Meet thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon Mara Antonoff, M.D. 

Mara Antonoff, M.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at MD Anderson in Sugar Land.
Dr. Antonoff completed her undergraduate studies in Chemistry and Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, after which she earned her medical degree at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis. Her first exposure to cancer care occurred during her general surgery basic research internship.
Dr. Antonoff came to MD Anderson because she believes MD Anderson provides a phenomenal model for how to take care of patients with cancer, and provides patients with multidisciplinary care, across multiple locations throughout Houston.
Outside of work, her family keeps her very busy, but she also enjoys travel, yoga and trying out new restaurants. There are not very many women in thoracic surgery, and she is proud to be in that group. For her, it's really important to her to get to know her patients and their family members on a personal level.
