Breast Surgery

Dr. Larsen earned his medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco. He completed a general surgery residency at New York Presbyterian-Queens and a fellowship in breast surgical oncology at the Allegheny General Hospital, a large urban facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Similar to many who join this field, the personal experience of having close family members battling breast cancer solidified Dr. Larsen's commitment to serving this patient population. He has worked with diverse populations throughout his career, including time spent in Guatemala and Zimbabwe. 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).

  • "I recently took my mom, who has dementia/Alzheimer’s, to see Dr. Larsen for a consultation regarding her breast cancer diagnosis. From the moment we met him, I was deeply moved by his kindness, professionalism, and compassion. He was truly amazing — not only in his medical expertise, but in the way he approached my mom with such respect and understanding. Dr. Larsen met her exactly where she was mentally, never rushed her, and explained everything in a way she could follow. He maintained her dignity throughout the entire appointment, which meant the world to me as her daughter and caregiver. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines skill, heart, and humanity so seamlessly. I cannot thank him enough for making a difficult moment feel manageable and hopeful. We are truly blessed to be in his care."

      from Katherine 5.0 Stars - (2025-07-10)
  • "Dr. Larsen was incredibly kind and patient. I came to him after having a terrible experience with a previous doctor for a lump in my breast. He explained everything thoroughly and was able to resolve my issue in the same day. He had an amazing bedside manner & made me feel like I mattered. This was such a pleasant experience with a doctor, and I unfortunately had never experienced that before. I can’t thank him enough!"
