Chelee,

I love my breast surgeon - Dr. Lawrence Wagman at the Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment affiliated with St. Joseph Hospital. You probably remember that I followed him from COH to this new cancer center where he is the Medical Director. His number is (714) 835-8300. I have also heard good things about Dr. Michelle Carpenter, also at the center. I am not so happy with my medical onc that I changed to and will be looking for someone new soon.

Hope this helps.
