Dr Brenda did my thyroid cancer surgery in 2002. I just hit my 21 year survival. She is hands down THE BEST doctor I have ever had. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June of 2022. I moved to Colorado in 2017 but the first dr I thought about was Dr Brenda. I have fine doctors here but they don’t measure up to Dr Brenda. (I will celebrate my 1 year survival on Sept 6, 2023.) I would recommend Dr Brenda to anyone needing surgery. She is the most caring dr I have ever met. PS… I still have my teddy bear!

Dr. Brenda was very good at always addressing my fears while keeping me fully informed of treatment options and risk benifits of each. She was quickly able to assess that my greatest fears related to passing on the risk to my daughter. As quickly as we proceeded with treatment we proceeded with genetic testing.
