Following her training, Dr. Schaefer-Cutillo practiced in upstate New York and later at the Northwell Cancer Institute at Northern Westchester Hospital before joining Virginia Oncology Associates in 2022. Throughout her career, she has received numerous honors, including awards for excellence in research, publication of multiple peer-reviewed papers, election as a New York State Top Doctor for several years, and the “40 Under 40 Mover and Shaker” award from the Dutchess County Chamber of Commerce. She has also been featured in Hudson Valley Magazine and Westchester Magazine.

Dr. Schaefer-Cutillo is deeply committed to community involvement.
