We tried to take an office photo…
Then clinic happened.
Then Christmas Eve surgery happened.

So here’s AI’s best attempt 😅🎄💗
Endlessly grateful for the teams at Lee Health Sanctuary Surgery Center, and Dr. Spencer Michalke—couldn’t do this without you.

🧶 Knitted Knockers: Comfort, Dignity, and Hope
Not all breast cancer survivors choose traditional prostheses — and they don’t have to. Knitted Knockers are soft, lightweight, handmade breast prostheses lovingly crafted by volunteers for women after mastectomy or lumpectomy.
They fit comfortably in a bra, are gentle on healing tissue, and come at no cost to patients.
Grateful for the incredible community who supports our survivors with compassion in every stitch. 💗

🍁 Healthy Thanksgiving Tip:
Did you know a brisk 20–30 minute walk after your meal can help regulate blood sugar, improve digestion, AND support overall breast health through consistent activity? 🩷

Today I’m grateful for my family, my patients, my team, and the privilege of caring for women and men in SWFL.

Wishing you a joyful, delicious, and healthy Thanksgiving! 🦃

💬 A Note About Reviews — and Why They Matter So Deeply

As a breast cancer surgeon, every patient interaction holds immense meaning. My team and I dedicate ourselves to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized care — from diagnosis through recovery.

Unfortunately, we’ve recently seen misleading or fake online reviews that don’t reflect our patients’ actual experiences. These can be hurtful not only to those of us who give our all every day, but also to future patients searching for trusted, credible care during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives.

Authentic patient reviews truly make a difference.They help others find a surgeon and team who will treat them with empathy, precision, and respect. If you’ve had a positive experience or felt supported in your journey with us, your honest feedback means the world — and can help another woman facing breast cancer find the courage to take her next step confidently.

Thank you to every patient, family, and colleague who continues to share genuine experiences and trust us with your care. 💗
