Dr Ching-Tismal is a professional and skillful physician, I couldn’t be happier and felt fortunate to have had her as my surgeon. the PA L [last name] was thorough during my post op visit and empathic of my personal situation. Last and not least, the staff from front desk to the nurse and MA are kind, professional and dependable. Thank you for the care we need at a difficult and challenging time!

Bottom line my tumor was successfully removed. Any other issues related to my tumor removal were thoroughly addressed & have significantly less importance in the scheme of things but it took me some time to come to this point of view.

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.
