About Us

About Our Practice

At Life Surgical Oncology in La Canada, CA, we specialize in the surgical treatment of solid organ cancers and complex benign diseases. Our team offers a comprehensive range of procedures for colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, breast, liver, and skin cancers, as well as soft tissue sarcomas, peritoneal surface malignancies, and gastrointestinal stromal and neuroendocrine tumors. In addition to cancer care, we provide expert surgical solutions for challenging benign conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic pancreatitis, benign hepatobiliary disorders, large abdominal wall hernias, and complications from previous surgeries. Our surgeons have held leadership roles at top academic institutions and bring high training and surgical precision to every case.

We believe the best outcomes come from collaboration. That's why our approach is rooted in multidisciplinary care. We work closely with medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, radiation oncologists, and interventional radiologists to develop well-rounded, evidence-based treatment plans. When standard therapies are no longer effective, we explore access to promising clinical trials through trusted research partners across the region and beyond. Whether managing a newly diagnosed malignancy or a complex surgical complication, our focus remains on delivering personalized care with clarity, commitment, and surgical excellence.
