Dr. Denise Barajas, MD

Dr. Barajas was extremely thorough and kind. She made an extremely scary diagnosis as easy and smooth as possible. I highly recommend her!!

Dr. Barajas is fantastic and the best at what she does. I have been a patient of hers for the past 3 years and have nothing but great things about her. She is kind, compassionate, patient and really cares about her patients. I highly recommend her and her amazing team!

Dr. Barajas worked me into her schedule within 2 days of my biopsy report when I was unknown to her as a patient. I was also worried she would try to convince me to do treatment I did not want (mastectomy) as I'd had a bad experience with another hospital 3 yrs ago. But she was so kind, listened patiently to my wishes and ensured me that she was there to support me. She did not try to coerce or badger me into doing a mastectomy, but suggested further testing (Breast MRI, consult with radiologist) so I could have more information to make the right decision for me. I left her office feeling calmer and trusting she would respect my decision. In addition, the entire Griffin Breast Center has a beautiful serene atmosphere and free parking is right outside the entrance. Every staff member has been friendly, efficient and helpful, making the experience less stressful.

Dr Barajas is such a caring dr. Her staff if wonderful! Appointments are easy to make! Very quick with results of tests to make you feel more at ease.

Dr. Barajas is a great listener and she makes it a point to answer any concerns or questions you may have in regards to your treatment. Very nice Doctor to have on your team! She will not disappoint!

Dr. Barajas was recommended to me by my ob/gyn when I discovered a lump in my breast. If not for this recommendation I likely would not have sought out a surgeon at Griffin Hospital. She is quiet, caring, delicate with her words, & spends a good amount of time with the patient and family members to explain your surgery options and the process. My lumpectomy was a 100% success and her skill and attention to detail is clearly evident by the fact that I barely have a scar on my breast ! The staff at her office are very friendly, helpful and caring too. The only thing I didn’t like about her is that she was the one who called to say “We see some cancer” :-( No one wants to hear those words, but I would definitely recommend Dr. Barajas to anyone who wants to have a seasoned, respected surgeon on their medical team.

Very down to earth and easy to talk to. Extremely nice and thorough.

Dr. Barajas is smart, skilled and caring and made a very frightening time in my life just a little easier. I’m grateful.

I first met de. Barajas in New Haven when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was so scared but she was the best. I now have yearly follow ups with her and I look forward to my visits. Her staff, Christine and Katherine, are great too

Dr. Barajas is an incredible human being & an exceptional Physician/Surgeon! I honestly can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Barajas and her staff (Christine and Kathryn). They are incredibly professional, thorough, educated, kind and compassionate (I could go on & on). The day of my first breast surgery was incredibly long, emotional and difficult for me...Dr. Barajas (and her surgical team) were unbelievable! They were very informative and incredibly compassionate!

Dr. Barajas has been my MD for a number of years, and I have found her to be truly wonderful. She is highly skilled, yet brings a sense of warmth and sincerity that I've never found in other breast specialists. I finally made the decision to have a preventive double mastectomy in Jan 2017, and I never felt regret or doubt knowing that she and her team where behind me. It's not an easy decision to make, but I felt more confident with her heading the surgery. She is Wonderful!!

Dr. Barajas is amazing. I find her and her office staff to be calming, helpful and diligent. Happy to be her patient.

Dr. Barajas has a very calming personality in the OR. I was nervous the morning of and when she entered the operating room she just brings a sense of professionalism and confidence, really felt so much better when she entered.
