Other Information
When not working, Dr. Caruso spends time skiing and hiking out of her home at 10,000 feet in Keystone, Colorado. She and her husband own and operate a farm in Tobia, Viterbo, Lazio, 40 miles north of her hometown of Rome, Italy. In Tobia they produce olive oil derived from their olive orchards and organically farm vegetables, fruits, nuts and herbs in an ancient and picturesque setting of 2500 year old Etruscan-carved caves and tunnels. Dr Caruso and her husband have two children. Their daughter, Elisa, manages a wine and olive oil importing business, Volio Imports, based in Denver, Colorado and focuses on creating authentic Italian cultural experiences. Their son, Alessandro, leads mergers and acquisitions for Press Ganey, the largest patient experience company in the world, based in Boston, Massachusetts.
Why a patient should choose treatment at your practice?
I was fortunate to train at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, which has perennially been ranked as the nation’s best hospital in the U.S News and World Report’s “Best Hospital” rankings and is generally regarded as the leading medical center in the world. Following my training at Mayo Clinic, I was a medical school faculty member at one of the leading medical schools in the United States and have been a Texas Oncology radiation oncologist for 21 years where I practice with outstanding partners and staff at Texas Oncology.
What is your personal philosophy around patient care?
I seek to meet each patient’s needs through exceptional collaborative patient-centered care.
