I very rarely give reviews for doctors, BUT Dr. Vaince is so worth writing a review for! I came to Dr. Vaince for a 2nd opinion after I was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer and already known to be in one lymph node. Dr. Vaince spent a very considerable amount of time explaining so much to me and covered many things I had never even considered. She is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares for your well being. After spending so much time with me and helping me better understand my situation and options, I chose Dr. Vaince to perform my lumpectomy and axillary node dissection. She is a truly gifted oncologist breast surgeon. Additionally, she used her oncoplastic skills to reshape and make my breast look as best as possible. Very pleased and I thank you, Dr. Vaince.
