Cesar J. Figueroa Ortiz, MD - MSK Infectious Diseases Specialist

I am a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. I am board certified in Infectious Diseases and Internal Medicine and provide care for patients suffering from a wide array of infections that develop during cancer treatment and in people who have weakened immune systems. Some of my clinical interests include establishing prevention and management strategies for infections caused by pathogens that are resistant to common antimicrobials, as well as developing strategies to improve the accuracy and speed of the diagnosis of infections.
