About Carrie Luu and Banner Safety Practices

Care Philosophy

My goal is to build trusting and supportive relationships with my patients. I am committed to providing high level care that also values the autonomy and dignity of my patients.

Specializing In

I specialize in complex gastrointestinal cancers, including cancers of the stomach and intestine. I also treat certain types of cancers which has spread to the peritoneum with a procedure called cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). In my practice I utilize many surgical techniques, including robotic and laparoscopic surgery, to enhance recovery after surgery.

Interests & Activities

I am a foodie who loves to cook and experiment with new recipes. My favorite form of exercise is browsing farmer markets, though I do enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities. Outside of work, I spend most of my free time chasing after two very adventurous toddlers.

All Banner facilities are pleased to provide interpretation services to our patients and their companions for no charge - just ask when you arrive.
