Carolyn A Schnurr, DO

I’ve always been drawn to caring for people and finding meaningful ways to make a difference in their lives. Medicine, and surgery in particular, allows me to combine science, skill, and empathy to help patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. I’m passionate about breast surgical oncology, oncoplastic and reconstructive approaches that preserve form and function, and comprehensive care for high-risk patients. I also enjoy teaching and mentoring residents and medical students.

I want you to know that you’ll always be heard, cared for, and supported. I take time to explain every step of the process, answer questions, and make sure you feel comfortable and informed about your options. Whether you’re facing a new breast cancer diagnosis or a benign breast concern, my goal is to provide education, evidence-based recommendations, and a treatment plan tailored to your needs. You can feel confident that we’re making decisions together — medically, emotionally, and personally.

What brings me the greatest joy is helping patients navigate the unknown: tackling breast cancer with a clear plan, guiding them through treatment, and walking with them into survivorship. For those with benign breast disease, I’m committed to relieving symptoms, offering clarity, and ensuring you feel supported every step of the way. At the Comprehensive Breast Care Clinic, you’ll also benefit from a truly multidisciplinary approach — with seamless collaboration between surgery, imaging, medical oncology, radiation oncology, genetics, specialty nurse navigation, and a wide network of supportive care services to assist patients throughout treatment and survivorship— all working together to provide the highest level of care.
