Peter S. Hersh

I am a board-certified optometrist with advanced training in ocular (eye) disease management. I am passionate about eye care and clinical research. As an optometrist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), my goal is to provide optimal vision and eye comfort for individuals receiving treatment for cancer. I provide ophthalmic services to patients admitted to Memorial Hospital and also see patients at Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion in New York City.
