We’re thrilled to share exciting news with our community: Dr. Teisha Shiozaki, MD, FACS, the first fellowship-trained breast surgical oncologist in Lane County, has joined our team at Oregon Surgical Wellness, in partnership with Willamette Valley Cancer Institute!
Dr. Shiozaki brings advanced expertise in breast surgical oncology, adding to the incredible foundation built by our founders, Dr. Winnie Henderson and Dr. Christine Kollmorgen. Together, this trio forms a powerhouse of compassionate, cutting-edge care—right here in the Southern Willamette Valley.
For a community our size, this is a remarkable achievement. By uniting under one program, OSW and WVCI are creating a true center of excellence in breast surgical care—one that ensures our patients have access to innovation, continuity, and world-class expertise close to home.
Meeting a Critical Need, Right When It’s Needed Most
Across the country, healthcare systems are grappling with the challenge of recruiting and retaining specialists. At the same time, the need for cancer care continues to grow. Here in Oregon, breast cancer rates remain significant—and the demand for highly trained surgical experts has never been greater.
That’s why we’re expanding our breast program. Welcoming Dr. Shiozaki is more than a milestone—it’s a promise to our community that we’re investing in the future of cancer care.
Advanced Techniques, Compassionate Care
Dr. Shiozaki’s fellowship training equips her with the latest innovations in breast surgical oncology, including minimally invasive and oncoplastic techniques that prioritize both cancer control and cosmetic outcomes. Her approach reflects our shared philosophy: treat the whole person, not just the disease.
Together, our team offers more than surgery. We provide genetic risk assessment, survivorship resources, and ongoing research opportunities—ensuring every patient is supported through diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and beyond.
A Shared Vision for the Future
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while pink ribbons are powerful symbols, we believe true impact comes from action. By strengthening our team and expanding our services, we’re building a more resilient, compassionate cancer care program for Lane and Linn Counties.
We’re proud to welcome Dr. Shiozaki—and proud to stand beside every patient who walks through our doors. Because at OSW we believe our patients deserve nothing less.
