Philosophy Of Care

A significant part of my practice focuses on breast surgery. I co-founded the Breast Clinic, a comprehensive approach in which a patient can meet with their surgeon and oncologist in one visit. I also performed the first nipple-sparing mastectomy at Edward Hospital. Not all of my patients have breast cancer, nor do they all need surgery. I work collaboratively with my patients to develop a plan of care that works best for each individual and situation. To help continually improve cancer care, I am a member of both the Cancer Committee and the Breast Program leadership at Edward Hospital. I am also a member of the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

General surgery is another part of my practice. I believe in using minimally invasive approaches whenever possible to treat gallbladder disease, hernias and colon disease. As an acute care surgeon, I have the opportunity to treat a wide variety of complex conditions, too.

It’s really important to me that my patients know that I care about them and their outcomes, whether their surgery is simple or complex. It’s also a partnership. I want my patients to feel that they are partners with me in their care and that we’re in this together to reach their desired goal of being disease free. It’s a privilege to be able to care for my patients in a comprehensive way, helping them to complete their journey to health.

I am committed to the community that Edward Hospital serves both professionally and personally. My children were born at Edward Hospital and my family and I live in the area.

Dr Harvey is friendly and professional. She explained my options thoroughly after my exam. She even took the time to read my previous surgery report and listened to my concerns. I never felt rushed. I Would highly recommend her.

Dr. Harvey is a very nice doctor.She just needs to talk to her staff. I called ten days before my appointment to see if I could come in sooner as the pain was so bad.The receptionist recommended me calling every day to see if any cancellation. She was very kind. However when I called waited 15 minutes to get through;the receptionist was rude and told me it doesn't matter. The doctor was doubled booked all week so don't call back.
