Dr. Amy Kusske, MD

Words cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Kusske! She is everything you could ever hope for in a physician and surgeon: wonderfully caring, solutions-oriented, and committed to providing the best possible outcome for her patients. She also welcomes a challenge. After another surgeon had declined my case because my stature and breast were slight and my tumor large, she never flinched. Rather, she gave me the opportunity to pursue a double mastectomy, and I could not be happier! I am one-month post surgery, and thanks to her extraordinary skill, the results are beyond anything I could have imagined: the incisions are minimal, and the borders came back clear! What a blessing! My family and I will be forever grateful for her generous and ongoing care—thank you, Dr. Kusske!

Dr. Kusske is a skilled surgeon, knowledgeable and experienced physician and compassionate doctor. She always answered my questions and guided me through what turned into a more complicated and emotional process I cannot say enough good things about her!

In June 2017 I made the difficult decision to have a bilateral mastectomy based on lab results and discussions with Dr. Amy Kusske. I could not be happier with the care that Dr. Kusske and her team at UCLA Santa Monica Breast Center have provided. The treatment provided is nothing short of world-class. Dr. Kusske is an especially caring, considerate and attentive breast cancer expert and is absolutely devoted to delivering the best care and achieving the best possible result for the patient.

Dr. Kasske made a very tough time very easy to go through. She is clearly a master of her craft, both personally and professionally. I will be grateful to her for the work that she did and the careful attention paid not just to my case, but also to me.

As a surgeon, Dr. Amy Kusske blends competence with kindness. She explains procedures and goals clearly and readily offers alternatives to procedures when applicable. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
