Comprehensive Surgical Care for Breast, Endocrine and Soft Tissue

We offer comprehensive multidisciplinary care for patients with breast disease (both benign and cancerous), thyroid and parathyroid disease, melanoma and sarcoma. All our surgeons are fellowship trained in breast surgical oncology, complex surgical oncology or endocrine surgery. This advanced specialized training ensures that our surgeons have a deep level of knowledge and extensive experience in performing surgical procedures for these complex conditions.

As a top academic medical center, we offer advanced care for particularly challenging conditions. Our resources, technology and expertise allow us to treat patients with conditions that other medical institutions consider too difficult to treat.

  • We are consistently recognized among the top three hospitals in metro Los Angeles and the top 10 hospitals in California, according to U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals rankings.
  • We are consistently ranked as a top cancer hospital by U.S. News & World Report.
  • We perform clinical trials and scientific research, giving you access to the latest knowledge and techniques.

Leading-edge Surgery with a Personalized Approach

We take pride in offering leading-edge surgery with a personalized approach. We review treatment options with each patient and provide education and guidance on all possible treatment approaches. Our surgeons work closely with specialists in related disciplines such as medical oncology, radiology, radiation oncology and endocrinology to ensure that we develop a complete care plan designed for every individual’s unique needs. Around 80% of procedures we do are performed with minimally invasive techniques.
