Meet the Doctor

Hello, I'm Monika Arya. I'm a physician in hematology-oncology. I am originally from India. I did my medical schooling and training in internal medicine there, then eventually moved to the U.S. for higher training, repeated a residency, followed by a fellowship in hematology-oncology, and I've been practicing the same for several years now. I was in Miami for a few years, and we came to southwest Florida for vacation, and I really, really liked the area, and was looking into this area to move on a permanent basis for a job, and eventually looked at Lee Health, really found that their principles and the care and cancer center jived well with my thought process, and I thought we would be mutually a wonderful fit, and that was the reason I came and joined here in late 2021. So early on in my life as a child, I had my first rush with oncology. My grandmother had a cancer for which she was on prolonged treatment for several, several years, and in the course of her illness, I came in touch with several oncologists, and the compassion that was involved in her care, the various aspects of life of a patient that they addressed, that really drew me into the field. So it was very early on in my school life that I was set that I was going to become a doctor and eventually an oncologist. So that was that. Once I joined Lee Health, I have really enjoyed working, and it only gets better every day. The team here that we have, the support system, the administrative staff that we have, they're just amazing. I can't tell you how much I look forward to coming to work on an everyday basis. My other favorite role is being a wife and a mom. So I have two children, school going, so majority of my life is outside work. It's taking care of them, their school, their after school activities and stuff. But I do enjoy in my free time, music, watching movies, basically relaxing, taking long walks, singing to some degree, though that has taken a back seat in the past few years. But yeah, those are the big ones.
