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.

I am a pathologist with expertise in surgical pathology, molecular pathology, and clinical cytogenetics.

As a surgical pathologist, my particular expertise is bone and soft tissue (musculoskeletal) pathology. I work very closely with my clinical colleagues — including surgeons, radiologists, and medical oncologists. This collaboration has given me an in-depth understanding of clinical situations and has provided me the opportunity to participate as a team member with my clinical colleagues. I am an Invited Member of the International Skeletal Society — an organization of radiologists, pathologists, and surgeons who meet yearly to discuss rare and unusual presentations of the various bone and soft tissue neoplasms. I am also interested in teaching, and am a course co-director for orthopedic pathology at meetings of the U.S. and Canadian Academy of Pathology.
I am also a molecular pathologist with board certification in molecular genetic pathology, which allows me to keep abreast of latest developments in the fast-growing field of molecular oncology. As an invited member of the Molecular Oncology Committee of the College of American Pathologists, I serve as the committee member for the sarcoma sub-division and provide expertise on test development and appropriate molecular testing for sarcoma patients.
Clinical cytogenetics, in which I am also board certified, is a field where one studies chromosomal changes to interpret and provide pathological diagnostic correlations. My research involves exploring prognostic markers in bone and soft tissue neoplasms. For example, we have studied expression of markers with therapeutic significance, such as the EGFR family of tyrosine kinases in synovial sarcomas and osteosarcomas.

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.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
