Northwest Health welcomes board-certified, fellowship-trained breast surgical oncologist Christopher A. Menendez, MD, FACS, to the medical staff, practicing at Northwest Breast Care Associates.
Menendez practices the surgical treatment of breast disease, specifically breast cancer. In practice for more than 15 years, Menendez was the first surgeon in the state of Arkansas to use a non-radioactive wire-free localization system during breast conservation surgeries.
He received a medical education at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. After a general surgery residency at the Mt. Sinai-Cabrini program in New York City, Menendez completed a breast surgical oncology fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Menendez is board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He also has breast ultrasound and stereotactic breast biopsy certifications from the American Society of Breast Surgeons.
Menendez is currently accepting new patients at his office, located 5501 Willow Creek Drive, Suite 202, in Springdale, Ark.
