Macy Jo Kopp, PAC

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.

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.

As a nonprofit, Banner Health exists to provide health care services to the communities we serve, rather than generate profits. That means that every dollar we earn is reinvested into: New hospital beds, new or expanding patient care services, new physician services, new technologies, maintaining existing equipment and facilities, and aying employees salaries. Banner also provides more than $153 million in charity care through our Financial Assistance Program. In addition, we subsidize the medical education costs for hundreds of medical residents (physicians in training), the majority of whom will stay in Arizona and Colorado, where they trained.Additionally, Banner provides important, free services like the Banner Poison and Drug Information Center Hotline, health information provided by registered nurses through our Banner Health Call Center, and school-based health centers for kids in economically challenged areas.
