Dr. Beard always shows compassion and concern. She takes the time to listen and I always leave the office feeling comforted. She is by far the best at what she does and although I hope to never have to recommend a surgical oncologist to friends and family, I would trust anyone's life in her hands. So greatful to have her as part of my care team.

Dr. Beard had zero bed-side manner and was extremely factual and not sensitive to my situation. I would 100% never recommend anyone to go see Dr. Beard. Her lack of compassion was disgusting.

Dr. Abigail Beard welcomed ALL QUESTIONS. And I'm a retired news reporter, so I ask many questions and want details. This was a 2-week follow up to my breast surgery. But Dr. Beard took the time to go in depth with results from the additional genetic testing on the cancer removed. She had specifics ready when I asked abou the proposed hormone suppression treatment. I had been in a quandary after talking with my oncologist on the risk-benefit ratios. Dr. Beard had the answers. She listened to all my concerns. She explained that most women confronted with these choices ask the same thing. She did not push for an immediate answer. She said there was time to decide whether or not I want to take hormone suppression therapy. She is so clear about letting you know as a patient - it is your choice. She's a remarkable surgeon. I had NO PAIN AFTER SURGERY or while healing. But her true asset is listening and letting the patient know their concerns are heard. A true healer in every sense, every definition, every professional and personal link to her patients.

Dr. Abigail Beard was highly recommended to me by a former patient. She not only met those high expectations but she exceeded them. She listened intently understood and made notes about background. Gave me visuals and detailed explanations as I requested. I am a retired reporter who still asks many questions. She answered them all. Took time to explain and even draw illustrations. She put me at ease, was so compassionate as well as willing to answer direct questions. I am extremely blessed to have her as my surgeon.

Both Hillary and Dr. Beard were very kind and compassionate. They listened to any concerns I had and made me an active part of my care decisions. Dr. Beard has such a calming demeanor it makes a stressful situation much easier. My husband and I left feeling fully confident in her advice and the decision for surgery.
