My practice focuses on breast cancer surgery, oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery, breast reconstruction, and the management of benign breast conditions. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, with the goal of achieving the best oncological outcomes while preserving quality of life and cosmetic results. I believe in clear communication, shared decision-making, and compassionate care, ensuring that every patient feels informed, supported, and confident throughout their treatment journey.
