About Anne Peled, M.D.
Based in San Francisco, Dr.
Anne Peled is a surgeon, an educator, a researcher, a mother, an athlete, and a breast cancer survivor.
Just a few years into starting her own thriving breast cancer and plastic surgery practice, Anne was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, which gives her the unusual perspective of both the expert and the patient.
This has also only strengthened her dedication to provide the most empathic and personal care for her patients, to research and innovate the most cutting-edge techniques and practices for breast cancer surgery and reconstruction, and to educate her peers and the public on the best care and prevention for breast cancer and breast health.
Originally from Washington, DC, Dr.
Peled moved to San Francisco after attending Amherst College and Harvard Medical School to complete a plastic and reconstructive surgery residency and a breast surgical oncology fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco.
She is the co-director of the Breast Care Center of Excellence at Sutter Health California Pacific Medical Center and has extensive research experience focused on improving outcomes after breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction.
Dr.
Peled also regularly teaching at courses across the U.
S. to increase awareness around these approaches.
With her husband Dr.
Ziv Peled, also a board-certified plastic surgeon, she is currently pioneering an entirely new way of treating breast cancer with a combined mastectomy and reconstruction technique that preserves the nipple, the skin, and the sensation, with manageable recovery and hospital time.
She started researching this method of surgery when she herself was faced with the decision about what treatment to have for breast cancer, and there was no option like this available to her at that time.
Her goal is, and always has been, for women to come out of her care feeling stronger than they ever have been, and it is this holistic approach to healthcare that is the underpinning to her practice and her teaching.

Why Invite Anne Peled, M.D. as a Guest?
Dr. Anne Peled – Breast Cancer Surgeon, Researcher, and Two-Time Survivor Dr. Anne Peled is a board-certified plastic surgeon and breast cancer specialist who brings an unmatched depth of insight to conversations about patient-centered innovation in cancer care. She is nationally recognized for co-developing the sensation-preserving mastectomy — a groundbreaking surgical approach that allows many women to maintain breast and nipple sensation after cancer surgery. What makes Dr. Peled uniquely powerful as a podcast guest is her dual perspective: she is both a surgeon and a breast cancer survivor. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer at age 37, and now, seven years later, she has been diagnosed a second time at 44. This fall, she will undergo the same sensation-preserving mastectomy procedure she pioneered — performed in part by her husband and surgical partner, Dr. Ziv Peled, who co-developed the technique with her and specializes in peripheral nerve surgery. Her story is deeply personal, yet widely impactful — offering hope, transparency, and actionable insight to both patients and providers. She has trained surgeons nationally in this procedure, contributed to peer-reviewed research on surgical innovation and patient outcomes, and continues to be a leading voice in redefining what breast cancer recovery can look and feel like. Dr. Peled has been featured in outlets including Good Morning America, SELF, Forbes, and Marie Claire, and her work is reshaping the standard of care for women around the world.
