    Dr. Amod Sarnaik is a surgical oncologist in the Department of Cutaneous Oncology, the Immunology Program and the Melanoma Center of Excellence at Moffitt Cancer Center.  In addition, Dr. Sarnaik holds an appointment of associate professor of oncology and surgery at the University of South Florida.Dr. Sarnaik's primary research interest involves investigation of novel immunotherapeutic treatments for melanoma.  This includes tumor-based vaccines, immune-activating antibodies, targeted inhibition of oncogenic proteins and autologous T-cell therapy. His clinical interests focus on the surgical treatment of melanoma and other cutaneous-based skin cancers, sentinel lymph node biopsy techniques, and minimizing surgically-related morbidities.Dr. Sarnaik received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and his medical degree from the University of Michigan School of Medicine.  He completed postgraduate training at the University of Cincinnati, OH, where he served two residencies in surgery and was chief resident. He also completed a Howard Hughes investigational postdoctoral fellowship in molecular genetics, and in 2009 Dr. Sarnaik completed a surgical oncology fellowship at Moffitt Cancer Center. His research has been published in a number of professional medical journals.

  • Patient Comments

    Overall Satisfaction

    4.9

    317 patients rated this provider

    The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

    Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

    Comments

    Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

    We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.

    Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.

    Learn more about our patient comments

    Provider Ratings and comments are gathered from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. If a provider does not have ratings or comments listed it can be for several reasons, including:

    • The provider has not yet received the minimum number of patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display. We require a minimum of 30 surveys before we post results to ensure that the rating is statistically reliable and a true reflection of patient satisfaction.
    • He or she may be a researcher or other type of provider that does not see patients.
    • The provider practices in a specialty or office that does not use the specified surveys currently used for these ratings.
