I did a lot of research before I chose Dr. Esserman and chose UCSF over other big well known cancer centers for Dr.Esserman. She has been a great choice for me.

This surgery was hard for me but I felt very supported and cared about by my doctor.

Dr Esserman listens to me and she answers all my questions. It feels like she really cares. She even talked to the radiologist before my procedure so I would feel more comfortable and safe. Even though it was hard and scary, I didn't feel traumatized by it.
