Hi, I was very happy with my visit with Dr. Debra Camal. She was very empathetic, very clear, very thorough in her examination of me as well as reviewing the files that I brought and giving me her evaluation of how to move forward with my diagnosis of breast cancer in situ, early stage. And I really liked her demeanor and approach as well as professionalism and I'd say also gravitas that she knows what she's doing. So she was my second opinion. I have one more I'm doing prior to making a decision of who I will work with to have a lumpectomy moving forward on handling this. Thank you.
