About Melinda Okosun and Banner Safety Practices

Care Philosophy

I strive to develop trust with my patients and to be as compassionate as possible. My goal is to treat them the same way I would want my loved ones to be treated. I want my patients to know that they can depend on me and that I care deeply about them.

Specializing In

Breast Surgical Oncology
High-Risk Breast Cancer

Interests & Activities

I enjoy being active and exercising and I start my mornings with strength training and conditioning classes at a workout studio I love. I have 2 kids that keep me very busy with their activities and involvement in sports. My husband and I both love soccer, so watching our kids play this sport is so fun. I also have a love of interior design and enjoy exploring this interest when I have time.

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