Highlights
Meet Gynecologic Oncologist Diljeet Singh
My name is Diljeet Singh, and I'm a gynecologic oncologist at UVA Health. I take care of women who have ovary cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, vulvar vaginal cancer. That also might mean people come to see me if they have a pre-cancer or if they have something abnormal on a scan. We would do chemotherapy if they needed it, surgery if they needed it, get them connected to other specialists if they needed it. A new patient who comes to see me should know that I am on her team, that if she needs a coach, I'll be her coach. If she needs a cheerleader, I'll be her cheerleader. If she needs a trainer, I'll be her trainer. But I am part of her team taking her through the process of whatever she needs to get through. I feel like it's the countless experiences I've had over the years of taking care of women that have brought me to be the doctor I am today. Patients who asked me questions in a certain way that made me think through how to explain it. Patients who asked me about integrative medicine or supplements or nutrition or acupuncture that forced me to go back and get more training so I could give them the right answers to their questions. I think at UVA, we offer people the perfect combination of getting high-quality cancer care close to home where they have access to their family and their support system, but also offer all of the things that an academic cancer center offers.
