Leuk Woldeyohannes, MD, MPH
Internist
My Role at MSKWe 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.

About Me
I am an internist who, as a nocturnist (a provider who works at night in the hospital), treats numerous conditions that would lead patients to be admitted to the hospital, including infections, pain, and side effects from medications. I see patients with all types of cancer who come to Memorial Hospital for assistance with acute medical issues (problems that come on suddenly, require urgent care, and usually resolve afterward).

Some cancer treatments can cause immunosuppression, a reduction in the body’s ability to fight infection that can leave patients susceptible to complications from cancer and other diseases. As such, hospitalization is usually a vulnerable time for patients.
Because I am usually one of the first providers to assess hospitalized patients and initiate treatment, I feel one of the most important aspects of care — in addition to appropriate evaluation and management of the medical condition — is providing comfort and reassurance to patients. I am committed to being honest, transparent, and informative while advancing patients’ care.
Providing patient care requires the ability to understand and respect patients’ different backgrounds, cultures, and opinions. To that end, one of my passions is trying to increase diversity in the fields of medicine and science. Over the years, I have been involved in several mentorship and outreach projects working towards this goal. I plan to continue taking on similar projects here at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
An internist is a doctor with special training in many conditions that affect organs, including the heart, kidney, liver, and lungs.
