Do you know of a good NYC breast specialist?

July 3, 2009 - 2:51pm 259 reads 1 comments

We have an EmpowHer reader who would like to find a doctor in NYC to take a look at a lump in her breast. She has had previous breast surgery but had a bad experience, but this new lump concerns her.

Here's her story:

If you know of a good breast cancer doctor or breast specialist that you would recommend in NYC, please let us know. You can either add it here, add it to her thread, or click on my name (in orange by my photograph) and send it to me privately.

Thanks so much! EmpowHer readers never let us down!

Thanks for asking Diane. We asked Lillie Shockney, Director of the Johns Hopkins Breast Center for her recommendation based on the previously posed question and here's what she had to say ...

"She needs a breast radiologist to do a diagnostic work up. ADH isn't dormant cancer either. All it is are some abnormal cells -- not even precancer. I'd go to MSK personally and have it done in their breast imaging center. All of their team is good."

And here's the link to MSK.
