A Woman's
Decision |
 "My
approach to breast reconstruction entails a very individualized
approach. I try to learn as much about my patients and their
goals and desires as possible in my initial consultation.
If the patient desires breast reconstruction, my recommendation
as to the type of reconstruction is based on a large number
of factors and the patient's decision is ultimately influenced
by my recommendations in concert with her own wishes, input
from her family, friends, breast surgeon, and oncologist.
It is my goal to provide each patient with as much information
as possible to assist them in making an informed decision
regarding the reconstructive options. This site is designed
to assist in that process."
- Frederick J. Duffy, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S.
