Sandy Nath, MD
Emergency Medicine Physician
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
- Associate Attending Physician
I have been interested in the field of oncology since my childhood, when I watched my grandmother convalesce in our home after being diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. My entry into medicine was somewhat nontraditional and followed a stint in physical therapy and finance. I joined Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in 2017, where I have provided emergency care to patients with cancer ever since.

Many patients who develop an acute condition are concerned that it means that their cancer has worsened. As an urgent care physician in MSK’s Urgent Care Center, I take the time to thoroughly investigate why they presented with the acute illness. When the cause is benign, I am thrilled to share it with my patient. If it is more complex, I explain why and outline the next steps with empathy and compassion. Overall, I aim to treat each patient not only as if they were a member of my own family, but also how I would like to be treated if roles were reversed.
I am involved in research on immunotherapy and its side effects; this is an important subfield of emergency oncology care. I also study safe strategies for the management of cancer-related illnesses in the outpatient setting and previously published research comparing the oversight of patients with cancer and COVID-19 in the outpatient setting versus in the hospital.
In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, swimming locally at Brighton Beach and hiking Breakneck Ridge. When I have the opportunity to travel, I enjoy exploring the arctic latitudes. I previously completed a 100-mile trek in the Arctic Circle in Greenland and experienced the northern lights at 40 degrees below zero in Alaska.
