Reggie Saldivar, MD - MSK Supportive Care Physician

Description

I am a supportive care physician with expertise in the management of distressing symptoms — including pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue — and other issues related to cancer and its treatment that can negatively affect quality of life. I work closely with my oncology colleagues to ensure high-quality symptom management concurrent with my patients’ treatments. I also provide guidance when discussing goals of care with patients and families. I work as a member of an interdisciplinary team that includes nurses, chaplains, and social workers who all help to coordinate our patients’ care. My goal is to enable my patients to achieve the best quality of life possible regardless of disease stage.
