“Breast cancer treatment is my passion and my calling. Woman-to-woman I bring you that special understanding about the effects of this disease. The part that goes beyond the physical aspects—the questions about your femininity, your appearance, your doubts, and your fears. I’ve been on the other side of the cancer table, having lost my father to lung cancer. There were times I didn’t feel like I was getting the whole story. I welcome your questions and concerns. We’ll walk through breast cancer together. You are not in this alone.”
Robyn Young, MD focuses entirely on breast cancer treatment and serves as the principal investigator for numerous breast clinical trials. With many years of experience, she offers her patients the most up-to-date and aggressive options for fighting this disease including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, and biological therapy. Dr. Young believes in working closely with breast cancer surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other medical professionals to provide a team approach, assuring each patient an opportunity for a cure and the highest quality of life.
In addition to treating patients diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. Young strongly believes in prevention of this disease.
