Ridley-Tree’s breast surgeons are supported by experts in breast imaging, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and supportive care services, all under one roof.
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.
