Welcome to My Blog: A Journey in Compassionate Care for Breast Cancer Patients

Hello and Welcome! I am Dr. Collins. I am a Breast Surgical Oncologist.

I have spent the last decade training in medicine and more specifically breast disease surgery.

I felt called to start this blog as a means to further connect with patients and extend the reach of information related to breast cancer awareness.

My personal philosophy of care is grounded in the belief that a comprehensive understanding of the breast disease process is crucial for supporting patient autonomy. I am dedicated to providing detailed explanations and insights into each patient's condition, ensuring they have the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their care.

Recognizing the rich diversity of the patients I serve, I am committed to inclusivity, actively considering the cultural, social, and individual factors that contribute to each patient's unique experience. This approach allows me to tailor my care to effectively meet their specific needs and preferences.

Empowerment is a cornerstone of my practice. I strive to support my patients not only through their treatment but also in their journey beyond, fostering resilience and strength. My goal is to create a judgement-free environment where compassion and empathy are paramount, ensuring that each patient feels heard, respected, and valued.

As a surgical oncologist, I understand the challenges that come with a breast cancer diagnosis. I aim to be a steadfast pillar of support during these times, offering guidance, reassurance, and hope. Through this blog, I aspire to extend my support further, providing a resource rich in information, perspective, and comfort.

My mission is to make this space a sanctuary for those seeking understanding, connection, and a sense of community in their fight against breast cancer.

Thank you for joining me!
