I highly recommend Dr Lisa Spiguel at UF Shands. Excellent care by this facility. I have no problem with local physicians but when it comes to breast cancer, I would go to a larger facility. I have been a patient of Dr Spiguel for 5 years and could not be more pleased with my treatment. UF Shands will work with you in planning any tests appointments etc, all in the same day, if they know you are traveling that far for appointments. We have found the facility to run like clock-work with their scheduling. Good Luck. Just call University of Florida, Shands and request Dr Lisa Spiguel. You will be pleased.

Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa is a good choice.

Dr. Celia Nelson.....very caring doctor totally focused on the patient and family.

There are so many specialists and follow up required....she made recommendations that took much the work and anxiety out of the process.

My wife has been cancer free for over 10 years!!!!!

I think Dr. Samuel Bundz is an excellent surgeon.

As you may know, there are several types of breast cancer. It's important that you obtain and study the results of your own imaging and pathology reports. In case you don't have it, "Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book" is an excellent resource. It is a big encyclopedia, but well written, compassionate, and understandable. I was diagnosed this year with a cancer found by Senobrite mammography. After thinking about the stress of traveling outside the area, I settled on Dr. Boris Mascarenhas with Waterman Hospital in Tavares. I was also a candidate for brachytherapy, partial breast radiation, that took place in Tavares twice a day for a period of five days. If you'd like more information, just PM me.
