Overview
Cancer Focus:
Esophageal Cancer, Lung Cancer, Mesothelioma, Pancoast Tumor, ThymomaDr. Baldonado received her MD degree from the University of the Philippines College of Medicine. She remained at the University of the Philippines to complete an integrated residency in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. She then completed a Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Moffitt Cancer Center, followed by a Cardiovascular Surgery Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Baldonado’s clinical interests are in minimally invasive lung cancer and esophageal cancer surgery, including lobectomy, segmentectomy, esophagectomy, and the management of chest wall tumors. Her research interests focus on ground glass opacities as initial presentation of lung cancers as well as surgical outcomes.

Patient Comments
197 patients rated this provider
The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.
Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.
