Comprehensive Breast Cancer Care Closer to Home

AHN Surgery Institute’s Division of Breast Surgery is expanding access to exceptional breast cancer care across northwestern Pennsylvania. AHN breast surgeon Charis Venditti, MD, FACOG, now sees patients at AHN Saint Vincent Hospital and AHN Grove City Hospital, bringing advanced surgical expertise and a personalized approach to care.

Personalized and advanced techniques

Dr. Venditti is recognized for her proficiency in innovative, minimally invasive breast surgery, including hidden scar approaches, seed localization, and targeted axillary dissection.

These techniques are designed to preserve breast appearance, minimize the impact of surgery, and potentially reduce a patient’s need for more extensive surgeries.

“Every patient has unique needs,” said Dr. Venditti. “My goal is to make sure that each person achieves their best possible outcome, while still maintaining a natural appearance — and their confidence.”

Dr. Venditti provides comprehensive breast cancer care, from prevention strategies for high-risk patients to treatment for benign breast conditions. While she has a special interest in treatment of breast disease, Dr. Venditti is board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is committed to advancing women’s health through clinical care, research, and education.

“Bringing high-quality breast cancer care to patients’ local communities can dramatically improve outcomes and access,” said Dr. Venditti. “This work is deeply personal and deeply important.
