Devika Rao - MSK Gastrointestinal Oncologist

Highly professional, competent and compassionate! MSK raises the bar in cancer care. If cancer strikes you or a loved one, this is where you want to be and who you want to have taking care of you.

Was thrilled with her thoroughness and the fact that she contacted my surgeon from Jersey Shore (out side of Sloan) to discuss my case with them to get a complete picture. Plus she followed up with a phone call too me with the results of their meeting.

There are countless positive words to describe Dr Rao, but the immediate ones that come to the forefront are: compassionate, caring, patient, conscientious, dedicated and intelligent. She is a devoted doctor who truly treats the whole patient and makes her patients and their families feel seen and heard. We are embarking on a rather scary series of treatments but feel most grateful to have Dr Rao in charge. She epitomizes true dedication in a doctor.

Dr. Rao and my entire care team saved my life while helping me to feel calm and well cared for all the while! Highest level of compassion and competency combined.

Dr.Rao was orchestrating my father’s care at MSKCC monmouth. Receiving a cancer diagnosis of a loved one is beyond scary and Dr.Raos compassion and patience is unmatched. She never made our questions or concerns feel irrelevant. She always explained things in a simple and practical way yet always remained hopeful with us. She is truly a gifted physician not only with her knowledge but with her bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Rao!
