Dr. Dirk P. Pikaart, DO

I seek to treat patients how they would like to be treated, respecting who they are and where they are at in their cancer treatment. I understand that a diagnosis of cancer can be very scary and threaten to kill, steel and destroy a persons hopes and dreams. I have helped thousands of women reclaim their hopes and dreams giving them a second chance. At Southern Colorado Gynecologic Oncology (SCGO) we offer safe, private and loving care making a very difficult time as easy as possible. 

I believe the best care can only be offered by places that do high volume of specialized care  consistently. At SCGO we have done large volumes with well established highly trained teams of people at each step of the cancer treatment process for over 8 years. We have excellent outcomes.

I provide an integrative approach to cancer treatment taking into account lifestyle, spirituality, the mind and body. Without addressing these aspects we are treating the disease not the person.

I have spent the better part of my life training and obtaining the education required to become a Gynecologic Oncologist. I am trained to treat all aspects of Gynecologic cancers and manage the care and follow up of patients with gynecologic cancers or complicated surgical issues. This includes all aspects of surgery involved, some of which are very large and complicated. I am also trained in the administration of chemotherapy and managing the associated issues with chemotherapy. Gynecologic Oncology is the only surgical specialty that prescribes and manages chemotherapy. This unique feature provides an unprecedented level of continuity of care for my patients not seen in any other area of medicine. This continuity allows for less delays, less miss-communication, less insurance issues, uncomfortable new patient visits and exams. I believe this ultimately results in better outcomes for my patients.
