Dr. Tchabo currently works at Atlantic Women’s Cancer Associates, a part of Atlantic Health System Morristown and Overlook Medical Centers. As part of her responsibilities, the doctor coordinates unified, comprehensive care integrating various treatments including minimally invasive surgery; chemotherapy; radiation therapy; along with supportive care services.
