Honoring Breast Cancer Awareness – Meet Two Leaders in Personalized Care

April 29, 2025

We are proud to spotlight  Elizabeth Feldman, MD, FACS , Breast Surgeon, and  Shruti Tiwari, MD Medical Oncologist, Breast Cancer Specialist –  who bring both expertise and compassion to every patient interaction. Dr. Tiwari and Dr. Feldman who were recently featured in the Washingtonian magazine, provide individualized care for patients with breast cancer and benign breast conditions, supported by a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team.

“When a person is diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s one of the toughest times in their lives,” says Dr. Shruti Tiwari, board-certified medical oncologist. “It’s a roller coaster of emotions and decisions. At Virginia Cancer Specialists, we are here to offer expert diagnosis and treatment and get people back to live the life they’ve always wanted.”

Each patient receives a personalized care plan that may include access to innovative clinical trials and the latest therapies—offering hope, improved outcomes, and better quality of life.

“We are probably the closest thing to a concierge cancer practice,” adds Dr. Elizabeth Feldman, board-certified breast surgeon. “We think of our patients as individuals and assess where they are in life. Our patients do not fit into a cookie cutter. That makes us different than other practices.”

“We treat the person as a whole,” emphasizes Dr. Tiwari. “Cancer affects a patient’s families and loved ones, so we support them in every possible way.”

From preventative surgical approaches like lymphovenous bypass to thoughtful reconstructive options that consider both medical and aesthetic outcomes, the team ensures that long-term wellness is always part of the plan.

“Our mission includes preventative care to lessen the side effects of treatment,” says Dr. Feldman. “We want our patients to be pleased with the long-term outcomes.”

Both physicians bring not only clinical skill, but a deep personal understanding to their roles.

“We make a difference and help people through one of the most difficult times in their lives,” says Dr. Tiwari. “It’s a big honor. I love what I do.”

“We emphasize that women make themselves a priority during treatment,” adds Dr. Feldman. “It’s wonderful to see patients survive and thrive.”

With 10 locations across Northern Virginia, Virginia Cancer Specialists offers access to breast surgeons, radiation oncologists, nurse navigators, genetic counselors, dietitians, clinical researchers, and more—all working together to deliver truly comprehensive care.
