Melissa Slyper, MD

As an oncology hospitalist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care that treats each patient as a whole person. I find it most rewarding to support my patients through their cancer journey, ensuring they receive comprehensive and empathetic care.

I specialize in managing complications and issues related to oncologic diagnoses and treatments. Collaborating closely with oncologists from the Perlmutter Cancer Center, I aim to optimize care and support for patients facing the complexities of cancer. My role allows me to address a wide range of medical conditions, ensuring each patient receives tailored and effective treatment.

With extensive experience in internal medicine, I bring a unique set of skills to my specialty. My training at North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center has equipped me to handle complex medical situations. I am committed to proactive healthcare engagement, continuously seeking ways to improve patient outcomes through collaboration and innovative care strategies.

My journey into medicine began with a desire to make a meaningful impact on people's lives, combining science, compassion, and problem-solving. I earned my medical degree from the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, where I also completed my residency in internal medicine. As a Long Island native, I am honored to care for patients in the community where I was raised, bringing a personal touch to my professional practice.
