5.0 star star star star starI have already because she is on top of my particular case. She also takes all preventative measures from keeping my breast cancer returning. My breast cancer was one NOT detected from a mammogram or MRI.

5.0 star star star star starDespite being so young, he has a lot of experience in what he does and explains everything very well. The day I first arrived at the hospital, we walked past each other outside and I read her name and immediately felt a connection and trust with her without knowing that she would be my surgeon.

5.0 star star star star starShe was kind and explained things well and listened well to my history and was thorough and offered to biopsy that day which I liked because I want answers as soon as possible to put my mind at ease. She ordered my next diagnostics as stat so they could be done sooner than later as well.

5.0 star star star star starDr Vaince was not my first choice for a surgeon. She was “assigned†to me after a rather shocking diagnosis. She was new to NW Medicine and my plan was to hear her out and get another opinion. OMG that would have been a huge mistake! From the moment she “floated†into the room for our consult I ABSOLUTELY KNEW she was going to be outstanding. Her countenance is so very special. She loves her work and it shows in every detail of her care plans. She is confident but not cocky, a skilled communicator in being direct but oh so very compassionate. She’s so knowledgeable and never once did she hesitate. She is able and willing to answer every question. She is the real deal and takes TIME with her patients. Never once did I feel rushed. I will shout her name from the rooftops! If you have a choice, Dr Faizza Vaince should be yours. I am blessed to say she is my surgeon! Dr Vaince ROCKS NW Medicine!

5.0 star star star star starDr Vaince was my surgeon when I Had breast cancer. My breast cancer was extremely difficult to find. The 3 D mammogram and MRI with contrast did NOT show my cancer. It was through having many biopsies that my breast cancer was only stage 1. Thank God!
