Compassionate, caring knowledgeable staff

Mar 19, 2026

The office was clean, great view of the river from the waiting room. The check-in staff was professional and friendly. The back-office staff was professional and friendly. The nurse and doctor were kind and comforting to myself and family. Dr. Avila-Lima was wonderful, not hurried, spoke to me, the patient and included my family in asking questions. Referrals and orders that were placed at a morning visit, some of which were made and carried out in less than 24 hours, and the others were scheduled in not much more than 24 hours. I feel I am in good hands with this team, albeit a diagnosis no woman ever wants to have.

Dr. Avila-Lima is an outstanding doctor who is concerned for the total patient as all medical issues affect the status of breast cancer. As a result, on leaving her office, she'd totally reviewed my blood panels, discussed current medical issues, and gave me four (4) specific action items which I was to follow up with other specialists. I did. My health is greatly enhanced and I'm blessed to have her as my doctor.

Dr. Lima is very good doctor. She is very knowledgeable and thorough and explained all the details of my type of cancer and the reoccurrence statistics. She explained the medication options and their success and their side affects. She listened to my feedback as I had severe diarrhea when taking Tamoxifen. She offered aromatase inhibitors as med treatment these can cause bone thinning. I already have osteopenia. She talked about quality of life and med causing other issues. Very much like hearing this approach from a doctor! She ordered a bone density test to see what my bones health is and I have a follow up appt. She is an EXCELLENT doctor! She is also very caring and kind, she looks at you and she smiles. She examined my breast and incisions and said they looked very good. This is provides comfort and reassurance! I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Lima!
