Moshe Shike, MD
Gastroenterologist & Internist
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.

Being a gastroenterologist at MSK allows me to develop close relationships with my patients and deliver hands-on care, while also engaging in research and keeping up-to-date with the latest innovations and findings. I’m motivated by challenging diagnoses and helping people get back to their health and well-being.
We have made great strides in preventing cancer and detecting it early; this has saved lives and reduced suffering. I aim to use all the tools and knowledge available to us to help people prevent cancer, in addition to continuing to research new ways and means to do so.
Through many clinical studies I have examined screening for colorectal cancer and the role that diet and specific dietary factors play in the development of cancer.
My research also includes studies on ways to best provide nutrition support to people with cancer who are unable to eat adequately. Through our research we developed methods of nutrition support which enable people to maintain a good nutrition state in spite of not being unable to eat for years.
With fellow gastroenterologist Sidney Winawer I wrote the book Cancer Free: The Comprehensive Cancer Prevention Program. I am also the author of more than 120 research papers.
A gastroenterologist (GAS-troh-EN-teh-RAH-loh-jist) is a doctor with special training in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. This includes the esophagus, intestines, stomach, bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas.
An internist is a doctor with special training in many conditions that affect organs, including the heart, kidney, liver, and lungs.
