Mark Melrose, DO, FACEP
Emergency Medicine Physician
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
The Urgent Care Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is the hospital’s Emergency Department (ED) for our established patients who experience side effects or complications related to cancer and its treatment and require immediate medical attention.
As an experienced board-certified expert in emergency medicine, I have spent most of my 30-plus years in practice in clinical leadership roles across academic, community, and public hospital EDs. Working at MSK, where I provide care exclusively to patients with cancer who develop any variety of unexpected illnesses, is challenging and rewarding; it has given me a new perspective on what it means to be grateful and resilient in today’s complex world.

Outside of work, I like to be active. I completed the New York City Triathlon five times and enjoy playing competitive ice hockey at Chelsea Piers and surfing around the world. My son loves playing baseball and basketball and is a fan of the Mets and the Knicks. My wife and I love watching him grow as an athlete; it’s the best thing ever. We spend our family vacations at the beach. I try to never be boring, cheap, or a coward.
An emergency medicine physician is a doctor with special training in treating people in the emergency room.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
