J. Joshua Smith, MD, PhD, FACS - MSK Colorectal Surgeon

Surgeons in this specialty carve scopes through more than flesh—they thread years of bench research into live operations. J. Joshua Smith, MD, PhD, FACS anchors a tight orbit around oncologic colorectal surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Upper East Side campus. Expect a brisk frontline roster of advanced resections, sphincter-sparing techniques, robotic-assisted procedures, and in situ ablation when anatomy permits. Multidisciplinary tumor boards weigh every case, and surveillance protocols run on calendar precision rather than proximity. Even after a major operation there’s often a straight line to adjuvant therapy within the same building network, smoothing the next leg of care.

Park yourself at 1275 York Ave, New York, NY 10065 and dial (347) 798-9066 to check availability. The building’s northern rim sits sandwiched between FDR Drive traffic and the quiet ascents of Carl Schurz Park, where morning joggers trade hipsters for herons along the East River esplanade.
