Scott Millman, MD, PhD
Leukemia Specialist
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
- Assistant Attending Physician
I am a medical oncologist specializing in the treatment of acute and chronic leukemias. I care for patients who are admitted to Memorial Hospital, in Manhattan. Additionally, I am a member of the Sloan Kettering Institute and MSK Cancer Biology & Genetics Program, where I conduct research to better understand and develop novel therapies for acute leukemias.

During my training as a physician-scientist, I benefited greatly from exposure to the exciting discoveries and breakthroughs that emerged in the cancer research field over the past decade. It is my goal to continue these efforts in the laboratory, specifically conducting research on the metabolism of blood cancer cells to develop new and better treatments for our patients. Our ambition is that these new approaches can quickly advance to clinical trials here at MSK.
A diagnosis of leukemia or the start of a new treatment can be a very challenging time for a patient and their family. When in the hospital, I strive to make sure that our treatment team — a dedicated group of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and support staff — is providing the best care possible. To me, that means not only delivering the highest quality medical treatment, but also removing some of the uncertainty from the process. I aim to review the rationales, logistics, and expectations for our therapies with each patient I meet. My hope is that the more effectively we communicate, the better experience our patients will have.
A leukemia specialist is a doctor with special training in diagnosing and treating leukemia.

My research uses genetics-based approaches to identify vulnerabilities related to the unique metabolism of blood cancer cells. It is through these efforts that I hope to advance novel therapeutic agents for clinical development.
