She focuses on building integrated models of care that advance clinical quality, improve access, and create a seamless, patient-centered experience. Her leadership emphasizes collaboration, operational excellence, and strong alignment between physicians and health systems to deliver high-performing oncology programs. “There is no profit in curing the body if, in the process, we destroy the soul.”. — Sam Golter. This principle guides. Dr. Crocitto’s approach to both care delivery and leadership. She believes that the cancer journey should be as seamless, coordinated, and supportive as possible for patients and their families. Thoughtful system design—improving access, reducing delays, and strengthening care coordination—can meaningfully shape the patient experience during a highly vulnerable time. She also believes that exceptional patient care depends on strong, supported care teams. Creating an environment where physicians, APCs, nurses, and staff can do their best work is essential to delivering high-quality, compassionate care. Dr. Crocitto is deeply committed to developing physician leaders and fostering collaborative teams. Inspired in part by her passion for ballroom dancing, she views leadership as a partnership grounded in trust, communication, and shared rhythm—knowing when to lead, when to follow, and how to move forward together with clarity and purpose. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Crocitto enjoys Peloton, hiking, and ballroom dancing. These pursuits reflect her commitment to discipline, growth, and balance. She often draws parallels between dance and leadership: The best outcomes—on the dance floor or in healthcare—come from alignment, trust, and the ability to move together toward a shared goal. ## Education and training **Medical school:** University of Southern California **Residency:** University of Southern California Medical Center, Urology/General Surgery **Fellowship:** Norris Cancer Center, Urologic Oncology **Special training:** University of Southern California, Master of Health Administration (MHA) ## Board certifications - Urology ## Affiliations ### Hospitals - Alta Bates Summit Medical Center ### Medical groups - Sutter East Bay Medical Group **Research and advances in care** Publications - [Critical analysis of hospital readmission and cost burden after robot-assisted radical cystectomy](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26405852/) Wittig, K., Ruel, N., Barlog, J., Crocitto, L., Chan, K., Lau, C., Wilson, T. and Yuh, B.
