Patient Reviews
Feb 25, 2023
Words cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Kusske! She is everything you could ever hope for in a physician and surgeon: wonderfully caring, solutions-oriented, and committed to providing the best possible outcome for her patients. She also welcomes a challenge. After another surgeon had declined my case because my stature and breast were slight and my tumor large, she never flinched. Rather, she gave me the opportunity to pursue a double mastectomy, and I could not be happier! I am one-month post surgery, and thanks to her extraordinary skill, the results are beyond anything I could have imagined: the incisions are minimal, and the borders came back clear! What a blessing! My family and I will be forever grateful for her generous and ongoing care—thank you, Dr. Kusske!
