while you are contemplating who to use give consideration to Dr. Celia Nelson.
She is the surgeon who did my wife's lumpectomy. She is a very warm, personable, patient caring/focused doctor. She is very detailed in her diagnosing and treatment. She has a very competetent list of support recommendations for what ever treatment will be required post surgery.

Be sure to ask about the procedure, 7 years ago, called mammosite. Minimal invasion. Install a port for radiation to be robotically applied. One week, 7 days twice per day. The alternative is whole breast radiation which goes on for very many weeks and of course involves much more tissue exposure.

She has a very warm and friendly bedside manner. Keeps patient and family well informed. There is no wondering what she said or meant sfter a session with her.

I hope this gives you an option for consideration.
