About Heather A. Player
Heather Player, M.D., understands that illness can be a time of great fear and doubt for patients, as well as an opportunity for courage and compassion.“It's the greatest reward to be chosen to take this journey with a patient,” she says. Dr. Player is keenly interested in the treatment of breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer, as well as soft tissue tumors like melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer. Before medical school, Dr. Player earned degrees in public health and secondary education, then taught science in the New York City public school system. She received her M.D. from Weill Cornell Medical College. During her residency at Stamford Hospital, she was named Connecticut State Champion in a surgical skills competition. Dr. Player joined our staff after completing a City of Hope surgical oncology fellowship. She calls City of Hope “a community where compassion and science live hand-in-hand. A passion for cure thrives here.”
