Interviews with Board Certified Surgeons

Home » Videos » Interviews with Board Certified Surgeons

These video interviews with board certified surgeons have become part of the evidence based, educational outreach I provide as a patient advocate. It is part of the work of the nonprofit organization I started, DiepCFoundation.org. Discussions held with surgeons who routinely and successfully perform various types of breast reconstruction provide information for patients to have a shared decision making conversation with their own surgeons. If any videos are age restricted it is because surgical photos are shared. Please log in to your YouTube account and search, “DiepCFoundation” to view these videos. Thank you.
