Shrujal Baxi, MD, MPH
Head and Neck Medical 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
- Physician Consultant
I am a board-certified medical oncologist specializing in treatment of cancers of the thyroid and of the head and neck.
I see patients at MSK Westchester, where we are able to provide the wide range of services — including clinical trials — that our patients need in a location that is often closer to their homes.

I understand that receiving a diagnosis of thyroid or head and neck cancer is overwhelming. Pursuing treatment for cancer can pose physical, psychological, and financial challenges. For this reason, taking the time to educate my patients and discuss their options is important to me. I strive to provide my patients with care that is compassionate, personalized, and based on the most recent medical advances. I also have a particular interest in learning from each patient’s experience to help the oncology field understand how to best manage cancer by using all available information.
I am thrilled to care for patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), where I trained and established a successful head and neck oncology practice. I was also previously involved in research to improve care delivery for patients living beyond cancer, as well as the education and training of future generations of oncologists.
I believe that along with improving cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, research can also improve care delivery to help patients live longer and better lives. Technology enables us to learn faster and bring better care to more patients, faster. I am excited that MSK is at the forefront of this healthcare revolution.
A head and neck medical oncologist is a cancer doctor who specializes in head and neck cancers. This includes cancers of the larynx, lips, mouth, nose, salivary glands, and throat.
