologist is a doctor with special training in using imaging to diagnose and treat disease. Imaging includes X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Doctors and faculty members 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.
