Klaus Buzzi, DABR

Klaus Buzzi joined USMD in 2006 and, for the last two years, has served as President of the USMD Cancer Treatment Centers Division. By developing a business model that focuses on implementing meaningful clinical technology, the Cancer Center program has enjoyed spectacular growth.

Mr. Buzzi’s background is in medical physics where he has gained board certification in all three medical physics specialties.  He spent the first four years of his career at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, followed by 14 years of service as the Director of Physics, at the Nassau County Medical Center, where he was privileged to assist Dr. John Archembeau in his research on early proton treatments and boron neutron capture activities at the Brookhaven National Laboratories.  From 1986 to 1993, he revitalized the Biomedical Physics Program at the King Faisal Specialist in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, serving as Chairman of the Biomedical Physics program for the last three years. Mr. Buzzi established the first Secondary Standards Dosimetry Lab in the Middle East and restarted a number of dormant programs, such as the fast neutron treatment facility, as well as introducing new technology, such as PET and spectroscopic MRI. In recent years, Mr. Buzzi’s interest has progressed to the business application of his medical physics expertise.

Mr. Buzzi is one of only 25 physicists in the country to be triple-certified in Nuclear Physics, Diagnostic Radiological Physics, and Therapeutic Radiological Physics.  He received his Undergraduate Degree in Biology at St. Francis College in New York and went on to earn a Graduate Degree in Physics from Hunter College, CUNY in New York.
