Dr. Rueth was drawn to the field of oncology during her medical training because of the blend of intelligence and heart required to care for patients with cancer. She cherishes the opportunity to educate patients, minimize their fear and uncertainty, and help them navigate the challenging landscape of cancer care. Dr. Rueth feels that her greatest compliment is when patients leave her office at the end of a consult and tell her they feel renewed hope and security.

Dr. Rueth holds a master’s in clinical research, teaches and mentors other physicians, and publishes and presents on various aspects of cancer care, including research on breast cancer.

Before joining Memorial, Dr. Rueth served as deputy director and surgical oncologist at Allina Health Cancer Institute in Minnesota, where she was honored to be named a “Top Doctor” in the state by Minnesota Monthly Magazine annually and was also recognized as a “Top Doctor” for women. Currently, she serves on national committees for the Society of Surgical Oncology, and she is a breast surgical oncology fellowship site reviewer for the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

When I’m not in the office, Dr. Rueth enjoys being outdoors, traveling, exploring new restaurants and spending time with my husband and teenagers. Visiting California wine country is an annual trip for me. Being near water is my happy place, so she is obviously thrilled to be in South Florida.

Cancer is in my genes – literally and figuratively

Cancer is in my genes – literally and figuratively. When I was in college both my paternal aunt and my paternal grandmother passed away – 3 years apart, both in February, they both had breast cancer, as well as other health complications.

My Diagnosis of breast cancer and testing positive for BRCA 1 with no family history.

Some mornings I wake up thinking or maybe its me pretending to be just a normal person, but then I put my fingers through my hair and it all flashes back like a bad nightmare. I remember that the reason I have little hair is because I recently had to fight for my life and the fight is something that I’ll always have to do.
