Breast Cancer Survivorship
Dr. Menn has a personal interest in addressing the female health needs of women dealing with cancer of all types. She is an over 23 year breast cancer survivor herself and dedicated to helping other women. Patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis are faced with a myriad of health issues that may significantly impact their quality of life. Medical oncologists and surgeons are primarily focused on treating and curing the cancer, but a survivor's health needs extend beyond beating the disease. Working in collaboration with a patient's surgeon and oncologist, Dr. Menn can help women navigate the medical system and deal with the sensitive female health issues and collateral damage of treatment.

Telehealth consults with Dr. Menn offer patients an easy and comfortable way to connect with a doctor who truly understands. Cancer survivors deal with so many trips to medical offices and hospitals, so it's comforting to be able to meet with Dr. Menn from wherever you are. A telehealth visit never replaces in person check ups with your cancer care team, but Dr. Menn can provide consultative care and work with your team virtually.
