Samantha L. Heller, MD, PhD

As a breast radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My work is driven by the belief that early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial tools against breast cancer. I am privileged to collaborate with a team of outstanding colleagues who share my commitment to improving breast cancer detection and patient outcomes.

I am currently a professor of radiology in the Breast Imaging section at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where I also serve as the section head of breast imaging. Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in research aimed at enhancing breast imaging techniques and outcomes. My work has taken me across the globe, including several years as a breast radiologist in the United Kingdom, before I joined NYU Langone as faculty in 2015. My research interests include screening outcomes and utilization and improving the specificity of breast imaging with the goal of improving patient care.

My journey into medicine began with a deep-seated desire to make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. As part of NYU Langone, I am committed to providing coordinated and seamless care, ensuring that my patients receive the best possible treatment and support.
