Overview

I’m a radiation oncologist that specializes in gastrointestinal malignancies. My approach to patient care is to spend a lot of time getting to know patients first. Then, I carefully evaluate all their tests and work with other colleagues to develop an individual plan. Using a team approach, we are either able to cure patients through combined modality treatments or help ease their symptoms.

Dr. Willett is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Esophageal Cancer. His top areas of expertise are Familial Pancreatic Cancer, Anal Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer), and Colonoscopy.

I’m a radiation oncologist who primarily treat patients with gastrointestinal cancers and breast cancer. I also do clinical research trials. I’m specifically researching how exercise impacts a patient’s cancer growth and side effects of cancer. I’ve always liked helping people and in college I volunteered in the oncology ward and knew then I had found my passion. Interacting with patients is my favorite part of my job. I like to explain to them how radiation works and how it can benefit them. My hope is to provide my patients with an explanation that gives them less anxiety and less fear about the treatment. Dr. Palta is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Esophageal Cancer. Her top areas of expertise are Pancreatic Cancer, Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer), Ampullary Cancer, Pancreaticoduodenectomy, and Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery.
