Overview
Throughout my career, one fundamental principle has guided my approach to patient care. For each patient, I strive to provide the kind of care that I would want for my own family and bring my best expertise, judgment and empathy to guide patients to restore and maintain long-term health. I know that the work that I do isn’t just for the patients who I directly care for, but it affects the whole family. Being a mother and a wife helps bring that perspective to the work I do. I never lose sight of how important it is to treat the whole family and to recognize the effects of disease on it. I believe that Duke offers patients the best and most advanced care that they can get anywhere in the world. I’ve been touched by cancer in my life. Just being on the receiving end of health care makes you very sensitive about the things required for the patient to feel like they are getting the best possible care.

Duke Women's Cancer Care Raleigh
I am a breast surgeon who takes care of patients with both benign and malignant breast disease. As a surgeon, I enjoy operating, but my favorite part of my work is developing a relationship with my patients, while providing them with the most state of the art breast care. My patients inspire me on a daily basis. I’m always impressed with their strength and conviction. The field of breast cancer research has exploded in recent years in terms of advancements in both diagnosis and personalized treatment options, which keeps me excited and energized. What’s great about our practice is that not only is it an intimate setting and convenient location, but we also have all the tools and specialists of a large practice. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my blended, modern family. Dr. Dilalla is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Intraductal Papilloma.

Duke Cancer Center
My interest in surgery came from a fascination in our ability to interrupt a disease process and the body’s ability to heal. I have dedicated my practice to surgical oncology of the breast, as I am passionate about helping women understand this complex and extremely personal diagnosis. Having walked through breast cancer with a family member, I recognize the importance of accurate risk assessment and informed decision making tailored to one’s own principles of health and wholeness. I am committed to providing compassionate care, alleviating fears of the unknown, and listening to the needs of my patients to obtain the best possible outcome.

Duke Breast Risk Assessment Clinic
I became interested in medicine after my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I strive to provide individualized care to my patients, making sure that they understand their diagnosis and all treatment options. My goal is to get to know my patients by listening to their concerns, so we can make the best treatment decision together using my breast treatment expertise. Having gone though breast cancer treatment with my mom, I understand the impact of the diagnosis on the rest of the family. Treating breast cancer patients is my passion. I have special interest in treating young women with breast cancer, those with genetic mutation, and women with increased risk of breast cancer. I also pay attention to cosmetic outcomes while completing breast cancer surgery using oncoplastic techniques. I also perform nipple-sparing mastectomy whenever possible and utilizing new techniques such as minimally invasive robotic mastectomy and nipple sensation sparing mastectomies. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family. Dr. Chiba is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Intraductal Papilloma.
