Gia M Compagnoni, MD, FACS

“What I want for our patients here at Advanced Surgical is that they feel like they are surrounded by a family that cares about them. We are highly trained specialists, but we haven’t lost sight of the critical importance of the human connection between doctor and patient. “

Background & Philosophy

Dr. Compagnoni’s practice is focused on all aspects of breast health and minimally invasive surgery. She incorporates advanced techniques for breast cancer patients and robotics, in providing surgical care that emphasizes communication and collaboration.

With an emphasis on high-touch, patient-centric care, Dr. Compagnoni understands that successful patient outcomes require a team working closely together to make that happen.  The Advanced Surgical model considers communication and education to be as important as the treatment provided and to this end, Dr. Compagnoni gives all of her cancer patients her cell phone number, as well as each patient, and has a dedicated support team member to help guide them through the treatment process.

She is a lifelong learner whose expertise includes diagnosing and treating breast cancer, managing high-risk breast patients, and treating many benign breast issues.
