About Me

I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained surgical oncologist with more than 20 years of experience in treating cancer patients. I am excited to return to practice in the greater Lehigh Valley. I previously practiced at the Pocono Medical Center for six years before joining Crozer-Keystone Health System and now, St. Luke’s. I treat cancers of all types, including thyroid, parathyroid, sarcoma, melanoma, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric and liver cancer. I not only have clinical experience in caring for cancer patients, I also have extensive cancer research experience in studying breast cancer biology. 

My work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals including Cancer Research, Cytometry, European Journal of Cancer and the International Journal of Oncology.  I have presented at numerous cancer symposiums including the American Association for Cancer Research and the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

I received my medical degree from Tver State Medical Academy in Russia. I completed a general surgery residency at Drexel University College of Medicine and went on to a fellowship in surgical oncology at Fox Chase Cancer Center.

I am fluent in Russian. I will see oncology patients in Monroe County at the Stroud Building, located at 208 Lifeline Road in Stroudsburg, as well as St. Luke’s Anderson Campus in Easton.

In my spare time, I enjoy soccer, hiking, gardening and swimming.

I am thrilled that I was referred to Dr. LAREEF after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He has been wonderful from day one. He is definitely concerned that I receive the best care possible!

10/14/2024
Dr was through and explain everything before hand. I would recommend him to my friends.

10/12/2024
I was blindsided with diagnosis of breast cancer. Dr Lareef and his nurses and receptionist were extremely kind and sympathetic. Dr Lareef made me feel confident that he would take excellent care of me and give me the very best treatment and care for meand he did so!!!

09/30/2024
I was a bit leery about having a male doctor treating my breast cancer, but Dr. Lareef put me right at ease. He explained everything, answered all my questions, ordered tests, set up a follow-through appointment in Quakertown, which made things easier for me.

09/15/2024
The care team with MOHAMED T LAREEF, MD got me in within 2 days of a breast cancer diagnosis and already scheduled me for surgery! I am blown away by the kindness, promptness and overall concern for my well-being. I am grateful to have this type of care so close to home. I would normally travel to UPENN. I feel comfortable, relieved and ready to GO!

MOHAMED T LAREEF, MD and Staff were exceptional, and the doctor shook my hand upon entering room & actually sat down and had a conversation about my health issues!! Everyone very empathetic and actually seemed to care about me!

I think Dr Lareef is the best. He's kind and explains everything in simple terms. Dr Lareef removed a cancerous tumor from my pectoral muscle in 2022 and as far as I'm concerned he saved my life and I can't thank him and the StLuke medical teams enough.

08/10/2024
A was nervous but MOHAMED T LAREEF, MD and everyone was so nice

07/26/2024
It was my first visit with MOHAMED T LAREEF, MD and I was terrified about what was going to happen and what my options were going to be. They all took the time to explain my options and gave me time to process the information without forcing me to make a decision with no time to think about it.

07/25/2024
I really like Dr. Lareef and everyone in his office. They make me feel safe and less scared about what I am going through.

07/20/2024
I am impressed with the level of care, follow-up, respect, and courtesy given me. I also really like that everyone, from the nurse navigators right down to the front desk people, know their jobs and hold my hand and lead me every step of the way. Every doctor I needed appointments with, or tests I had to take, called ME. I've been very happy with the level of care I've received thus far.

My visit with Dr.Lareef was a series of follow up visits after my annual mammogram showed the need to have a lumpectomy/ This visit was to prepare me for that surgery. Dr. Lareef explained what was involved with the surgery and assured me that I was in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. He was true to his word and the surgery went well. I am so happy that he is now a member of my health care team. He is a wonderful, caring provider.
