Spring Piatek is incredibly caring and informative. After visiting 3 physicians at other groups, finding Spring has been a god send. She is the only one who explained my findings and care plan clearly, compassionately and easily. My mom passed away 10 years ago from breast cancer. I wish NM Breast Surgery and Spring were available to her long before then. I truly believe she would have had a different experience. Thank you for all you do!

I think Spring is worth her weight in gold and then some. She was kind, professional, thorough, and you can tell she is very knowledgeable. I’m a nurse and my mom is currently going through treatment for breast cancer so I have a lot of exposure to providers, especially in oncology. I have never met a provider as wonderful as Spring. You are lucky to have her. I don’t have to come back for 7 years but I hope that when I do, she is still available for me to see. 10/10. I hope she is valued and appreciated by NM because we are lucky to have her.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
