Diagnosed With Stage 2 Breast Cancer. Should We Go For More Experienced Surgeon For Lumpectomy?

Yes, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in Cleveland ohio, and the doctors recommended a lumpectomy and a biopsy od my lympnods, at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland Ohio. My breast surgeon has been practicing sing 2011. Is that a good time frame for practicing surgery, or would it be wise to choose another surgeon with more experience. Thank You

Considering that your breast surgeon has been practicing for almost 4 years, I would say that there should be no issues in continuing treatment with your current surgeon.
