    Yes, Dr. Krontiras is an excellent breast surgeon. She is not only a great surgeon, but a genuinely kind person. So honored to have her as my doctor. She really has great skills and the best bedside manner!! The entire O'Neal Cancer Center staff was excellent as well!

    They are beautiful people. Christ like, in the way they serve, all of the team, from the lady who signed me in to Dr. Krontiras. I may sing a different tune when they wake me up from surgery.😂

    Everyone was so helpful. Having the team come to me in one room was amazing. My only complaint is how warm it was in the lab where I went to have my blood drawn. The workers were sweating in their long sleeves and I was sweating in my short sleeves.
