  Dr. Jeffers provides compassionate and highly skilled care to patients. In her dedicated breast surgery practice, she offers a broad spectrum of breast surgery options to patients with benign or malignant breast disease. Dr. Jeffers works closely with her multidisciplinary team to formulate a specific treatment plan for individual patients. Since cosmesis is of great concern to both Dr. Jeffers and her patients, she draws upon her specialized training in minimally invasive lumpectomies with hidden scars and oncoplastic techniques for breast conservation therapy. For mastectomies, she is skilled in flat closure, skin-sparing and nipple-sparing techniques. Breast cancer treatment decisions are complex, and Dr. Jeffers works closely with her patients and helps them navigate through these difficult and emotional decisions.
