Highlights
Dr. Todd Bauer profile video
I'm Todd Bauer. I'm a surgical oncologist and my specialty is in treating pancreatic cancers and other disorders of the pancreas as well as liver and biliary cancers and a type of tumor called soft tissue sarcoma. I think what you could expect from me, number one, is complete honesty. I think that developing a rapport with a patient and making sure the patient understands how big of a problem or how little of a problem do they have and what realistically are their chances of having a cure and a good outcome and then knowing that I'm going to treat that patient as if they were my own father or my own family member. You want to be at a place where all of the care members are part of a team and everybody's communicating together and as a team going to take care of you and do their absolute best and I think that's what we pride ourselves on here at UVA. To be able to establish a relationship and a trust with that patient that I'm going to absolutely take the best care of them and make decisions that are going to be in my mind what's going to be best for them and get through a surgery, get them healed up and recovered and then continue to see them back over the years and quite honestly celebrate with them every time we get a CAT scan that shows that things are clear and their tumor hasn't come back. So for me, I can say that those relationships with my patients I absolutely cherish.
