BRCA Genetic Testing

BRCA Genetic Testing

BRCA genetic testing uncovers inherited mutations that significantly increase breast and ovarian cancer risk. The Premier Surgical Network offers expert counseling, testing, and interpretation to help patients understand their risk. Results support informed decisions about enhanced surveillance, medication, or risk-reducing surgeries like prophylactic mastectomy.

Breast Biopsy

Breast Biopsy

A breast biopsy removes tissue from a suspicious breast lesion—identified through mammography, ultrasound, or clinical exam—for precise pathological analysis. Techniques include fine-needle aspiration, core-needle biopsy, vacuum-assisted biopsy, or surgical excision, using imaging guidance to ensure accuracy. This targeted sampling is essential for diagnosing cancer and guiding treatment strategies.

Breast Cancer Surgery

Breast Cancer Surgery

Breast cancer surgery includes lumpectomy or mastectomy, sometimes combined with lymph node evaluation. These procedures are the cornerstone of early-stage treatment, offering effective removal of cancer while prioritizing patient outcomes and cosmetic considerations. Surgery is often complemented by systemic or radiation therapy as part of comprehensive cancer care.

Excisional Lymph Node Biopsy

Excisional Lymph Node Biopsy

When a lymph node appears enlarged or abnormal, surgical removal (biopsy) provides essential tissue for diagnosis. Our surgeons at The Premier Surgical Network use precise excision techniques to minimize scarring while ensuring an accurate sample for pathology evaluation.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

In cancer staging—especially for breast cancer and melanoma—we identify and remove the first (sentinel) lymph node to assess disease spread. This minimally invasive approach limits disruption to lymphatic drainage and helps guide further treatment.

I’ve been with Dr.Suarez for about 5+ years and so far she has been one of the best Doctors I have seen. I love the way Dr.Suarez treats me as a patient. At first I was a little worried because some doctors can be rude but Dr.Suarez instantly made me feel comfortable she’s so nice and caring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs her service! I have been with Dr. Suarez for over 5 years and so far she has been one of the best doctors I have seen.

This is my second time seeing Dr. Suarez and she treated me like I have been seeing her for years. She listens carefully and gives all the time needed to her patients, she made me feel like I am the only patient she is seeing that day while I know she is very busy. I will look forward to my next appointment with her because she is different than other doctors with the amount of care she gives to her patients. Also her lead nurse Natasha Echavarria was very kind and made sure that I have all the information needed and provided me with her phone extension just in case I needed anything so I have direct contact with the the doctor’s office.

When I was told I had breast cancer for the third time and visited Dr. Adriana Suarez-Ligon I was terrified. I was to be evaluated for possible breast surgery. She was professional but also kind and compassionate, as she explained the options to me. Dr. Suarez-Ligon spent over an hour with me and supplied me with several means of communicating with her for any further questions. She offered me hope. Her office staff, especially her nurse, Daria, helped arrange all the prerequisites to surgery. Two weeks later, I had a successful bilateral mastectomy. I am healing well thanks to her skill as a surgeon. I strongly recommend her for any woman who needs an excellent breast surgeon. She will take the time you need to make decisions and offer support pre and post procedures.

When I first met Dr Suarez I was scared and confused and wanted a Dr that was not just good at their field but that cared for the patients. I was Blessed to have met Dr: Suarez. She made me feel comfortable right away. Her office is always very clean. Wait time is minimal. Her nurse and her team/ staff are all very nice and friendly. She has been a Great Oncologist and an Amazing Person full of compassion. Any patient would be lucky to have her as their Dr. She is knowledgeable in her field and aims to help patients improve their health and overall quality of life. Any Hospital or Dr would be fortunate to have her represent them. I’m grateful to have her with me through my long journey. However their is a down side. Dr Suarez Answering service and her office answering calls is an on going unpleasant experience. Hopefully she can eventually resolve this and get Office Assistance that answers calls and not always sends to answering service. Which it’s frustrating because messages don’t get received anyway. Thank you Dr: Suarez
