"I believe that to provide the highest quality of care, I must have excellent communication skills with my patients, my colleagues and my team member. You can be sure I will encounter each patient with respect and compassion, and I will give the best possible treatment options."

Dr. Krebs has completed extensive training in Hidden Scar® Breast Cancer Surgery, an advanced approach to removing breast cancer. She performs both Hidden Scar Lumpectomy/Partial Mastectomy and Hidden Scar Mastectomy procedures. During Hidden Scar® Breast Cancer Surgery, the incision is made in the fold under the breast, around the edge of the nipple area or in the armpit, so the scar is less visible after breast surgery.
