Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best doctor ever!
I underwent my second mastectomy with Dr Aft in September 2024. The first was in May 2012. She is kind and understanding and very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. She is the best!!!

Horrible surgeon. My breast cancer returned after 3 years and a lumpectomy supposedly performed by Dr Aft. I think an unsupervised resident did my surgery since I had numerous complications with what should have been a relatively easy surgery. If you value your health RUN from this arrogant, rude, lying surgeon… .

Visit was for a 2nd opinion and I was told that a review of my care to that point would be discussed as well as whether or not Dr. Aft agreed with the other cancer center's recommendations. However, there was NO such discussion. Dr. Aft and the resident were impersonal, allowed no time for questions and, sadly, felt the need to make fun of the degree of claustrophobia I have. Very uncompassionate provider.

Awful, beware of this surgeon. She lies to the patient, and cares more about impressing the med students and residents she is training. She will lie to your face about performing the surgery and even being in the OR. I understand BJC is a teaching hospital, but a surgeon should not lie to the patient about if she will be performing the surgery. She will not believe you on your post op visit if you complain about pain. She will tell you and this is laughable, that the surgery did not cause any of pain you are experiencing. She actually told me, and I Quote, you have NO nerves in your underarm. So my pain after the lumpectomy was imaginary. THIS DOCTOR should be avoided.

I had surgery about 8 years ago and the problem never returned. I think she is outstanding.

Very scatterbrained cold and uncaring. Liar too. How can a physician who does so many mastectomies forget to refer a patient who wanted reconstruction to a plastic surgeon? Surgery had to be postponed after Dr Aft was repeatedly told and promised to accommodate a time frame so the patient would be able to have someone at home during surgery. couldn’t care less that a patient with history of delayed anesthesia difficulties go home alone after drive through total mastectomy

Be careful, they will schedule you to see her nurse practitioner instead of her.
