Yale Surgical Oncology
At Yale Surgical Oncology, we believe the hands that operate on you should also hold your story. Our board-certified surgical oncologists combine the latest minimally invasive techniques with the kind of personal attention that turns a frightening experience into a journey with a clear path forward.
About Us
Yale Surgical Oncology was founded on a conviction that cancer surgery demands more than technical skill — it requires a surgeon who sees the whole person. Located in the heart of New Haven at 20 Park Street, our practice draws on the world-renowned resources of Yale Medicine while maintaining the intimate, unhurried consultations that help patients understand their options and feel confident in their decisions.
Every procedure we perform is grounded in the latest evidence and the latest technology. Every patient we see is treated with the same level of care and attention we would want for our own families. That is not just our philosophy — it is our standard.
Our Services
We offer a full spectrum of cancer surgery services, from initial diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, always with an emphasis on the least invasive approach that offers the best outcome.
Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures that reduce scarring, pain, and recovery time while maintaining the same oncologic standards as open surgery.
From lumpectomy to mastectomy and reconstructive options, we guide you through every decision with clarity, compassion, and a focus on preserving your quality of life.
Mohs surgery and excisional procedures for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, with meticulous attention to cosmetic outcome and complete cancer removal.
Specialized surgical management of soft tissue sarcomas, often in coordination with medical and radiation oncology to deliver a comprehensive treatment plan.
Surgical treatment of thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal cancers with nerve-sparing techniques and a track record of excellent functional outcomes.
A thorough second-opinion or initial consultation where we review your imaging, pathology, and overall health to recommend the most appropriate surgical approach.
Our Approach
We have designed a clear, supportive pathway from your first call to your final follow-up — because uncertainty is one of the hardest parts of a cancer diagnosis, and we are determined to remove as much of it as we can.
We begin with a comprehensive review of your diagnosis, imaging, and pathology. Every option is discussed openly, so you enter treatment with full understanding and confidence.
Your procedure is performed using the most appropriate technique — whether open, laparoscopic, or robotic — with the goal of complete cancer removal and the smallest possible recovery footprint.
Recovery is monitored closely with regular check-ins, wound care guidance, and coordination with any ongoing medical or radiation oncology treatment you may need.
We remain your surgical partner through survivorship, with scheduled follow-ups and a direct line to our office whenever questions or concerns arise.
Patient Stories
I walked in frightened and unsure. By the time I left my first appointment, I actually felt hopeful. The team took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand, and they never made me feel like I was in a rush. That meant more than I can say.
The minimally invasive approach made all the difference in my recovery. I was back on my feet in days, not weeks. I appreciate that the surgeons treated me like a person first and a diagnosis second.
After my first consultation, I knew I was in the right hands. The level of expertise was evident, but it was the genuine warmth and patience that set this practice apart. They answered every question, no matter how small.
