After being falsely diagnosed by Paediatricians in Encinitas.

I have been coming to see Dr. Rajgopal since 2011. She is a sensitive, efficient, caring, knowledgeable doctor and surgeon. Her staff is as equally professional, easy to work with and caring with patient concerns.

She did a breast lumpectomy for cancer on me 5 years ago. I am a survivor. I am deeply grateful to her for her caring expertise, diligent vigilance and a fabulous (almost invisible) scar.
