Nisha Varadarajan, MD
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.

Get to Know Me
I am a board-certified dermatologist who practices general and surgical dermatology. I have special training in oncodermatology, which is the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. These arise due to side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and radiation therapy.
I also manage general skin conditions while people are receiving cancer treatment. I have a special interest in inpatient dermatology due to my training in internal medicine. This means that I see patients for any skin problems while they are admitted for treatment at the hospital.
I am board-certified in both internal medicine and dermatology which gives me a complete approach to diagnosis and treatment. My goal is to provide expert care and to help guide people in making decisions about managing and treating their conditions.
I see patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Basking Ridge in New Jersey and at Memorial Hospital in New York City.
I'm a dermatologist, which is a doctor with special training in skin, hair, and nails.
