Finding good oncologist and surgeon for breast cancer in MI.

Sam1230

I have looked at several websites: Josephine Ford Cancer Institute at Henry Ford Health System, The Multidisciplinary Breast Care Clinic at U-Michigan comprehensive cancer center, Beaumont Cancer Center of Excellence, Karmanos Cancer Center at Wayne State University. But I couldn't find any comparison or any site that provides information from people who used them. There is another place for breast cancer in SE Michigan, the St. Joe's Mercy Hospital. I hope some of you may have some answers.

Oncs whose nursing and other staff include a significant number of those who have had breast cancer, and/or who have been through treatment personally, and who are not young people with lots of estrogen (and lots of sprightly inexperienced advice for us older folks) get my vote....

I live in Ohio and chose to go to University of Michigan Breast Care Clinic last October, 2011.  I cannot say enough good about them, their treatment of me, my Breast Surgeon, My Oncologist, my nurse practitioner, my chemo nurses, the blood people, I LOVE thEM ALL!!   I was diagnosed Stage 3 - just completed 5 months of Chemo.  I will be doing radiation locally as it is over an hour drive for me. 

I am U-M's biggest cheerleader now!  Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions!

I had a great experience at U of M also.

I chose to go to Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit, MI.  I had a very good experience there.   A friend of mine chose U of M in Ann Arbor.  She would recommend that hospital to anyone.  Another friend of mine had  very good care at Beaumont Hospital.  All of these are very good hospitals for breast cancer.

I was just diagnosed at UofM, the local hosp. missed it.  I've been really happy so far with everyone I've had contact with there.  I drive 3 hrs. each way.  I wouldn't if I didn't think it was worth it.

Good luck to you!
