April Smith Mendoza, M.D.
April Smith Mendoza was born in San Antonio, Texas but spent most of her formative years right here in Florida. She graduated from Leesburg High School with honors and was designated a Florida Academic Scholar. She accepted a Presidential Scholarship at West Virginia University graduating Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Accounting. Upon passing the Certified Public Accountant examination, she spent a year with a large accounting firm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

However, a love of science and medicine compelled her to return to West Virginia University to pursue pre-medical studies. Dr. Mendoza graduated from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia where she stayed to complete her residency in radiation oncology and serve as chief resident. Dedicated to clinical research, Dr. Mendoza has authored publications and directed studies on multiple topics including thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

Returning to Florida to be near her family, Dr. Mendoza joined Florida Radiation Oncology Group in 2005 and is currently Medical Director of Flagler Cancer Center in St. Augustine. She is a member of the Flagler Hospital Cancer Committee, and has served as Chair of the Committee as well as Community Outreach Coordinator. She is board certified by the American College of Radiology and is also a member of several professional organizations including American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, American Society for Clinical Oncology, American Medical Association and American College of Radiology.

Dr. Mendoza and her husband have a son, a daughter, two dogs and a cat, who are all very happy to be in the warm Florida weather. Their spare time usually revolves around the children and includes visits to the beach, historical sites or just enjoying the outdoors.
