Dr. Emily Bellavance is a fellowship-trained breast surgical oncologist with years of experience in the treatment of benign and malignant breast disease. She is dedicated to providing her patients a personalized treatment plan focused on accommodating their beliefs and values while ensuring quality of life is maintained throughout this difficult process. She believes in being accessible to her patients throughout their treatment and will accommodate newly diagnosed patients within 24 hours. Dr. Bellavance takes an interdisciplinary approach in maintaining continuity of care by always including her patient's other doctors in all major results and decisions.

Dr. Bellavance received her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine where she later became a resident in General Surgery. After completing her residency, she was a Fellow at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine's Surgical Oncology department.

Dr. Bellavance maintains memberships with the American College of Surgeons and the Society of Surgical Oncology. She also serves on committees in the American Society of Breast Surgeons and the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology to keep up-to-date on the latest innovations and research in breast cancer. Her medical research is published in dozens of medical journals, books, and videos, and she has been invited to present and speak at a number of symposiums and conferences.

Her clinical interests include nipple-sparing mastectomy, breast conservation surgery, prophylactic breast surgery, and the use of oncoplastic techniques to maximize cosmetic outcomes. She has completed certification in hidden scar surgery. Dr. Bellavance is involved in a variety of research and National Cooperative Group trials that she can make available to her patients on a case-by-case basis.
