I felt very confident in the team that was caring for me.

02/22/2024

My visit was for a second opinion for a breast cancer diagnosis and course of treatment. The doc was confident and I did receive the information I needed. I did however end up scheduling my treatment elsewhere based on a referral from a friend who had a good experience.

I love Dr. Porpiglia she is very professional and very friendly she's the best.

[...] The care I received was excellent in every way.

This visit was for a second opinion. But had I gone to Dr. Propiglia initially I would not have hesitated to have her do my procedure.
