Pictured: John Healey

I have decades of experience diagnosing and treating sarcomas and benign tumors of the bones and soft tissue. I am an expert in surgery to remove tumors while preserving limbs, and I rebuild functional bones and joints with joint replacements and bone transplants. I am proud to be part of a team with a missionary zeal to treat people with cancer and to help them continue to have productive lives.

I also have a special interest in treating children who have bone cancers (osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma). As we continue to make progress in curing these cancers, it becomes even more important to be able to reconstruct limbs to provide patients with optimal long-term function. While our goal is always to cure the cancer, we strive to understand each patient's activities and help them achieve their individual goals while maintaining hope for the future.
