Shouq A Kherallah, MD

Biographical Statement

Dr. Kherallah is a provider specialized in Hematology and Medical Oncology, with a focused subspecialty in Breast Medical Oncology. This means she cares for both women and men diagnosed with breast cancer, whether it is early-stage (localized) or advanced (metastatic) disease. Her training has equipped her to guide patients through every phase of their cancer journey — from diagnosis and treatment to long-term follow-up and survivorship.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and every diagnosis is deeply personal. She believes that each patient deserves a tailored care plan based on the latest medical evidence and shaped by their unique needs, values, and goals.

She is fluent in Arabic and English and committed to providing patient-centered care in a way that is clear, compassionate, and culturally sensitive. She works closely with a comprehensive multidisciplinary medical team, including breast surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, genetic counselors, nurses, and supportive care specialists — all working together to ensure every patient receives coordinated and holistic care.

She is currently accepting new patients and considers it a privilege to support individuals and families during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Her mission is to act in each patient’s best interest, to advocate for them, and to walk alongside them — with empathy, medical expertise, and unwavering dedication — in the fight against cancer. Whenever possible, her goal is cure; always, her goal is hope and support.

Care Philosophy

Patient centered, efficient, high value care from cancer diagnosis to survivorship of breast cancer.

Research Interests

I am interested in exploring response in patients with triple negative breast cancer and tailoring therapeutic approaches according to patient demographics and cancer characteristics.
