Michael S. Samuel, M.D.

Michael S. Samuel, M.D. keeps cancer care directly within reach on the Upper East Side. Oncology sits right next to the hospitals and research towers, making referrals and second opinions less of a trek. Nearby clinics and labs often hand off follow-up scans and biopsies to this office, so patients can cut back on back-and-forth treks. Standard services here include digital imaging, chemotherapy coordination, and routine restroom facilities.

Starr Pavilion is one of those quiet office blocks tucked off York Avenue, far enough from the main street that the lobby moves at its own pace. Starbucks is on the ground floor, so caffeine refills come in short order before an afternoon infusion. Weekly pathology conferences happen just two floors up, so slides and results circulate before patients leave the same building. Testing and staging scans are pre-scheduled in the mornings when the elevators are less crowded.
