If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. Kristi Funk is the surgeon to go to. It really doesn't matter where you live, you won't find a better doctor anywhere. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2009. It was a shock and as everyone who faced this diagnosis, I wasn't sure what to think. I imagined myself disfigured and bald and wasn't sure I wanted to do anything at all. I met with three surgeons when I was trying to decide on the course of action. I actually didn't even meet with one of them...I walked out of that office after 15 minutes in the waiting room. Another surgeon was a world-famous doctor and i was very impressed with his credentials but it was Kristi who won my heart. I spent three weeks deciding who to go with, calling their offices with questions and concerns. Dr. Funk was extremely patient with me, ALWAYS called me back and never made me feel like I was a nuisance. In the end, I'm SO grateful that I chose her! My surgery, I had a lumpectomy, went extremely well and the most amazing thing...I walked out of OR with a band-aid! No draining tubes, no bandages, no bruises! When I took off the band-aid a week later, I couldn't even see the scar! I still cannot believe how Kristi was able to do what she did. I've seen many scars on breast cancer survivors and I'm proud to say that you can't tell I've had anything done. Besides being a great surgeon, Kristi is an amazing human being: compassionate, caring, sweet and understanding. She doesn't just operate, she becomes a part of your life. I email her when I have questions for my girlfriends' concerns and she always responds. I truly prefer her over any of the other doctors I'm dealing with. She seems to know more about beating breast cancer than any oncologist I've consulted with. Thank you, Kristi!
