He is bilingual, fluent in English and Spanish, and is excited to return to New York City to join NYCBS and provide the highest level of care to its diverse and unique community. Dr. Larsen has specific training with nerve preservation and resensation at the time of breast surgery. Dr. Larsen has experience with several localizing techniques and oncoplastic closures for partial mastectomies. In addition, he performs both electrocautery and tumescence-based mastectomies. He enjoys learning new languages and has traveled to 20 countries (and counting).

Patient Reviews

  • "Dr.. Larsen is a warm, friendly, caring and skilled oncologist surgeon. I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time back in August of 2024 who became my mom's surgeon. She fell in love with him immediately so it was no surprise how comfortable she felt when it was time to have the surgery. I on the other hand was relieved and please that the surgery was successful. This is all due to the expertise and experience of his profession. So during her recent visit on September 11th, 2025 she was also happy to know that her 6 months follow up went well and she can return back to her home town on St. John United States Virgin Island in good spirits."
