Jinesh Shah
, M.D.
Dr. Jinesh N. Shah is a board-certified radiation oncologist with decades of experience in the field of oncology. He practices at Advanced Radiation Centers (ARC) of New York, serving in the leadership position of Clinical Director and providing expert cutting-edge care to patients in the Bronx East and Bronx West facilities.
Dr. Shah earned his Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Neuroscience from Harvard University, graduating summa cum laude and being elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He then received his Medical Doctorate from Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. He completed his residency training in radiation oncology at Columbia University Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident.
Dr. Shah has held prestigious academic positions, including serving as an attending physician and assistant professor at Columbia University and NYU Medical Centers. He also served as Associate Director of the radiation oncology training program at Columbia University, teaching the next generation of radiation oncologists. He then went on to develop his own comprehensive private practice at Ocean Radiation Oncology, while also serving as Assistant Clinical Professor of Radiation Oncology at Columbia University Medical Center.
At ARC, Dr. Shah specializes in the treatment of prostate and breast cancers, utilizing the latest and most advanced radiation techniques including Image-Guided Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiation Therapy (IG-VMAT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). He serves on the national Solaris Prostate Cancer Committee and the local IMP Advanced Prostate Cancer Committee, using his recognized expertise to develop patient care standards for implementation at the national and local levels.
Dr. Shah also spearheads radiation oncology quality maintenance and improvement programs at ARC. He was additionally a member of the team that secured FDA approval of the BioProtect balloon rectal spacer device that has helped revolutionize rectal protection during prostate cancer radiotherapy. Due to his recognized leadership in oncology, he has been invited to serve on numerous Advisory Boards to guide industry leaders in the development and roll-out of cancer therapeutics.
Dr. Shah is wholeheartedly committed to providing his patients with individualized care using state-of-the-art treatment techniques and technologies, all while ensuring his patients always feel emotionally supported during their healing process. His energy, sense of humor, and compassion make his patients feel at ease while they receive the best radiation oncology care available.
