I am a PP who did not like Sibley but I was there before the Hopkins takeover and so it may have changed. But in comparison with Georgetown I just felt more comfortable / more reassurance at Georgetown. I think I felt at Georgetown I had a better understanding of what was happening and what was going to happen.

Would who you recommend make any difference if mastectomy is being recommended due to amount of breast affected by cancer?


I have breast surgery and regular surgery at Sibley and do not recommend it either.

I went to Eleni Tousimis after Sibley and was much happier.

My sister also used Dr. Vargas and Mary, as well as Dr. Favret.

As an aside, I’ve been to the Inova Schar Cancer Center (multiple times- today, in fact!) and it is a very nice facility.

Dr Cocilovo is the best. Love her! Very warm and personable and explains everything clearly.

Breast surgeon rec at Schar: Dr. Cocilovo. Dr. Willey, well known from Georgetown, is there too now.
Breast surgeon rec at Virginia Cancer Specialists: Dr. Akbari or Dr. Vargas
Oncologist rec at Schar: Dr. Harnden or Dr. Rizzo
Good luck OP, the worst time (well ok Chemo has been the worst time) is before you get a team and have a plan in place.


I second Dr Vargas. Love him and Mary the nurse practitioner.
