  • Patient-centered: Our patients’ needs come first. We listen to you.
  • Compassionate: We sincerely care about you, and work to demonstrate that care at all levels within our practice.
  • Multidisciplinary: We individualize your care through the use of multidisciplinary teams of gynecologic oncologists and other medical experts such as radiation oncologists, pathologists, diagnostic radiologists, pain and palliative care physicians, oncology nurses, and social workers.
  • Excellence: We believe that life-long learning and teaching are inseparable, and that through education all are served – especially our patients.
  • Leading edge: We offer carefully chosen and monitored regional and national research trials, as medically appropriate, to ensure patient access to leading-edge therapies.

Recent developments: Four of our physicians are credentialed on the da Vinci Robotic surgery system, one of only a few Robotic surgery options in the country. In additions, our physicians teach the robotic surgery method to other physicians through their yearly class in gynecologic oncology minimally-invasive surgery. Learn more about this less invasive system and if it might be for your treatment. More
