Dr. Ethan S. Rogers, MD
Breast Surgeon
University of Maryland St. Joseph Breast Center
After perusing his family’s books about the human body, Ethan Rogers announced at age 5 that he would become a doctor. In fact, the native Baltimorean didn’t consider another career option.
Destined to follow in the footsteps of his grandfathers (both of whom were general surgeons and general practitioners), he studied hard – graduating from The University of Maryland School of Medicine, completing a comprehensive surgical residency at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and undergoing specialty training at Baylor University Medical Center.
In 2013, Ethan S. Rogers, MD, returned to Baltimore as a skilled and compassionate breast surgeon at the nationally-recognized Breast Center at University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center.
“I love that I have the ability to care for the patients in the community in which I grew up, taking them along their journey from fear and uncertainty back to their lives free from cancer,” he says.
As a top breast surgeon at UM St. Joseph, Dr. Rogers supports evaluation, management and prevention strategies for women and men at high risk for the development of breast cancer. He works in tandem with the breast team’s oncology specialists to provide advanced, holistic and personalized care for lifelong health and wellbeing.
“Everyone here is dedicated to providing the best care and experience for patients to go along with those outcomes,” he says. “Exceptional care and support will start the moment patients enter the building and continue with every encounter.”
Treating the surgeon-patient relationship as a “partnership,” Dr. Rogers takes as much time as needed to ensure that patients can make informed decisions about their care – noting “that can mean hours of conversations before we even start their treatment.”
When asked what’s the best part of his job, Dr. Rogers proudly answers: “The results. It’s tremendously satisfying that, for most cases of breast cancer, we can provide a long-lasting cure.”
