About the Provider

Dr. Styblo is a surgical oncologist specializing in the treatment of breast cancer, and has been a faculty member of the Emory Department of Surgery since 1988. She is the Georgia State Representative for the Association of Women Surgeons, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a member of numerous medical societies including the Society of Surgical Oncology, American Society of Breast Surgeons and the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Her awards include American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer Cancer Liaison Physician Outstanding Performance Award, Top Doctors in Atlanta, Best Doctors in America, America's Top Surgeons, Patient's Choice Physician, and Most Compassionate Doctor. 

Since joining Emory, Dr. Styblo has been active both locally and nationally in clinical and translational research. Of particular note are her research collaborations with the late Dr. John Bostwick in skin-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction, with Emory radiologist Dr. Naomi Alazraki in clinical trials to establish sentinel lymph node biopsy as a standard of care for axillary staging, and with Emory plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Albert Losken in the use of oncoplastic reduction to improve the outcome of patients having breast conserving therapy.

In 2014, Dr. Styblo was appointed chair of the Emory Integrated Cancer Network of Winship Cancer Institute, which linked cancer treatment providers and staff at Emory University Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, and Emory Johns Creek Hospital. During the next year, she concentrated on achieving the required qualifications to be recognized by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (ACS CoC) as an official integrated network cancer program, and in 2016, the ACS CoC granted the network full accreditation. She serves as a Network Physician Surveyor for the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons.

    Dr. Styblo was very kind, personable, and explained things well, however while addressing me, she usually looked at my husband instead. This made us both a little uncomfortable. I wanted to stand up and tell her I was right here in front of her and she could look at me.

    Dr. Styblo is an excellent clinician. I am lucky to have found her. She has an excellent bedside manner, and is very caring, personable, and also very down to earth. She explained everything to me before and after the surgery and during the post-op visit. She really put my mind at rest right before surgery and she did such an excellent job of taking care of me and the procedure went extremely well.

She fielded all my questions and helped me to understand the timing of the procedure, and gave me the medical information that I needed to make a decision I have always found her to be helpful and informative.

    Dr. Styblo carefully explained my mammograms and explained that my cancer was caught very early. She discussed why she wanted additional tests before I have surgery. She explained why I don't need to have genetic testing unless I want it. She discussed what my surgery would involve. And she explained the risks and benefits of hormone suppression medications. I felt much more comfortable after meeting and talking with her. My diagnosis had come as a shock. She helped me to see it as something we would treat and then I'd get on with my life. I appreciated her candor and her humor.
