David Faleck, MD - MSK Gastroenterologist

I am a board-certified medical oncologist with clinical and research interests in the field of gastrointestinal malignancies. My clinical practice includes care of patients with gastrointestinal cancers, neuroendocrine tumors, and cancers of unknown primary site. I am an attending physician on the Gastrointestinal Oncology Service, which I was privileged to lead as Chief from 1991 to 2011. I also serve on Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Research Council, which oversees our clinical research portfolio, among other committees.

I am a board-certified surgeon with advanced training in minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy and robotic surgery). I am dedicated to applying my technical expertise and clinical interests primarily to patients with stomach (gastric) cancer and adrenal tumors.

Memorial Sloan Kettering gastroenterologist Makoto Nishimura specializes in using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques to diagnosis and treat gastrointestinal cancers. He has particular expertise in performing endoscopic submucosal dissections (ESD).
