Dr. Magnant is an amazing surgeon. She operated on me last week and I was up on my feet the next day. Her surgical skills and knowledge about breaststroke cancer is phenomenal.

I owe my life to Dr. Magnet. Her care for mind, body and soul are beyond extraordinary. She shows complete attention to all needs and attends to her patients as if you are the most important person in the world. Besides breast cancer, she was suspicious of what turned out to be melanoma and referred me to her own personal doctor. I have, with complete confidence, referred my loved ones to her care.

Not going to lie, she's POPULAR! It was hard to book my first appointment, but I am SO happy that my OB/GYN referred me to Dr. Magnant. Once you're set up for the consultation, she is quite thorough. She walked me through my various options, made her recommendations and provided the reasoning, so I could make an informed decision about my medical procedure. She's been accessible and supportive throughout this entire process. You will NEED that in your surgeon. I highly recommend her. The incision's "scar" is nothing short of brilliant!

Colette is a living legend, and any patient who has the good fortune to have surgery at her capable hands should consider herself (or himself) blessed. A saint.

Dr. Magnett is not only professional in every way, but she is extremely caring and treats each patient as if she is the only one in the world. She is concerned and understands all the physical and emotional pains of finding cancer and gives tremendous assurance. She is unrushed tremendously busy, but gives all the time you need. I don't know what I would have done without her.

Dr Magnant took the time to give me a thorough comprehensive exam. She had me move in different positions just to make sure we were both feeling the same lumps. She followed up with a thoughtful, decisive conversation in her office. I would highly recommend her. I waited a little bit, but found the waiting room pleasant and the staff friendly.

My experience was awful. She is sloppy, rushed, uncaring, unkind.
