Judy U.
Patient
Appleton, WI
If you’re ever diagnosed with breast cancer, you want Dr. Tjoe as your surgeon. Choosing her really set the positive tone for everything that has happened since my diagnosis. We’ve felt so grateful and comforted – I don’t think I could have been in better hands.
Ann H.
Patient
Appleton, WI
Thank you, Dr. Tjoe and Mikayla, so much for all your loving care, strength and positive energy during my cancer journey. I couldn’t have asked for a better team in every way to make sure we do what needs to be done and, at the same time, giving me empathy, strength and determination. The message that I received is, “We’ve got this,” and I wasn’t alone. I don’t know how to thank you. You are two amazing professionals but also two devoted women to their serious jobs of helping and supporting whomever they tend to. I will always smile when I think of you both. Thank you for making me feel so well taken care of; for this I will always be grateful.
