About
Philosophy of care
I treat everyone as if they were a member of my own family. Patient-centered care is important to me and I make sure you fully understand your diagnosis and all treatment options.
Why I entered medicine
I’m a hands-on person, someone who’s interested in what makes things work. I’ve always been intrigued by the human body and how it works.
My interest in medicine was first sparked in my childhood. I was only 4 when my sister was born and had to be airlifted for emergency surgery. The operation was successful and I remember the surgeon being this larger than life figure to me.
I started out my college career majoring in pharmaceutical product development, but it soon became clear that the only place I would be happy was in medicine.
Personal interests
I’m the mother of two and love spending time with my children. I’m an avid New York Yankees and New York Giants fan and love golf and running.

Comments
"Wonderful care and very thorough."
"I asked Dr. Bott several questions. Those applicable to my care with her were answered. With others, she redirected me to the more appropriate person in my breast care team. She never made my feel rushed; I was most important to her at that time."
"Dr. Bott is the absolute best surgeon and I would recommend her and all of LVHN at The Cancer Center and Bartonsville LVHN Women's Center. Dr. Bott is professional, friendly, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. She listens to you and addresses any of your questions or concerns. I am forever grateful for Dr. Bott taking such wonderful care of me and my health needs. She is the best."
