She was very patient with me, explained everything that I needed to know, and made me feel so much better when I left because of all the interest she had in checking on my past medical history to make sure the surgery went well for me when I come in.

I have had nothing but a supportive and driven experience with my health team so far. It is clear they take this serious, validate that it is unnerving, but also instill the confidence that I am in the best hands. Anecdotal comment- something that I hadn't noticed but my mom (who was at my consult with me) did, was how Dr. Bregar rarely took her eyes off of me, as the patient, even when others were sharing. This made my mom feel incredibly safe and comfortable with Dr. Bregar as she saw how clear it was that they were focused on me as an individual and as a patient. Additionally, Crystal has been nothing but wonderful and thorough as well! I just truly felt cared for!

Dr. Bregar is the absolute best, most knowledgeable, incredibly CARING doctor I have ever had the fortune of having for a health care provider. She knows me literally "inside out" in every important aspect of my health and my personal life. In every way she is very clear when addressing my EVERY question regarding the cancer and other related issues. [redacted] Her joy in all she does is in itself HEALING and comforting to others, especially, of course, to her patients. This plus her in-depth, all encompassing knowledge in the field of Gynecology-Oncology makes her one in a universe. As I implied or said above, she is well aware of all that contributes to the healing process, including diet, life style, emotional state, etc. She has asked me to let her know any, absolutely any changes in my health and also, in my personal life aside from the cancer. Dr. Bregar is wise beyond the best! My husband and I are completely in awe of Dr. Bregar. And, frankly, I just adore her! Sincerely, [redacted]

Dr. Amy Bregar is an excellent oncologist / surgeon and her care for my mom [redacted] this past year has been unwavering. She has also extended care and support to my siblings and me while treating my mom. At every visit Dr. Bregar gave my brother, sister and me the same professionalism, kindness and comfort she gave to my mom. No concern was unaddressed, no question unanswered and no fear unacknowledged. Dr. Bregar helped my siblings and me be our best while supporting my mother. [redacted]

I had a really bad experience with the first doctor that I saw, um, within the cancer center. Um, and when I saw her, um, she made it, I felt comfortable, relaxed, um, knew what to expect. Um, she walked me through everything. Even if I didn't know something, she helped it so that I could understand a lot better. Um, not a lot of doctors do that nowadays. I felt confident in her approach on everything.
