Being told that you have breast cancer can be an overwhelming experience. Coping with the uncertainty, and finding the information you need to make decisions about your treatment plan, and what is best for your life, can be stressful and exhausting. As a breast surgeon, I have the privilege of helping my patients find the answers they are seeking; empowering them to make informed decisions. My passion is to provide excellent personalized care to every patient and to treat each one with compassion and understanding.
