Rayan Rammal , MD
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 board-certified anatomic pathologist with special training in surgical pathology for cancer, primarily the genitourinary system.
I am part of the diagnosis team and my role involves evaluating biopsies and surgical resections from the prostate, kidney, bladder, testis, and adrenal gland. Based on these evaluations, I help ensure accurate and timely diagnoses for cancer.
My research is focused on rare and aggressive bladder cancers, with additional interests in testicular neoplasms and mesenchymal tumors of the genitourinary tract.
Through translational research and the development of innovative diagnostic approaches, I aim to advance the understanding and management of genitourinary cancers. I also have an active interest in tumors of the head and neck and the endocrine system.
I'm a pathologist, which is a doctor who uses a microscope to make a diagnosis from cell and tissue samples. I analyze these samples to learn the cause and effects of a health issue.
