Meet MSK Medical Oncologist Ryan Sugarman
Ryan Sugarman, MD
Gastrointestinal Oncologist
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
- Medical Site Director, MSK Nassau
- Medical Director, Strategic Partnerships
At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I work with a multidisciplinary team to offer my patients the highest quality oncology care. I pursued a career in medical oncology because it is a noble field where I have the rewarding experience of caring for people with cancer.
It is my belief that better patient outcomes can be achieved through research and clinical trials. Whenever appropriate, I discuss the option of relevant clinical trials with my patients. My academic interest is the management of tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.
A gastrointestinal (GAS-troh-EN-teh-RAH-loh-jist) oncologist is a cancer doctor with special training in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. This includes anal, colorectal, esophageal, gastric (stomach), liver, and pancreatic cancers, as well as GI stromal tumors and neuroendocrine tumors.

Disclosures
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.
