Philosophy of care | I treat everyone as if they were a member of my own family. Patient-centered care is important to me and I make sure you fully understand your diagnosis and all treatment options. | Why I entered medicine | I’m a hands-on person, someone who’s interested in what makes things work. I’ve always been intrigued by the human body and how it works. | My interest in medicine was first sparked in my childhood. I was only 4 when my sister was born and had to be airlifted for emergency surgery. The operation was successful and I remember the surgeon being this larger than life figure to me. | I started out my college career majoring in pharmaceutical product development, but it soon became clear that the only place I would be happy was in medicine. | Personal interests | I’m the mother of two and love spending time with my children. I’m an avid New York Yankees and New York Giants fan and love golf and running. Dr. Bott is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Giant Mammary Hamartoma.

Philosophy of care | Facing a cancer diagnosis is extremely tough for patients and their families. High-quality cancer care should be easy to find closer to home. Patients facing a cancer diagnosis should have access to a multidisciplinary team to achieve the best outcome. | Why I entered medicine | I entered the field of medicine to advance care through research, education and program building. | Community involvement | I've directed educational events for physicians/clinicians on breast diseases and cancer. I’ve led and participated in high-risk screening events. I’ve moderated symposiums and participated in fundraising and educational walks. I’ve worked with community leaders on breast cancer needs and resources. I’ve participated in media events to help educate the public on breast cancer risks and to share patient stories for colon cancer and breast cancer. | Personal interests | My interest is using education and research to improve and expand high-quality cancer care locally.

Philosophy of care | I pride myself on taking care of people, not diseases or body parts. | People come with histories, belief systems, truths and misconceptions about their diagnoses based on their prior experiences and those of others. I try to understand and appreciate where they’re coming from and all aspects of their life when treating them. | A cancer diagnosis can be frightening, and I don’t take that lightly. Patients allow me into their lives at what may be the scariest time ever for them. I try to include the family in treatment because family is important and the diagnosis involves everybody, not just one person. | I’m a member of the breast cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together, we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | I was born and raised in Allentown, and Lehigh Valley Health Network has been part of my family as long as I can remember. | I grew up on the South Side of Allentown, not far from the LVH–Cedar Crest campus when it was a single building in what seemed the middle of a cornfield. My mother was treated for breast and lung cancer there. My father was treated for Legionnaire’s disease there. My brother was treated there for osteochondrosarcoma, a bone and cartilage cancer. I came from a family of blue-collar workers and nobody had been to college, but my family’s experience with cancer and disease inspired me to go to medical school and become a cancer surgeon. | Community involvement | I’m part of anything affiliated with breast cancer fundraising. I don’t belong to a lot of philanthropic organizations outside the hospital, but I participate in any activities the hospital sponsors, particularly when they’re related to breast cancer. | Personal interests | I collect shoes, and have for many years. Some are vintage or from notable designers who people might know from various TV shows, like Manolo Blahnik. I have a room in my home just for shoes, but they’re not strictly for display – I wear them every day. | As a woman in medicine who takes care of predominantly women, this is something fun I can share. In fact, I’ve become known for it, so new patients often look first at my feet to see what I’m wearing! I also enjoy Peloton, which is a type of stationary exercise bike with a large screen that allows you to connect with a community of users. It’s like a fitness Facebook except everybody doesn’t know all your business. My username is HellonHeelz.

Philosophy of care | The healing process requires trust, knowledge and hope. I try to create a feeling of trust, give patients the knowledge they need to understand their own condition, and of course, develop a plan that gives them hope. I treat my patients as if they are a member of my family or a close friend. I committed myself to that when I first thought of becoming a doctor. I know what it means. My dear aunt and grandmother both had breast cancer. I know how it affected my own family. Treating a patient like a member of the family means empowering my patients with understandable information and formulating a treatment plan that makes sense to them. I share my perspective with my patients, try to eliminate the unknown and help them to see the light after passing through darkness. | Also, I am a member of the breast cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | I was conflicted between my passion for classical music as a concert pianist and for the art of medicine as an intellectual. I came to a conclusion that I could combine both arts and make a compassionate career with the product of my hands - the art of Surgery. | Community involvement | I am committed to church activities, medical missions and mentorship. I am actively engaged in women's programs such as 'Show your chapeau', a fundraiser musical event to benefit breast cancer patients. | Personal interests | My interests are classical piano, church organ and oil painting.
