In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tiffany Troso-Sandoval, a double board-certified medical oncologist with over 25 years of experience at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the founder of Winning the Cancer Journey and Second Look Oncology. Dr. Troso shares how her decades of caring for patients with breast and gynecologic cancers inspired her to build a private practice focused on one-on-one patient advocacy and education.
She breaks down what it means to serve as a medical concierge, helping patients understand their bloodwork, scan results, and treatment options while also creating customized systems to stay organized throughout the cancer journey. Dr. Troso also gives a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming two books, the online educational modules she’s developing to demystify the treatment process, and her work as the host of The Empowered Patient Podcast, where she strives to transform the doctor–patient relationship.
We also dive into her path to oncology, the populations she most frequently supports, and how she empowers patients to feel informed, confident, and in control at every stage of care.
