Biography

A Virginia Beach native and son of a physician, Dr. Goudar attended the University of Virginia as a Jefferson Scholar. He earned his medical degree and completed his residency in internal medicine and fellowship in hematology/oncology at Duke University. He is a graduate of the City of Hope’s Intensive Course in Cancer Risk Assessment.

As Division Chief of Hematology and Oncology at Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences/EVMS, he supervises the training of internal medicine residents. He is the author of several research publications and book chapters and has given multiple national presentations on various aspects of cancer genetic testing.

His clinical interests focus on the care of patients at high risk of cancer due to family history or genetic mutations, and patients with breast cancer and colorectal cancers. As director of the Hereditary Cancer Program at Virginia Oncology Associates, he evaluates a patient’s risk of cancer and works with them to develop a personalized cancer screening plan. He prioritizes spending time with his patients, helping them deal with complex issues that affect their own health and potentially the health of their families.

Dr. Goudar notes that “chemotherapy can save one life, but identifying an inherited mutation can save a family.”
