The breast surgeons in the Division of Breast Surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center are nationally recognized experts with extensive experience in every type of breast cancer surgery. Your breast surgeon tailors your operation to your specific needs, working with you to choose the optimal approach based on the stage, size, location, and biology of your tumor, as well as your personal preferences, breast size, and other factors.

We take an “oncoplastic” approach to achieve a good cosmetic outcome. We also understand that the prospect of breast surgery can mean fear and uncertainty. Our goal is to reduce your fear and replace it with knowledge and compassion, while providing you with outstanding care designed to help you achieve the best outcomes possible.

Members of a Coordinated Team

Many women with breast cancer require other forms of therapy as part of their care. If you need chemotherapy (before or after breast surgery), hormonal therapy, or radiation therapy, your breast surgeon works closely with other members of the Hackensack University Medical Center breast team—including medical oncologists and radiation oncologists at John Theurer Cancer Center—who provide those treatments to ensure your care is continuous and communication is seamless.
