Explained things so I could understand and took her time to acknowledge my concerns and answer all questions that I had. She smiled and was pleasant and kind . Which makes a big difference!5/28/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientShe is the best5/16/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientVery competent. Excellent reputation as a surgeon. Outlined plan of care clearly. My only suggestion is to wait until the follow up appointment after the surgery to discuss ongoing potential risk for developing breast cancer and the need to have a breast MRI every year. That was difficult to hear prior to surgery or start of treatment because patients can hear it as saying they will never escape cancer no matter what they do. I found it very discouraging at that time. Now that I have had surgery, I realize that was not what she was saying, but that is how a patient can hear it at that time in the process. I think it would be better heard and received at the follow up appointment after the breast surgery. The information was beneficial, but timing is everything. She is an excellent surgeon and went out of her way to arrange appointments so that I could complete testing and surgery before I could move out of state in a few weeks. I am very grateful and thankful that she took it upon herself to do that and it is such a relief!5/15/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientDr. Durgan is very professional and easy to talk to5/7/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientShes fantastic
