Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I'll just say,, Dr. Memmel and the entire Breast Center staff saved my life! She is compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and a wonderful human being.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Memmel. She explained everything in great detail and really wanted to make me feel comfortable with the situation. It was helpful to have a explanation and you can tell how detailed orientated Dr Memmel is. I am so thankful to have found such a caring doctor.

Dr. Memmel conveyed my original diagnosis of breast cancer, and did my mastectomy surgery. She is both compassionate and competent, a real asset to Lutheran General Hospital. She performed a skin-sparing mastectomy and my plastic surgeon then did a direct implant (no expander). Considering the large size tumor I had, and its location near the chest wall, I think the outcome of how my reconstruction looks is phenomenal. I feel I am in GREAT hands with my team of doctors, and especially Dr. Memmel

Last year I was diagnosed with DCIS. I met with four surgeons and Dr Memmel was far and away the best. She not only took her time to explain everything in detail but also answered all our questions (and believe me, we had a ton!) Her staff was incredible as well. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Would not explain thoroughly. Did not respond to questions. She was my wife's second opinion and we were very disappointed in her lack of compassion
