Samantha Edwards

As Dr. Edwards was working toward her doctorate in naturopathic medicine, she helped a friend who was her age through cancer treatment. The experience inspired her to learn more about how naturopathic could be used in conjunction with cancer treatments to help people feel stronger throughout their fight and possibly reduce side effects.

Dr. Edwards completed her residency in naturopathic support at Cancer Treatment Centers of America Tulsa, and in July 2014, she joined City of Hope Chicago. She provides consultation regarding safe use of dietary supplements that may help patients reduce side effects that may be caused by treatment. Dr. Edwards earned a doctorate degree in naturopathic medicine from National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois, and received a Bachelor of Arts in piano performance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

When Dr. Edwards is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, playing the piano and violin, and ballroom dancing.
