Hi All,

My mother was diagnosed this week with invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast. She is 62 yrs old. We are considering a few surgeons in the Bay area. Could you please provide feedback on your experiences with any of the following surgeons?
1. Dr. C Denise Ching (PAMF)
2. Dr. Randolph W.Y. Wong (PAMF)
3. Dr. Frederick Dirbas (Stanford)

Your advice/ feedback would be invaluable as we embark on the journey to cure my mother. Thank you so much and God Bless!

    I had Dr. Hoover, she is at Moffit Ca Cnt, She is wonderful and caring surgeon very good qualifications. And there is no better oncologist for Chemo than Dr. Peter Park, He is a great oncologist , very caring and really knowledgable. He is at Fl Cancer Specialist.

    I just had Inv, ductal cell and completed my Chemo this past week. I won't say it is easy but they sure try to make it as easy as possible.

    Good Luck choosing..

    God Bless

    I don't have experience with any of these doctors, but my Breast Surgeon is Lisa Bailey....top notch in my experience. My plastic surgeon was David Chang, also excellent. My surgeries were at Summit hospital in Oakland, but Dr. Chang has his main office in SF. Best of luck in finding a great team

    Dr.Dirbas was part of my tumor board team when I was getting a second opinion at Stanford, so my experience with him is limited. However, I know someone who used him last year and she was very happy with how everything went. Not sure the the recommendations for docs in FL will be of much help.

    Best wishes to your mom.
