HEMATOLOGY & ONCOLOGY SPECIALIST
ABOUT DR. SCHLESINGER
As a board certified oncologist and hematologist, Dr. Schlesinger
not only offers her exceptional expertise to every patient under
her care, she also understands the importance of balancing the
physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of her patients. Her
professional motto is a testament to her multi-faceted level of
care: “A lot of things in medicine may change but at the very core,
it is really all about relationships. The relationship between the
doctor and patient is just one aspect of the patient’s life, which
is a collection of relationships with other people they love. In
caring for a patient, the other relationships in the patient’s life are
able to continue to grow and develop. It is through those other
relationships that real healing takes place.”
Dr. Schlesinger joined HOAF in 2014, after holding several
prestigious positions, including eight years as director of the Breast
Cancer Program of the Riverside Regional Medical Center in
Newport News, Virginia. Throughout her career, she has written
on various topics, and many of her articles have been published
in such esteemed publications as the American Journal of Cancer.
She is passionate about new therapeutic options for the treatment
of cancer and has been a part of several cancer research studies.
Dr. Schlesinger’s dedication and compassion for her patients
has earned her the prominent “Top Docs” award from Northern
Virginia Magazine and Hampton Roads Magazine.
Dr. Schlesinger earned her medical degree from the University of
Pittsburgh School of Medicine and completed her fellowship in
hematology and medical oncology at the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center School of Medicine.
She is a dedicated member of The Medial Society of Virginia
and the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Schlesinger
has also proudly served on the following committees: Medical
Oncology Representative; Chair, RRMC Breast Cancer Center Ad
Hoc Committee; American Society of Hematology State of the
Art Symposium, and the Craven Regional Medical Center Cancer
Committee.
In her free time, Dr. Schlesinger likes to spend time with her
husband and two children, most often engaging in any number of
outdoor activities. She trains for short distance triathlons and is an
active member of the Eastland United Methodist Church.
