Charles Herbert Willett, PAC

I believe that educating patients about the nature of their medical condition, and role of various surgical and non-surgical options is my greatest responsibility. As a surgical oncologist, I collaborate closely with other physicians and providers to provide a holistic, comprehensive surgical and cancer-care plan that is tailored to each patient’s unique condition.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the patients, staff, the community of Banner Health-MD Anderson. Treating patients like family is cliche but still true for me. My goal is to have patients leave our care not only in better health but feeling better about themselves. I want our patients to be heard, to be seen and to be cared for beyond their expectations. In plastic and reconstructive surgery and medicine in general, we are never going to have the answer to everything. Knowing that, I work to grow and discover new and better ways to treat our patients. In partnership with provider colleagues and review of latest developments I strive to give the patients the very best treatment possible.

As a Surgical Oncologist, my care philosophy centers on delivering compassionate, patient-centered treatment that balances cutting-edge surgical techniques with holistic care. A cancer diagnosis could be devastating to a patient and their family/friends. Every patient has their unique priorities and understanding the patient's priorities and working together to achieve those is my top most priority. I believe in a multidisciplinary approach, working closely with other specialists to ensure comprehensive cancer care tailored to each patient's unique situation. I prioritize clear communication and shared decision-making, empowering patients to understand their options and feel confident in their treatment plans. My goal is not only to achieve the best possible surgical outcomes but also to support the patient's emotional and physical well-being throughout their journey.
