I moved to the western suburbs from Chicago. I was looking for a new oncologist and breast surgeon. I came across Dr. Vaince and chose her because of her qualifications, and because in her photo you can see her kindness and compassion energy. When I met with her I was not disappointed and my instincts were spot on about her.
