Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unhappy with communication and surgery results.
I had a bi lateral mastectomy to flat, it was supposed to be "aesthetic flat closure" thats not what i got. I now have to get more surgery to fix the lumpy mess i was left with. She was supposed to take 1-2 lymph nodes, she took a total of 16. Including multiple in the side that had no cancer. Now my risk for lymphatic issues is significantly increased. Before we went into the operating room i confirmed what the plan was, and thats not what happened. I also didnt see her after surgery at all, never checked on me. First time i saw her after surgery was a week later. Shes nice but im very unsatisfied with the results of the surgery she gave me.

One of the best doctors.
It’s been 2 years since my double mastectomy that Dr. Evans performed. She made referrals for me to all the best doctors for chemo, radiation, and reconstruction. I would recommend her without a doubt. Need more doctors like her. Thank you Dr. Evans!

Dr. Evans listens to concerns and explains options and diagnosis in a very caring and professional way! Dr Evans is aggressive in getting diagnostics scheduled and a plan of action in order. Very straight forward and compassionate. Dr Evans did my partial mastectomy 16 years ago for cancer and she was the first one I turned to for recent problems I am having. Her office personnel are awesome, they work well together and got my referrals made quickly.

She is the best. Gives you care with personal touch and warmth. I totally trust her, she recommended oncology doctors that I really like and left me an option to call her if I need her opinion. There are not many doctors left like Dr Evans.

I was referred to Dr. Evans by my primary physician. Dr. Evans is incredibly talented in her skills and takes the time to explain terms in a professional manner. She works quickly and effectively. I trusted her completely with my treatment and the surgery's she performed were successful. What matters most though, is she cares. She truly cares about her patients and does everything in her ability to restore health.

Dr. Evans is one of the best doctors I have met through my life, and I am 69. She is one of rare doctors you trust from the first look. She is everything, highly qualified but simple with her patients; she has strong personality, she is honest and encouraging; she is nice, sensitive person, very delicate and highly intelligent. I think, God kissed her hands because I did not feel when she was touching my body. She left me with invisible scars and big hopes.
