Kathryn H. Chomsky-Menut, M.D., M.S.

As a surgeon specializing in general and endocrine surgery, Dr. Chomsky-Menut is committed to delivering thoughtful, patient-centered care grounded in clinical excellence, compassion, and respect. She believes that surgery is not only a technical discipline, but also a deeply human endeavor that requires listening carefully to each patient's values, concerns, and goals. She strives to ensure that every patient feels informed, empowered, and actively involved in decision-making. This includes providing clear explanations of diagnoses, discussing the full range of treatment options, and partnering with patients and their families to develop individualized care plans that align with their preferences. In the management of endocrine and general surgical conditions—where decisions are often nuanced and outcomes closely tied to long-term quality of life—she prioritizes precision, evidence-based practice, and multidisciplinary collaboration. She works closely with endocrinologists, primary care physicians, radiologists, and other specialists to deliver coordinated, comprehensive care. She is dedicated to using minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques when appropriate, always balancing innovation with safety and proven outcomes. Continuous learning, quality improvement, and reflection are central to her practice, ensuring that she provides care that is both current and consistently improving. Above all, she aims to treat each patient with dignity, empathy, and honesty—recognizing the trust they place in her during some of their most vulnerable moments. Her goal is not only to achieve the best possible surgical outcomes, but also to support each patient's overall well-being throughout their care journey.
