She's wonderful! I had three incisions, two breast and lymph nodes. A little more than a week after surgery, my breast looks GREAT and I feel well. I had surgery on a Thursday and was at the gym on Saturday morning! I have a doctorate in a related field so can be pretty exacting with physicians. Grace Hou is at the top of her game. Do yourself good and make an appointment with her. Also, her nurse Katrina is very helpful and knowledgeable. Good luck.

Dr. Hou is awesome. She clearly and patiently explains everything. I felt I was finally getting to relax and that she would fight this cancer with and for me. Her staff is kind, compassionate and frankly, I think they are all miracle workers. I have no doubts I can beat this with their help!

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I called my friend who had been treated about twelve years ago. The first thing she said was to try to see Dr. Hou. Therefore, I was relieved when my primary care physician referred me to her without my asking. Dr Hou explained everything very thoroughly including a brief history of how breast cancer treatment has improved over the years. She also takes great care in making the incision less visible after healing. As she has been taking care of patients in this area for over thirty years, I have great confidence in who she refers for ongoing treatment. I’m addition, her office staff is very caring and responsive.

I recently had breast cancer surgery and thought Dr. Hou was an excellent Doctor. She explained the surgery and post surgery options clearly. I was given a thorough understanding of my condition, pathology reports along with long term risks

I found Dr Hou to be very engaging. She squeezed me in her already busy schedule for which I’m so grateful! Dr Hou is straightforward, honest about the situation at hand & is ready to help remedy the situation as best as she can. She gave me her full attention, didn’t mind taking questions, & didn’t try to hurry us on. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
