Valley Medical Welcomes New Oncologist

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — Amanda Podolski, MD, has joined Valley Medical Group’s Breast and Gynecologic Oncology Program, the hospital announced Monday.

Podolski specializes in breast cancer, as well as ovarian and endometrial cancers, the hospital said.

"My approach is patient centered and team based. I work with the patient and their family to develop a care plan that fits them and their needs, in the framework of evidence-based medicine," said Podolski, in a statement.

"When I work with my patients I treat the entire patient, not just the disease. This includes the psychological and social aspects that go along with a cancer diagnosis. My goal is to treat patients how I would want my own family treated."

Podolski joins the practice that includes Medical Oncologists Thomas Rakowski, MD, and Eleonora Teplinsky, MD; Gynecologic Oncologist Marie Welshinger, MD; Breast Surgeons Laura Klein, MD, and Moira Christoudias, MD; and Radiation Oncologists Thomas Kole, MD, PhD, and Michael Wesson, MD.

Her office is located in the Valley-Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center Luckow Pavilion, 1 Valley Health Plaza, in Paramus.

To schedule an appointment call 201-634-5578.
