| Summary: | Breast cancer specialist Dr. Rogsbert Frenzel Phillips was born on July 12, 1948 in Newnan, Georgia. Phillips attended the University of Georgia and graduated in 1970. She also attended and graduated from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons with her M.D. degree. In 1982, Phillips became the first African American woman to complete the general surgery program at Emory University. Phillips started her general surgery practice in Atlanta, Georgia, deciding to specialize in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. In 1989, Phillips founded Sisters...By Choice, a support group providing educational, emotional, spiritual and physical resources to breast cancer survivors, their families and other health care professionals. In 2000, Phillips participated in conducting experimental surgical procedures to detect and prevent breast cancer called ductal lavage. This procedure could lead to the prevention of possible future breast cancer patients and could save future lives. Phillips lived in Lithonia, Georgia.
