Ruth Oratz is Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at New York University School of Medicine and the founder and director of the Women’s Oncology and Wellness Practice.

Patient treatment is individualized, including access to clinical trials, genetic counseling and testing, patient education and integration of cancer care with overall health and wellness. The practice also addresses patients’ concerns about family, career, relationships and sexuality. Ruth serves on advisory boards of several organizations that support women with breast cancer and their families, including breastcancer.org, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, CancerCare, Sharsheret, and the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network of New York.
