Dr. Kristen Roman
Overview
I graduated as Physician Assistant from Barry University in Miami, but I was lucky to do my training in one of the most beautiful places in the United States, the US Virgin Islands. After finishing my training in the USVI, I gained experience working for M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Initially, I started my career working in Palliative Care Medicine, which gave me a strong foundation for how to manage the various symptoms experienced by cancer patients. Then, I transitioned to the Melanoma Medical Oncology department where I learned how to treat and manage patients undergoing immunotherapy and chemotherapy for their metastatic disease. After many years away from my hometown of Greensboro, I felt like it was time to move back to greener lands with my pup to be closer to family. With my oncology experience, I am hoping to bring patients comfort and compassionate care while they are undergoing treatment for their metastatic genitourinary cancer.
