About Me
Dr. Alex Jenny Ky is a Professor of Surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. A graduate of Brown University and SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine, Dr. Ky completed a General Surgery residency at Lenox Hill Hospital and a Colon and Rectal Surgery fellowship at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Dr. Ky is an expert in robotic colon and rectal surgery, performing complex procedures that few other doctors in the world are able to perform. She is the first person in New York City to use a sacral nerve stimulator and one of the few people in New York City treating fecal incontinence. She has held a course teaching other physicians in pelvic floor disorders for the last 9 years Dr. Ky is specially trained in minimally invasive surgery with transrectal extraction and anastomosis which leaves the patient with almost no abdominal incisions. She also specializes in transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM), a technique which allows some rectal tumors low in the rectum to be removed through the anus, possibly avoiding the need for a permanent stoma and abdominal surgery.
As the Medical Director of our Chinatown practice, Dr. Ky oversees a multidisciplinary healthcare practice providing expert medical care in Chinatown. Providing the highest quality of care to the community is Dr. Ky’s top priority.
Dr. Ky is also a member of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, Chinese American Medical Society, and the Chinese American Independent Practice Association, to name a few. She is also fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Ky-Miyasaka has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
