When starting the breast reconstruction process, patients are often scared and anxious amidst having to make many important decisions about their treatment and lives. To choose the best possible solution, the surgeon can uncover the patient's true wishes - but these are not always so evident.  Often, the surgeon's ideal does not match the patient’s, and adjustments must be made, which is an important concept in fulfilling patient’s expectations.  Today’s episode is about identifying and understanding patients’ expectations in the breast reconstruction process, and being able to deliver upon these.

Our guest, Dr. Aldona J. Spiegel, shares her practical guidance to help improve the patient journey, and her sincere commitment to her patients recovering from breast cancer and other breast related problems.
