Provider Bio

Jennifer Burzawa, MD, specializes in treating cancers that affect a woman’s reproductive tract, including uterine/endometrial cancer, ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancer, cervical cancer, as well as vulvar and vaginal cancer. She also treats women with preinvasive disease such as endometrial hyperplasia and well as cervical, vulvar and vaginal dysplasia. She also manages woman with adnexal (ovarian) mass that are suspicious for malignancy as well as risk-reducing surgery for woman at increased risk of developing malignancy secondary to hereditary syndromes.

The scope of her practice includes both surgical management of patients, including minimally invasive surgery (traditional laparoscopy as well as robotic surgery). Additionally, she manages chemotherapy for her patients when it is indicated. It is this continuity of care, being able to see patients from their initial diagnosis, through surgery and their subsequent treatment that fostered her love of gynecologic oncology. She strives to treat each patient individually and provide them reassurance and answers during these difficult times.
