We had to wait a bit but I didn't mind at all once I was able to see Dr. Gutherie who is the surgeon I chose to perform my lumpectomy. She sent me for an MRI, discussed the options and risks associated with surgery and aftercare. She was straightforward but human. She gave me medical data as well as the "common man" language. I was exceptionally comfortable with the experience and she called me herself immediately when she had the results of the MRI (the next day).

I waited over 2 hours to be seen but Dr. Guthrie didn't seem rushed when she saw me. Which kind of explains the wait.

Dr. Guthrie is very calm and very positive which is very helpful in making me feel positive and hopeful.

It took a while to get in to see Dr. Guthrie for a surgical consult but once I got in to see her she was very respectful and knowledgeable. I feel I can trust her with my care. I may still have some questions as we go through the process. But overall she was quick to obtain authorization for additional imaging prior to scheduling the surgery to ensure we know that there is nothing else that needs to be dealt with prior to surgery.
