  • "Our family is incredibly grateful to both Dr. De Resisi and Dr. Larsen for the exceptional care they provided to my mother-in-law during one of the most difficult times in her life. Dr. De Resisi performed a partial mastectomy with incredible skill and compassion. The surgery went smoothly, and we felt confident and reassured throughout the entire process thanks to his expertise and calm demeanor. Dr. Larsen, the breast surgeon, was equally amazing. After the surgery, my mother-in-law experienced significant pain and discomfort. Dr. Larsen was attentive and responsive, quickly addressing her concerns and draining fluid buildup to relieve her pain. Her compassionate approach made a huge difference in my mother-in-law’s recovery and peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication to patient care truly set them apart. Thank you, Dr. De Resisi and Dr. Larsen, for everything you did for our family."
