Dr. Sarah A. Westergaard
Overview
My goal is to provide tailored treatment that aligns with the goals and values of each patient. I was initially attracted to radiation oncology by the cutting-edge technology and the inspiring patients I met. It is a privilege to care for patients during potentially one of the most challenging times of their lives. I strive to make patients feel supported during their treatment and reassured that they are receiving the most up-to-date treatments at Duke. When not in the clinic, I enjoy exploring nature, game nights with friends, and relaxing with my husband and cat.
