Virginia Chiantella, Breast Surgeon Virginia Chiantella obtained her undergraduate degree at Georgetown University, and received her MD degree from the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She completed her surgery specialty training at the Wake Forest University Medical Center, where she was the first female to complete the Surgery training program. She spent a year at the University Medical Center as the Bradshaw Surgery Research Fellow, participating in award-winning cardiac surgery research, and was Chief Resident in Surgery there in 1989. Dr. Chiantella has been in private surgery practice in Northern Virginia since that time, and her practice is now limited exclusively to the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the breast. She has been Chief of Surgery at Inova Loudoun Hospital on two occasions, and she is the volunteer Medical Director of the only regional free clinic for breast disease evaluation. She is a member of the American Society of Breast Surgeons, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and her practice is a member of the National Consortium of Breast Centers. Although she practices out of facilities in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties in Northern Virginia, her practice has a large draw regionally, with loyal patients returning to be seen from as far away as Florida and London. Dr. Chiantella has been called one of "America's Top Surgeons".
