“Best Breast Cancer Surgeon!”
There is a reason why Dr. Miltenburg is considered the best breast cancer surgeon in Houston. She is the most caring and knowledgeable doctor that I have met. Being diagnosed with breast cancer is extremely stressful and traumatic. Dr. Miltenburg was able to clearly explain her approach so that I could understand, and feel confident about her recommended procedure. Her vast experience goes a long way as well. Given my age and other health conditions, I was very reluctant and nervous about doing

Dr. Miltenburg really put me at ease. She has a lot of experience and is very caring. I highly recommend her.
“Highly recommended”

Being told after your annual mammogram that you have had for years has come back abnormal and that you need to see a breast surgeon is down right scary and causes great anxiety. We found Dr. Miltenburg to be extremely knowledgable, compassionate, and has a no nonsense approach. She took the time to explain every detail, answered every question, and greatly reduced the fear I had when I first entered her office. She has such a warm and caring personality, and we found that her approach built our confidence and removed most of the fear during our first visit to her. And she is true to her word. She knows the importance of alleviating fear waiting for biopsy results and informs you of the results the minute she has them. I would highly recommend her as a top notch breast surgeon in Houston.
“Dr. Miltenburg is an exceptional breast surgeon.”
