Dr. Rager was professional without being stuffy, and was thoughtful in her choices - like using a small port for less external visibility, and making my incision under where my bra strap hides it. She was also patient while answering my questions and those of my family, taking the time to explain why we'll be moving forward with specific treatments and not with others. Thank you, Dr. Rager!
