Philosophy
I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families. I strive to understand the experiences, values, and influences that shape each patient’s life and response to illness and treatment. This holistic view helps me to collaborate with my patients to plan the surgical therapy that will provide the most successful outcome for their diagnosis, while helping them achieve the best possible quality of life. As a breast cancer survivor Dr. Ley personally understands the importance of surgical decision making that is shared between the patient and the surgeon. I aim to communicate with my patients frankly, yet gently, and with empathy. No matter our background, we are all people with challenges, successes, and feelings.
Personal
Originally from northern California, Dr. Ley has lived in Tucson since 2000. Outside of the office, she enjoys traveling, camping, and skiing with her husband and two children, as well as reading, cooking, and baking.
