My entire experience has been very positive. Every employee that I have dealt with is friendly and supportive, I really like my surgeon Dr. Ching-Tismal. She has been straight forward with me and has eased some of the fears that I have had. Her staff has been great. If I have a question, all I have to do is call. Before my surgery I had several people who were part of the surgeons team, come to me and introduce themselves. During that visit they told me what their jobs were going to be during my surgery. It meant a lot to me that they would take the time to speak with me. I would definitely recommend MD Anderson and Dr. Ching-Tismal to anyone needing care.

Better teamwork. When you have breast cancer, and only get a few words after surgery..And you have been told you can get your results by calling prior to your post-op appointment (although it is scary)--communication is important. Not to know what went on in surgery, whether you will need another surgery or even your prognosis for survival--and you live in another state---but have to wait for the next appointment with someone you've never met--it is even more frightening. I say this, understanding that turnover is high and we are in a Pandemic. But things like surgery and biopsy results are critical to the patient. Their stress is huge. The least they can do is call you back, after you have requested it.

It seems to be more about money than ???Just to make sure??? especially after they have already done a mammogram, ultrasound And Have done a biopsy! Why do additional MRI AND another biopsy? Makes us think that not enough interpretation of results or poor communication occurred.
