“Dr. King is my breast surgeon. When I got diagnosed with Breast Cancer she was my number 1 choice. She was a key part of my journey through this difficult time in my life.

She walked in and sat down across from me, and the energy in the room shifted immediately. She radiated calm, no nonsense — and a little welcome levity, too. I knew immediately I was in good hands. From those first conversations about treatment options to my bilateral mastectomy to all the myriad post-op appointments, Dr. King proved to be an attentive, trustworthy, skillful, tender surgeon.
