Dr. Kilgore Brings Gynecologic-Oncology Care 'Home'
Nationally-recognized physician Larry Kilgore, MD, has brought his expertise in diagnosing and treating women with cancer of the reproductive organs to the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine as Professor and Chief of Obstetric and Gynecology's Division of Gynecologic Oncology.
Originally from East Tennessee, Dr. Kilgore built his career at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department where he focused on patient care, the delivery of excellent service, and advanced cancer therapies, including robotic surgery and clinical research. When robotic surgery was approved for use in gynecologic oncology, Dr. Kilgore took it upon himself to be among the first trained so that he could offer his patients minimally invasive surgery that results in shorter hospital stays, quicker recoveries, less pain and smaller incisions.
At UAB Dr. Kilgore served as a Professor and held the J. Max Austin Endowed Chair in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, he was a senior scientist for the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center, fellowship director for gynecologic oncology, and residency program director in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Additionally, Dr. Kilgore has published more than 100 articles and serves as a board examiner for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Specialty Boards in Gynecologic Oncology.
John Bell, MD, Professor and Chief, Surgery's Division of Surgical Oncology, said, "We are truly blessed to have a physician of Dr. Kilgore's caliber join our faculty. He brings the 'entire package' with his outstanding clinical care, proven academic skills and extraordinary teaching capabilities. We are thankful for his desire to be a part of our team."
Dr. Kilgore said the mission of the Graduate School of Medicine aligns with his personal values to focus on patient care, research and education.
"This is a call home for me. I love caring for patients, advancing robotic surgery, and training resident physicians and medical students. There are fascinating opportunities at the Graduate School of Medicine."
Esteemed by the community and welcomed home, Dr. Kilgore was recently featured in the Fall 2009 issue of Frontiers magazine and in the Physician Spotlight in East Tennessee Medical News.
