breast cancer diagnosis same week found out I was pregnant

I need help finding a breast cancer specialist in Los Angeles. I cannot seem to find any good referrals online and I have no idea where to begin the search. I have good insurance. And, like everyone else, looking for "the best" whatever that even means. I was not thrilled with the Dr my primary care Dr referred me to and I would like another referral so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

emilyevergreen - I am sorry that you are you received your diagnosis simultaneously with finding out that you're pregnant. There are several threads on bc.org that were started by pregnant women and I believe that there are MO (medical oncologists) who have expertise in treating pregnant worman. You may want to start by looking for a doctor at a NCI designated cancer center. I have copied the link below:
