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. I also enjoy spending time with my family and kids. Dr. Oxenberg is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hereditary Pancreatitis.
