| Coral Quiet, M.D. |
Dr. Quiet is a radiation oncologist specializing in the treatment of breast cancer. She was an intern at University of Chicago planning to specialize in mastectomies and immediate reconstructions. Following two years of surgical residency, she began her studies of oncology and radiation therapy. Dr. Quiet has practiced in Arizona since 1993.
Because of her concern that women were not getting full information before making their treatment decisions, Dr. Quiet co-founded the Arizona Institute for Breast Health (www.AIBH.org), a non-profit organization that provides a free second opinion service for women and their families recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Dr. Quiet began a breast brachytherapy program in 2000. She helped to pioneer the Mammosite catheter for the FDA studies and has been involved with that device’s long-term use and research. Her experience with that device let to a realization that it was limited, and could only treat 60% of the patients being seen with early stage breast cancer. She has since pioneered a new device, SAVI, which has completed its early studies and has shown increased use and is capable of treating more women with early stage breast cancer, while avoiding high dose to the skin and ribs. Dr. Quiet continues to investigate new devices designed to advance breast cancer treatment options.
Dr. Quiet was voted the “#1 Top Doc” in 2010 for Radiation Oncology byPhoenix Magazine. Physicians selected for this recognition are selected through a peer-review survey of 5,000 Valley physicians.
