Dr. Kendra J. Modell-Parrish
Overview
It is humbling to meet patients as they face a difficult diagnosis of breast cancer and/or breast abnormalities. As a breast surgical oncologist, my goal is to help alleviate that burden by surgically removing the tumor and to aid in restoring wholeness. The legacy of my role model Mr. Fred Rogers, is to find opportunities (in medicine) to show one another kindness. “You make each day a special day. You know how, by just your being you. There’s only one person in this whole world like you. And people can like you exactly as you are.”.
Her top areas of expertise are Gallbladder Disease, Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Gastrostomy, and Lymphadenectomy.
Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

Clinical Research

Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.

Duke Cancer Center
Every day, my goal is to take the best surgical care of my patients' kidney or prostate cancer by offering the most up-to-date minimally invasive surgical treatments, while making sure that their experiences and outcomes at Duke Health are top-notch! As we look at the scans together and discuss biopsy results, it is important to me that I spend all of the time that my patients and their families need to clearly understand their diagnosis as well as all treatment options, so that we can make joint decisions about next steps and their treatment plan. Many of my patients are referred from all over the country to seek highly specialized urology care, including nonsurgical focal cryotherapy for prostate cancer, robotic surgery for prostate cancer, or robotic surgical removal of their kidney tumor called a partial nephrectomy, among other treatments, with our multidisciplinary, collaborative team. I always reassure and share my positive outlook with my patients as we navigate the health system together. My patients know that, as their physician, I will be their champion and advise them and guide them through their treatment. We are in this together.

His top areas of expertise are Prostate Cancer, Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Prostatectomy, and Nephrectomy.
