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.

Patient
A patient since May 2018. Performed my surgery for triple neg/HER2 breast cancer 12/13/2018 after chemo & before radiation treatment. Dr. Felson is extremely intelligent & professional. Her nurses and mammogram tech. make you feel very comfortable and they are very compassionate. The office is very clean and has the most up-to-date mammogram diagnostic machine. All the doctors are awesome!

I felt listened to. She explained things well and reassured me the best she could. Agreed with my decision, told me what I needed to know. Worked with me on my crappy insurance to get me the help I needed.

Dr. Felsen is The Best. She is knowledgeable and takes time to explain conditions, the benefits of tests/procedures, and what to expect after surgery. She demonstrates compassion for the patient and family. Highly recommend her for breast cancer surgery. She treats patients with respect and makes every effort to be available when needed.
