Dr. Laurie Kirstein treats breast cancer at MSK Monmouth, tackling complex cases and using minimally invasive surgery so patients recover quickly and confidently.
When you come to see me, my goal is to explain what kind of breast cancer you have, what treatment we recommend, and why – so that when you leave my office, you’ll have a plan that will take away some of your anxiety, giving you confidence and hope.
Hello, I'm Dr. Laurie Kirstein, a breast surgeon with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center practicing at our location in Monmouth, New Jersey. I also lead a group of specialists from across MSK who tackle our most complex cases.
This collaboration means that we provide the best care for each patient we review. At MSK, you don’t have just one doctor. You’ve got a team behind you.
Of course, it’s natural to be worried when you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer. You may be wondering, “How will I get through this?” “How will I look?” “Will I ever feel like myself again?” I will guide you through all of it, using the least invasive approaches that will treat the cancer successfully and leave you looking good and feeling strong.
My goal is to provide you not only the best care, but to organize it around your life. I want you to be able to go to that soccer game, take that vacation, attend that graduation, and participate in the moments that matter to you. Together, we’ll get you back to living your life the way you want.
