Susana Lizette Soto-Rodriguez, FNP

I'm committed to treating each patient with respect and compassion.

My approach to care delivery does not only focus on saving lives but providing the best quality of life for my patients. I believe in a multi-disciplinary approach in treating patients, especially those with hepatopancreaticobiliary malignancies. I treat every patient with the same dedication, care and compassion as I would expect a member of my family to be treated.

My care philosophy is centered on providing highly individualized treatment for patients with complex hepatopancreatobiliary and gastrointestinal cancers. I believe that every patient’s journey is unique, and my role is to align the most advanced treatment options with their personal goals and preferences. My focus extends beyond improving survival, I strive to preserve and enhance quality of life, so patients can continue engaging in the activities most meaningful to them. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure seamless coordination of care, whether the optimal pathway involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of therapies. I am committed to being available to my patients throughout every stage of their treatment. With specialized training in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, I am able to perform complex operations through smaller incisions, which can reduce postoperative pain, speed recovery, and allow patients to return to their normal lives more quickly. My goal is to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art care that empowers patients and their families during a challenging time.
