Stephen M. Pastores, MD, MACP, FCCP, FCCM
Intensivist
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.

In addition to my administrative, clinical, and research activities at MSK, I am actively involved in critical care medicine at a national level, having served as a member and past Chancellor of the American College of Critical Care Medicine of the Society of Critical Care Medicine and presently, a member of the editorial boards of Critical Care Medicine and Journal of Critical Care.
