Michelle Steffers, MD
Hospitalist
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.

Over the last decade, I have focused primarily on the acute medical needs of people facing behavioral and psychiatric challenges. At the University of Rochester Medical Center, where I held a dual appointment in the medicine and psychiatry departments, I was heavily involved in curriculum development. I devised a team-based, multidisciplinary approach to facilitate inpatient care, which I incorporate as hospitalist at MSK.
My medical training began at MSK. I met my husband here and New York City is where I started a family. The level of commitment and dedication of MSK clinicians has resonated with me throughout my career and is a large reason why I have decided to return as a hospitalist. I am first and foremost a doctor. I value each and every patient I care for and value being at an institution where this sentiment is felt universally.
In addition, I am a serious classical pianist. I started playing when I was five years old and have attended the Juilliard and Eastman schools of music. I continue to study and perform both as soloist and in collaboration with vocalists and instrumentalists. My musical development and expression is an integral component of my personal and professional identity. I am very interested in the intersectionality between medicine and the humanities, not just between music and medicine.
A hospitalist is a doctor with special training in caring for people in the hospital.
