Patient Reviews
Mar 12, 2022
I initially went to Dr. Tchou for a second opinion on my breast cancer diagnosis. I just immediately trusted her, respected her and appreciated her kindness and care. I transferred my healthcare to Penn Medicine because of her and her staff. Penn Medicine found additional findings on my MRI that MLH didn’t find. I also had a genetic mutation (testing that Dr. Tchou expedited for me) that informed our decision. The course of treatment was a double mastectomy. Any time I had a question or concern, Dr. Tchou and her staff responded so quickly and thoroughly and kindly. She goes ABOVE and BEYOND. I am really glad that she was my breast cancer surgeon – even just emotionally supportive. When I was having problems with my left breast post surgery (plastic surgery issue), she fit me into her busy schedule and gave me information about what was going on. This information allowed me to move forward in getting healthy and moving beyond breast cancer. You will be treated like a human being by Dr.
