“There is nothing more important than empowering a patient with the knowledge to make the right decisions for her health.”

Susan Marie Palleschi, MD, FACS

Dr. Susan Palleschi leads with compassion when it comes to supporting women with breast cancer. She is a board-certified surgeon who has over two decades of expertise in breast surgery, including oncology techniques such as breast conservation surgery, nipple sparing and skin sparing mastectomy, and sentinel node biopsy. She also takes special interest in patients with a genetic predisposition to breast cancer. She sees patients for the evaluation and treatment of benign breast diseases and also takes a special interest in patients with a genetic predisposition to breast cancer.

Dr. Palleschi believes that knowledge is power. She works to equip her patients with a comprehensive understanding of their diagnosis and options and provides detailed explanations of what they can expect every step of the way. She strives to be available to meet patient needs whenever they arise and offers each woman her undivided attention at each visit from initial consultation and into survivorship.

A breast surgeon specialist for more than 20 years, Dr. Palleschi prioritizes excellent patient care, strong collegiate relationships, and opportunities for ongoing professional growth—she is committed to never stop learning.
