  Breast Surgeon & Co-Founder

  I'm a breast surgeon and co-founder at the women-led Bedford Breast Center - a facility dedicated to screening, early detection and surgeons who take into account the importance of aesthetics as well as curing disease.I specialize in nipple sparing mastectomies and breast conserving therapy (lumpectomies and oncoplastic surgery). While in Atlanta, I devised the Goldilocks Mastectomy along with my plastic surgery colleague, Dr. Grace Ma and published the definitive paper describing the application of the procedure and initial cases. This procedure reconstructs a breast using the patient’s own tissue, eliminating the need for additional flaps or implants. Show less
