Two years ago, Dr Ching-Tismal operated and removed my ductal carcinoma. She is easy to talk to, warm, knowledgeable, reassuring…but in this case, what matters maybe most—her surgical skills were genius. I can’t imagine a better outcome! I’m impressed, thoroughly and eternally grateful.

It has been 3 years since my chemo and surgery. I was so glad that all came out well. The MD Anderson group was absolutely fabulous with everything. Dr. [last name], my oncologist, was hopeful, helpful and encouraging. She helped me through all of beginning steps and worked with Dr. Ching-Tismal who was also teriffic, ended up doing my surgery. Afterwards, they continued to see me, checking me constantly at first then moved to every 6 months. In the meantime watching my MRIs and Breast exams. Excellent care. The staff in front were caring, considerate and very helpful. I love MDAnderson and would recommend them to everyone.
