Susan P. Salter, MD

Radiation Oncologist

Dr. Susan Salter is a board-certified radiation oncologist known for her compassionate, patient-centered approach to cancer care.

Play Introduction

Practicing at the Bruno Cancer Center in Birmingham, Alabama—on the former St. Vincent’s campus, now part of UAB Health Systems—Dr. Salter operates independently while collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team to provide cutting-edge treatments in a supportive, community-focused environment.

Raised in a family of physicians, Dr. Salter brings both deep-rooted medical expertise and personal empathy to her work. Inspired by her mother, a longtime radiation oncologist, she chose the specialty to blend science with service, guiding patients through some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

She is especially known for her use of advanced techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy, with a strong focus on reducing side effects and improving quality of life. Dr. Salter believes in treating the whole patient—not just the disease—through personalized care, emotional support, and ongoing innovation.

Outside of her medical practice, Dr. Salter lives in Mountain Brook with her husband and their two children. Her family life inspires her continued involvement in the local community and deepens her commitment to caring for others with empathy and integrity.
