She is passionate about using her expertise to develop programs to address cancer risk and prevention, research and healthcare inequality in and around the greater Philadelphia area.

Committed to empowering the next generation, she holds clinical faculty appointments for both Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. Moreover, she is an editor for BAOJ Surgery and MEDIMAA Oncology, as well as the author of numerous peer-reviewed publications in cancer progression, surgical outcomes, and disparities.

Surgery is an essential part of treating breast cancer. Breast surgical oncologists specialize in the treatment of breast cancer using various surgical techniques depending on each patient’s condition. There are many considerations that help to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for each breast cancer patient.

Being a passionate community health advocate, Dr. Gray volunteers with the LiveStrong Program, the American Cancer Society, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Women of Faith and Hope, a local nonprofit for women of color dealing with breast cancer.
