Discussion with Dr. Amy Rivere, Breast Surgeon at Ochsner Health
When going through breast cancer, you’ll get to know your general breast surgeon and plastic surgeon. One is there to remove the tumor, and the other is there to...help you discover the artist within.

Dr. Amy Rivere, a surgical oncologist, is generally the first doctor a breast cancer patient will see. Her motivation to study medicine started early as she, too, is a cancer survivor. Today, Dr. Rivere talks with Laila and Lia about having those first conversations with your physician.
