About

Leah Stockton, MD, completed her General Surgery residency at University of Texas Health in San Antonio Texas and her Complex General Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Fox Chase Cancer Center at Temple Health in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. As a board certified surgical oncologist and general surgeon, Dr. Leah Stockton performs pancreatectomy (distal and Whipple), liver resections, cholecystectomies, bile duct resections, gastrectomy, small bowel resection, colon resection, appendectomy, splenectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, skin cancer resections, and retroperitoneal tumor resection. She also has a special interest in robotic and minimally invasive surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, melanoma and sarcoma.

Philosophy of Care

As a cancer surgeon, I often meet patients during one of the worst periods of their lives. In light of this, I take every effort to make this dark period a little easier to navigate. I work with each patient to customize their care to their unique needs and situation that they are experiencing to maximize the benefit they will receive from their treatment. I will work collaboratively with the other providers involved in their care to maximize a positive outcome. I promise every patient and their family to be compassionate, honest, and provide a helping hand at every point along the way.

In the Media

Idahoans love the outdoors. Dr. Stockton tells us that among the beauty that is the Gem State, we must beware of the danger that is skin cancer.

Idaho ranks first in the nation for deaths due to melanoma how can we protect ourselves from harmful rays?

Dr. Stockton was very caring and personable to my son and I. She was very informative and explained all the options to us about my surgery. She seemed very positive on the outcome and it made my feel a lot better personally as I had uncertainty inside me and she reinforced a positive change of thought for me.
