Dr. Turner enjoys his role as a pathologist in the community and often relies on his experience as a family practitioner during his evaluation of cases. "The biggest difference, of course, is the decrease in patient care contact," he has been known to say. "But there's a unique dynamic I often feel with clinicians' as a result of my experience with patient care. The information I provide in a signed out report is grounded in the sincere appreciation of the conundrums that often occur in formulating diagnosis and treatment plans for the patient, including the emotional conflicts that often arise during this decision making process".
Dr. Turner and his wife, Dr. Stella King-Turner, an Associate Professor in the Departments of Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine at URMC, are parents of three children: twins Alyssa and Benjamin, age 13, and Colin, age 10. Dr. Turner also serves on the board of directors of the Anthony L. Jordan Health Corporation, as well as the Black Physicians Network of Greater Rochester, a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization with the vision of "Black physicians partnering with each other and the community to address disparities in healthcare and promote excellence and innovation in our youth." Brad is also very active in his fraternity Sigma Pi Phi, Gamma Iota Chapter. He enjoys music, sports, and reading in his spare time.
Dr. Turner's influences, like his professional assignments, are diverse. Among them: Dr. I-Tien Yeh, previously Director of the Core Pathology lab for the Cancer Research and Therapy Center at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and Dr. Fattaneh Tavassoli, Professor of Pathology, Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine. Another is Dr. James Henry, a neuropathologist with a military background whom Dr. Turner said "commanded me to apply to Yale during a chance hallway conversation. He recognized potential in me - and told me. I will always be grateful to him for that. One's destiny can truly be affected by a chance hallway conversation."
And, one more influence: Benjamin Franklin, author of one of Dr. Turners favorite quotes--
"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."
Professional Background
Dr. Turner completed a residency at the University of Florida, College of Medicine (Gainesville) in 2009, while also finishing a second Master degree in Health Administration (MHA) at the University of South Florida, College of Public Health (Tampa). He subsequently completed fellowships in general surgical pathology at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, TX (2010), oncologic surgical pathology at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY (2011), and breast and gynecologic pathology at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, CT (2012).
Today, Dr. Turner serves as a faculty member on the breast and gynecologic pathology subspecialty services in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at URMC. He provides anatomic pathology services at both Highland Hospital and Strong Memorial Hospital, while also providing clinical pathology services at Highland Hospital. Dr. Turner also continues to provide direct patient care services, providing urgent care consultation services in Rochester.
Dr. Turner has research interests in cancer biology and cancer outcomes, including pathologic and non-pathologic correlates of breast cancer outcomes, the role of the tumor microenvironment in breast cancer outcomes, and the role of health care disparities in breast cancer outcomes. He has authored or co-authored several recent publications including: Use of modified Magee equations and histologic criteria to predict the Oncotype DX® recurrence score (Mod Pathology, 2015); Pathologic Diagnosis, Immunohistochemistry, Multigene Assays and Breast Cancer Treatment: Progress toward 'Precision' Cancer Therapy (Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2015); and, Nomograms to predict the likelihood of upgrade of Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia diagnosed on a core needle biopsy in mammographically detected lesions (Histopathology, 2014). He also stays active in the primary care literature, having recently authored a chapter with Dr. David Hicks on breast cancer in the popular family medicine text book Family Medicine: Principles and Practices, 7th edition (2016).
