“My goal is to build trust and mutual respect with patients and to meet them where they are. I want people to feel at ease and to be a positive part of their overall experience.”

— Dr. Mileto

What do you value about your work?

My philosophy of care is patient-centered. We are all here to support patients and their families as they make decisions about their health and treatment. I value collaboration to get the best outcomes for patients and a team-based approach where patient values and preferences come first. I strive to provide patients with the best, most up-to-date care.

What brought you to diagnostic radiology?

When I was a medical student, I was interested in pathology because it allows us to recognize patterns and signatures on a micro level. Then I did a rotation in radiology and realized we could use imaging tools to see things and make a diagnosis in a noninvasive fashion — possibly at an earlier stage — and this is how I came to focus on imaging for cancer.
