Dr. Sara Torgerson |
A warm welcome to Sara Torgerson, D.O. who joins our St Paul Cancer Center team this month.
Dr. Torgerson is a native of Woodbury, MN and recently relocated to the area after completing her fellowship in medical oncology and hematology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
She received her medical degree at Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Des Moines, IA and also holds a Bachelor of Science degree from The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA.
"It is a privilege to care for my patients and of upmost importance to appreciate their unique circumstances," said Dr. Torgerson. "My philosophy is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care while offering the latest evidence-based medical treatment."
Dr. Torgerson is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology and Hematology. As part of her interest in research, she has presented at regional meetings as well as an international lung cancer meeting, and has written several peer-reviewed articles, the most recent being a review on supportive care for pancreas cancer.
In her spare time she enjoys family time with her husband and two young children, Charlotte and Christian. She also loves downhill skiing and water sports. A favorite summer getaway is the family's lake cabin in Wisconsin.
