“ When it comes to breast
cancer, we treat the person —
not just the disease.”
NAME: CHRISTINE HODYL, DO, FACS, board-certifi ed surgeon
and graduate of New York College of Osteopathic Medicine
OCCUPATION: Director of Breast Services
SPECIALTY: Breast Surgical Oncology
WHAT DRIVES YOU? Giving personalized, expert care to
women with breast problems. It’s an honor to help women
get through what is often a devastating diagnosis.
WHAT DOES PATIENT CARE MEAN TO YOU? I often say we are
treating the person in front of us and not just the disease. It’s
important to me to take the time to have conversations with my
patients — they feel much better and are not as scared.
