Welcome to the Johns Hopkins Breast Center's "Ask An Expert" section of our website.
If you have a question or comment please send it to us using the form below.
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get answers to your questions. For an appointment, please contact us at: 443-287-2778.
This section is not intended for providing primary medical advice concerning specific medical care or treatment. We hope you find the information helpful.
Due to volume of questions or their complexity, there are times in which I will solicit the help of a medical oncologist, surgeon, radiation oncologist or other oncology nurse for their input. These individuals also are providing their time as a volunteer to make this information available to you.
