Welcome to Life With Dr. Jovita.

I understand that life’s challenges are unique and complex to all individuals. As a board certified general surgeon with specialization in breast cancer, I have seen first hand how quickly life can change by throwing us unexpected curveballs.  I’m here to help you live not just a healthy life but your best life. If you’re feeling lost, stressed or overwhelmed, come along with me and let’s journey together to find balance. 

I have been a Board certified oncologic breast surgeon and healthy and balanced lifestyle advocate since 2001. I specialize in helping women through one of the most difficult diagnosis that a woman can be given. I take great pride in my knowledge and expertise in this field. I manage this full time work with being a wife to a busy psychiatrist and mother to a daughter in obgyn residency and a son studying biomedical engineering in university. I don’t believe in missing out on anything as life is too short. I balance all aspects of my life to be able to live and enjoy it all to the fullest.

My interests include:

Running, Writing. Reading. Cooking, Traveling, Entertaining, Socializing.

I am passionate about:

Breast cancer outcomes in minority and young women, preventative healthcare, lifestyle medicine, and empowering the next generation of minorities and women.
