For women who require the services of a breast surgeon, the Ridley-Tree team of Rosa Choi, MD, FACS and Katrina B. Mitchell, MD, IBCLC, PMH-C, FACS offer patients a combined 30+ years of experience solely focused on breast concerns. Whether surgery is required for breast cancer or another condition, Drs. Choi and Mitchell utilize the latest surgical advancements in their practice, including oncoplastic techniques for breast conservation.

Along with training from top academic medical centers, our breast surgeons are certified by the top professional societies in their field, and utilize the latest clinical research when recommending care for women.

Fellowship-trained in breast surgical oncology, Dr. Mitchell is also a certified lactation consultant, and has developed a course on breastfeeding medicine for breast surgeons.

Breast surgical treatment, together with medical and/or radiation oncology, are the mainstays of breast cancer care. Our breast surgeons work with patients to determine which type of surgery is most appropriate, and if it should occur before or after chemotherapy. Drs. Choi and Mitchell also collaborate with local plastic surgeons when women choose mastectomy with reconstruction.
