Staff Bios
FH Gynecologic Oncology Centre – Hysterectomy Team Bios
At Florida Hospital Cancer Institute, we know that the best possible outcome for each of our patients is based on many factors, including the aptitude and expertise of our physicians. However, the careful selection of our renowned staff is based not only on depth of knowledge and ability to excel in surgery, sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual needs of our patients is also a critical criterion.
Through stringent guidelines, we have assembled a world-class staff who specialize in patient care, cancer treatment, innovative research and highly advanced procedures, such as robotic surgery. We are proud to publish our Hysterectomy Team bios:
