There was ZERO question of who I would see, should I find myself in this predicament. I have been a Med/surg nurse at Providence hospital taking care of mastectomy patients postoperatively for over 22 years. The same doctor comes to mind over and over through the years. For several reasons I choose Lauri Bleicher as the surgeon to deal with my new diagnosis. Her patients fair so well, we do not see them back for complication/infection and her processes/instructions for both the nurse and the patient/families are unparalleled. THAT is what you want to know and hear about your surgeon. Her outstanding reputation precedes her so much so that she needed even advertise I’m sure. The smartest doctors send their patients to her and past patients “know” and sing her praise. I don’t look forward to being on this side of the care but I know that my journey will be navigated thoughtful, kindly and competently with the hand of Dr. Bleicher.
