Deborah Gumina, M.D., FACS
“Like many, I was drawn to medicine, in general, and surgery in particular, for the very simple reason that I wanted to be able to help people. I was fascinated with being able to diagnose, treat and have an immediate impact on people’s lives. Over the years, I have had friends and families afflicted, with among other issues, breast disease, so being able to focus on care for women has been a driving factor in my profession.”
Dr. Gumina has earned her Bachelor’s degree in genetics from the University of California, Davis and attended the Loyola University – Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago.
