Mindy Williams, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in a woman. Breast cancer can be very treatable. With regards to early detection, every woman needs to be having mammograms starting at the age of 40. Every woman needs to be taught how to do a self-breast exam. These things help to detect breast cancer early. These things help to save lives. As your physician, I promise to take care of you like I would take care of my family.
-
Mary Hayes, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
Women fear mammograms, and sometimes it's just fear of the unknown. Mammography is a quick and simple test. The breast is immobilized and compressed for a few seconds. There might be some minor discomfort, but I promise you that breast cancer and untreated breast cancer hurts much more than a screening mammogram. As your physician, I promise to reach for better tools to diagnose and screen women in our community earlier and better and more safely every day.
-
Ana Botero, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
Every patient is unique. You have to look at the patient and tailor the treatment for that patient. At Memorial, we take the time to talk to the patient. As your physician, I promise to help you to understand your disease, your diagnosis and your treatment.
-
Mayra Frau-Reyna, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
At Memorial Healthcare System, patients get a unified approach to their disease. The diagnosis of breast cancer is not a death sentence. You're going to have some hard times coming up, but you're going to beat this, and we are going to be here to help you beat this. As your physician, I promise to be your personal radiologist, to be there for you.
-
Aruna Mani, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Servicess
What I liked most about oncology is that it feels like old-style medicine, where you really get to know your patients over a long period of time. As oncologist, we are constantly learning, collaborating and coming up with better ways to deliver patient care. As your physician, I promise to always be honest with you.
-
Tejal Patel, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
Everyone knows somebody who has had treatment of breast cancer, and there is a lot of misinformation out there. When I have a patient with breast cancer, the very first thing that I want to know is what they know about breast cancer. Once they understand their disease, it doesn't seem as daunting anymore. As your physician, I promise to be your champion.
-
Carmen Calfa, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
To treat breast cancer, you need an entire team. We should all agree that if a woman has average risk factors, she should have her first mammogram at age 40. It's a challenge to be diagnosed with breast cancer. It's a challenge to go through the treatment and to recover from breast cancer. The woman is never the same, but I think she can come out of the treatment in a better version of herself. As your physician, I promise I will treat you as if you were my family.
-
Maricer Escalon, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
Breast cancer is unique. We see women of all ages, and we're starting to see a younger patient population. Some of that is due to early detection and improved technologies. Surprisingly, men also get breast cancer, and they should learn about their family history and risk factors. As your physician, I promise to be your strongest advocate.
-
Phyllis Neimark, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
Breast cancer is a battle. My patients are my heroes, and they know I'm there to give them my full support! As a physician, I promise to educate you, guide you, support you and make you whole.
-
Alejandra Perez, MD, Memorial Breast Cancer Services
Breast cancer is all about early detection, and it is important that we detect this disease at an early stage because that is really what will lead to a cure. There are many risk factors, but I always say the most important risk factor is being a woman. As a physician, I promise to be with you all through your journey of breast cancer.
