Sarosh Naz Zafar, MD

“Women facing breast cancer encounter more than the medical aspect of it; they must also face the physical, emotional, and psychological demands of the disease. I want to take the time to meet each woman where she is and work with her to get her where she wants to go. I strive to treat each woman as I would want my mother or sister to be treated.”
– Sarosh N. Zafar, MD
