Paul Romesser, MD

At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, we believe in taking a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach (care involving experts across medical specialties) to cancer care. Working closely with surgical and medical oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists, I ensure that my patients receive the best care possible. I take great pride in the expertise of the team supporting my patients. I want my patients to feel assured that they are in the hands of a dedicated group of experts throughout their journey.

Patient education is of the utmost importance to me. I understand the significance of understanding your diagnosis and treatment options, and I will take the time to explain the role of radiation therapy in your overall treatment plan. My compassionate approach aims to address any concerns or questions you may have while empowering you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about your care.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am actively involved in groundbreaking research and clinical trials in cancer care. Sometimes, a new therapy or treatment method available in a clinical trial offers the best chance for cure. Patients who decide that a clinical trial is right for them have the opportunity to access cutting-edge treatments and contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge. I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of radiation oncology and believe that through research, we can uncover innovative solutions that will benefit patients like you.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients and community. I volunteer on the board of the HPV Alliance and The Anal Cancer Foundation — two organizations dedicated to providing education and support for people with cancer. When I’m not working, I cherish the precious moments spent with my loving family and our dog, Easton.

I want you to feel reassured that when you visit my office, you are not just another patient, but someone who will receive personalized care and advocacy. Your journey towards healing is my top priority, and I am here to guide you every step of the way. With empathy, expertise, and unwavering support, I am dedicated to helping you work through the challenges of rectal and anal cancer while instilling hope and inspiring you to embrace the future with optimism. Together, we will conquer cancer and embark on a path to restored health and well-being.
