When preparing for a surgical procedure, many patients experience a range of emotions from excitement to anxiety.

Having the answers and being prepared for this time helps to alleviate their concerns.

Testimonials
“Recovering from surgery leaves you in a vulnerable position. Dori has the familiarity of a family member with whom you feel safe and comfortable, plus a skill and care level that only comes from years of experience.”
“As a former patient, I am forever grateful to have been in the care of Dori Frank during my cancer journey. Her pre- and post-operative expertise was incredible. Beyond that, her constant words of encouragement and kindness meant the world to me during a very critical time in my life. She always knew when I needed inspiration most and was there for me. I was treated like family and I carry her words with me to this day.”
