Treatment Philosophy
My goal is to place the patient at the center and utilize the multidisciplinary team to engage with the patient in shared decision making to achieve aggressive but holistic breast cancer management. I feel honored that patients place their trust in my skills and judgement; this is a unique relationship that I never take for granted.

Patient comments
Dr. Pronovost was a joy to interact with. She explained everything clearly, concisely, took her time with me and made me feel very safe that I was in great hands. Moreover, I experienced very little pain after the surgery (didn't have to take any of the pain meds). I am so thankful to have had Dr. Pronovost as my surgeon. Glad Temple has such an amazing doctor like her and wish there were more like her. [...]
Overall my experience has been excellent
Calm, clear, confidence-inspiring and caring.
Dr. Pronovost was caring, considerate, and compassionate while explaining my cancer diagnosis and any options that I may have. She also went through and explained the pathology derived from recent testing that none of my other providers had explained.
The new office at Chestnuthill Brest center is welcoming and very nice. Staff was professional and make me feel like family. Dr. Provost is just great.
