Get to Know Me

I am a medical oncologist and hematologist who specializes in caring for people with blood cancers who are undergoing blood or bone marrow stem cell transplantation or who are receiving cellular therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. I have a particular interest in lymphoma and multiple myeloma

My clinical research has primarily focused on improving outcomes for patients by introducing new approaches to help reduce the side effects and toxicity associated with stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies. I also study ways to personalize the chemotherapy or immunotherapy that we give to patients prior to stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies to help reduce side effects and improve treatment outcomes.

As a member of the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Service and the Cellular Therapy Service, I am part of a multidisciplinary team of expert doctors and consultants. I am fortunate to share my practice with talented and dedicated nurses, advanced practice providers, nurse coordinators, social workers, and case managers who help me provide cohesive support and comprehensive treatment. Most importantly, I am committed to delivering compassionate, personal care. I aim to provide balance and clarity during an often stressful and complex journey for patients and their families.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a bone marrow transplant specialist, which is a doctor with special training in bone marrow transplants.

A cellular therapy specialist is a doctor with special training in using cell therapies to treat health conditions such as cancer. Therapies can include chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy.

Everyone was helpful and caring

Dr. Scordo is one of the best physicians I have ever worked with


Jun 24, 2025

Forgive me I was nervous that morning because this was all new to me therefore II can't remember if Ms.Xu was a nurse practitioner or a doctor, but doctor/NP Xu was fantastic. She explained everything that I needed to know and answered every question that I have written down in ways that I could easily understand. Dr.. Scordo was excellent. He provided all of the information that was necessary and explained all treatments and procedures. In ways that I can understand and also spoke to my daughter who was listening and via telephone. My anxiety related to fear of the unknown has gone. I feel very safe under his care..

All staff, doctors, nurses, all medical staff even the cleaners and administration are professional and I receive top notch care. I'm blessed. Thank you.
