Tune in this week as Dr. Barrett speaks with Dr. Janie Grumley M.D., a surgical breast oncologist who has expertise in treating patients with breast cancer and benign breast diseases. She specializes in novel treatments such as oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery and intraoperative radiation therapy. 

 

In this episode, Dr. Grumley talks about breast health clinics.  Think of an urgent care for breasts where you can actually be examined by a nurse practitioner and get imaging the same day for any lump that keeps you up at night!  

 

Traditionally, if there's a problem with your breasts and you go at the local Emergency Room, Good Luck!!  Learn why it's so important to find a board certified professional you can trust and one who can deliver specialized care custom tailored to your needs.  Dr. Grumley describes trusting relationships and the bond she creates with her patients that can last a lifetime.

 

Dr. Barrett and Dr. Grumley both explain why surgery should be a risk vs. benefit process in order to reduce unnecessary and possibly invasive treatments and dive into interesting subjects like futuristic technologies and Molecular Markers!  Yes, that's a thing too!
