As breast surgeons, we manage and treat patients diagnosed with breast cancer, patients at increased risk for developing breast cancer based on family history or have a known genetic mutation, and manage patients who need surgery for benign and high risk lesions. We work in a multi-disciplinary manner with a team of doctors to make sure that every patient gets the latest treatment approaches to breast cancer care. Our goal is to make sure that every patient is supported through the entire process from diagnosis through surgery. We have an entire team to help our patients through the process.
