We continually get requests for recommendations of doctors who are knowledgeable with regard to triple negative breast cancer. TNBC Foundation does not endorse any specific doctors but we welcome you to share your personal recommendations with other members.

Please reply back with your personal recommendations (Dr. Name, address and phone) and reasons for recommending.
 
DO NOT reply back with names of doctors to avoid as this could be interpreted as slander.
 
Thank you for your help.

I'm an MDAnderson patient and I've not had a choice in any of my doctors. It took me five weeks to get in as a new patient (might be quicker this time of year) and I was just glad to get ANYBODY there. With a reputation like theirs, I don't imagine they hire just anybody so I was glad to take the rotation roulette. Plus, you can self-refer yourself now. Don't need a doctor to do it. Second plus, if I was going to the trouble of seeing someone there, I'd stick with them. My sister goes there too and she lives in Denver. They've given her years of good life when other doctors had written her off (ovarian cancer). I'll have my mastectomy there this month. Just done with chemo. Including signature even though it needs updating. Have to figure out how to do that.
Dx: 7/09 TN IDC Stage llB, T2, N1, Grade 3 and associated DCIS, BRCA Neg, Taxol x 12, FAC x 4, left mastectomy March 2010

Greetings.

What do members think about updating this original post
from 2/17/2010 on “Oncologists Recommendations”?
Think it would be great to have updated info on TNBC experts
in various states and at the various cancer centers on the forum.
To start: I took info from several of Steve’s posts   (and probably
missed some of his posts with referral names…so will ask Steve to add/update
after the SABC whenever his schedule allows)
and from a post by “Outnumbered”
and from the original posting on “Oncologists Recommendations”.
Have not checked yet if any websites initially posted are still active.
Know there are probably other TNBC experts that have been
mentioned on the forums that I have not included......so please
post any TNBC expert you know and don't see on the list.

Not sure what the best plan is to update.
Listed the The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) below.
There is a list of the NCI cancer centers by state at http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/
Listed some of the TNBC experts that have been noted on the forums below.

Please add any new names or centers with location.
(include full address and phone number if possible).
If any MD’s no longer at places on below list, please post.
Once the addtions/updates have been posted, a master list can be compiled
If you have other ideas on how to update the list, please share.
Remember the initial post on this forum:
….“We continually get requests for recommendations of doctors who are knowledgeable with regard to TNBC.   Please reply back with your personal recommendations (Dr. Name, address and phone) so that we may compile a list organized by location.   DO NOT reply back with names of doctors to avoid as this could be interpreted as slander.”….

Please post if you have any questions.

Grateful for today…………….Judy

Wish I could edit the above post to just add that I have had family members treated at numerous university hospitals throughout the United States and I have to say that Vanderbilt exhibits an extremely high level of patient satisfaction in numerous ways, from the free valet parking to the ability to view and print your labs and image readings and everything in between. Was quite impressed with the experience.

For now, the following are the states that we do not have TNBC expert MDs for:

Alabama                                      
Alaska                                          
Arizona                                          
Arkansas                             
Colorado                 
Connecticut                
Delaware                
Georgia                        
Hawaii                        
Idaho                        
Illinois                     
Iowa                       
Kansas                      
Kentucky       
Louisiana         
Maine                      
Michigan         
Minnesota           
Mississippi             
Montana

Nevada
New Hampshire                            
Nw Mexico
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

If any one has additional resources for states for which there are already some resources,
please feel free to add.
(Note: Prior resources from different sources. Final list will be alphabetical)
Again, will see if there are additional resources before compiling one list.

If any questions, please post.
If any state inadvertently left out, please post.

Thanks.

In Alabama, I am sure Dr. Andre Forerro would be considered a TNBC expert. He is at UAB and is the primary researcher on the abraxane/tigatuzumab trial. He has (has) a video clip on this site discussing TNBC and is part of the consortium as well. Sorry I don't have contact info handy, but will try to add it at a later date.
He is very kind and always seems to be "in the know" as I ask him about studies and results or gladly tells you if he's not familiar (a wonderful trait for a doctor).

In Columbus, Ohio the very best for any breast cancer is Dr. Charles Shapiro at the James Cancer Hospital at OSU. He is the head of the Breast Cancer Department there. He doesn't take many patients these days as that he is involved in a lot of research. I suspect he took me because I am triple negative.
Dx June 06 stage 1 at age 46, no nodes, clean margins, Ki-67 at 54, Bilateral Mastectomy, 4 rounds AC, complete hysterectomy Aug O7. Mother and Grandmother both died of breast cancer dx in their 30's.

Hello all.   I was recently diagnosed with TNBC and am looking for an Oncologist in the Atlanta area that specializes in it.   I know there are no recommendations yet posted for Georgia but was hoping that perhaps one of you may have one.  I have an appt later this week with an oncologist recommended by my surgeon but wanted to be able to have a couple of opinions and definitely see someone with TN expertise.   Thanks very much.
