Dr. Stebel completed her Hematology-Oncology fellowship through UCI and the Long Beach VA Hospital in 1990. After that, she spent a year in practice with Dr. John Link learning breast oncology. During this time she had the opportunity to study mammography under Dr. Laszlo Tabar and breast pathology with Roland Holland. She also had the opportunity study breast genetics at its origination prior to gene mutations being identified. She has received a diploma from the School of Breast Oncology in Atlanta, Georgia, after completing intensive certifying course and exam.

Dr. Stebel is board certified in Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology. She is a member of the American Society of Breast Diseases, The National Consortium of Breast Centers, The International Society of Risk Management for Breast Cancer, The American Society of Clinical Oncology. She has received a certification as a clinical breast examiner.

VOLUNTEER WORK

Being committed to breast health, Dr. Stebel has served on the board for the American Cancer Society and was instrumental in establishing the chapter of North Orange County Chapter for breast cancer. She has presented many seminars for training breast cancer survivors who go on to volunteer to newly diagnosed patients.

Dr. Stebel also volunteers for the Susan Komen Breast Foundation in various capacities.  She has given many presentations to organizations such Why Me and Hadassah. In her interest of education, please contact Dr. Stebel if your group in interested in a presentation regarding breast cancer treatment, prevention or genetic testing.

PHILOSOPHY

"Breast cancer is not a disease of one organ system. It affects the entire person, partner and family". To this end, Dr. Stebel spends a tremendous amount of time with the entire family discussing how this diagnosis affects the dynamics of the family and ways to cope. I don't believe any other cancer has such social implications and life-long changes.
