About Lisa D. Curcio
Professional Statement
Lisa Curcio, MD, FACS, is a fellowship-trained breast surgeon providing individualized care to patients with breast concerns. Her practice includes benign and malignant breast diagnoses. Dr. Curcio was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37. Although her fellowship training was in all surgical oncology, this experience motivated her to provide compassionate, high-level breast care and focus on breast surgery. Dr. Curcio is passionate about treating the patient and individualizing the care plan to their specific needs. Dr. Curcio strongly believes that cancer care must include lifestyle changes to focus on healthier habits to reduce future events. Her practice also focuses on breast cancer risk reduction, education and access to genetic testing for patients with a family history of breast cancer. She is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for breast surgery.

I absolutely love Dr. Curcio and her entire staff that I have interacted with. Especially, Andrea who answers the phone and is the Scheduler. They are infinitely patient, they listen and are kind. Dr. Curcio is very professional, yet warm.

Dr Curcio went out of her way to see me while I was in the hospital twice and then sent her PA to see me as well. Kind; honest and caring. So blessed to be in her care.

She called me to talk over my mammogram and ultrasound results 3 hours after the office closed for the weekend. That’s dedication and caring about me, as a person. Way above and beyond.
