Neha Goel, MD, MPH
We 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.

Get to Know Me
I am a triple board-certified surgical oncologist and surgeon-scientist who specializes in the surgical management of breast cancer and benign breast diseases. I see patients at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center and perform surgery at Memorial Hospital and the Josie Robertson Surgery Center. I work with a multidisciplinary team of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to ensure that our patients get the best possible breast cancer treatment and care.
I value listening to our patients and their loved ones to make them feel comfortable. I take the time to answer questions to help them make informed decisions. I use my specialized surgical training to achieve the best possible results, including cosmetic outcomes through oncoplastic surgery and nipple-sparing mastectomies.
In addition to clinical care, I conduct research on breast cancer disparities. The Goel lab: “ZIP code to Genomic code” is funded by the National Institutes of Health and focuses on understanding how the neighborhoods and environment in which people live impact breast cancer biology and outcomes. The goal is to develop better programs and services that help prevent, detect, and treat cancer so that all patients can achieve health equity and excellent outcomes.
I'm a breast surgeon, which is a doctor with special training in breast surgery.
