C Denise Ching MD

I don’t even know where to begin on just how amazing Dr. Ching is as a surgical oncologist! She is so caring, brilliant, kind, and thoughtful. I also want to just hang out with her cause she’s super fun! I am so glad to have her by my side as I go through this tough journey. If you have breast cancer and you are looking for the best surgeon in the field, she’s the one for you! I am forever grateful to Dr. Ching!

Earlier this year, I was referred to Dr. Ching due to a lump that was found. Many thoughts run through your mind with all the potential consequences one can face. During my first appointment with Dr. Ching, I knew immediately that I was in excellent hands. She is not only extremely knowledgeable but took the time to review all of my test results in language I could understand (she even drew pictures). Just as important, her care and compassion were evident throughout every appointment. I left that first appointment knowing that whatever I faced was going to be managed with the best care possible. She performed a partial mastectomy with excellent results. I was also impressed with the staff who worked with her before, during and after the surgery. If you are seeking the best breast cancer surgeon in the Bay Area, you must connect with Dr. Ching.

Dr. Ching is phenomenal! If you have breast cancer, you need to make an appointment with Dr. Ching. Why? She has a very good mix of research and surgical experience, and has an amazing bedside manner. She is truly passionate about her patients.

When I first met Dr. Ching she was very open and honest. Immediately, I was impressed with her — it’s very rare to have a talented surgeon who can connect with you. During the first appointment, I thought Dr. Ching would educate me and just leave for another patient. But Dr. Ching really took the time to talk to me and answer all of our questions. My husband and a really close friend who is 9 years free of Breast Cancer were both at the meeting. When Dr. Ching left the examination room, we all smiled and agreed that Dr. Ching was the doctor for me.
Dr. Ching also has a strong team of nurses and practitioners. At the PAMF Breast Center, there’s Jennifer Glover, a dynamic RN. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and extremely empathic, too. I was very impressed that both Jennifer and Dr. Ching explained the prognosis in the same manner, which helped me quickly decide that Dr. Ching would be my surgeon.
I still wanted a second option, and Dr. Ching also understood my concerns. Dr. Ching and I had really good discussions about second options. However, it was right after Dr. Ching requested an MRI for my breast that I knew, hands down, I had the right surgeon. After the MRI, Dr. Ching found an invasive cancer that was stage 1. If she hadn’t requested the MRI, I would have been walking around with stage 1 cancer for months! I am so grateful to Dr. Ching for ordering the MRI because if she hadn’t, I would have had to have two surgeries.

I cannot give enough praise in talking about my experiences with Dr. Ching. She is an extremely talented surgeon specializing in oncology, and my experiences with her were the absolute best that I could expect in every respect. Not only did she successfully perform a complex surgery on me, she also was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in all of the post-​operative matters that I had to deal with. I would, without any hesitation or reservation whatsoever, recommend Dr. Ching to any and all persons who may require a surgeon with oncology skills.

I can’t rave enough about Dr. Ching. She is amazing! A breast cancer diagnosis is scary enough without having a compassionate, knowledgeable doctor to guide you through. Dr. Ching is all that and more! I would highly recommend Dr. Ching to any woman that requires breast surgery. She did my lumpectomy with a plastic surgeon in tandem who did my reconstruction. No problems what so ever. I’m blessed that I found such a great surgeon!

She did my mastectomy. She has the perfect balance of being super caring and yet super intelligence. She treated me like a human being and seemed to really feel for what I was going through. If I could give her 10 stars I would. She explained my cancer to me in very clear detail, and broke it down so I could understand it. She also explained the costs and benefits of alternative ways of doing things.
SHE IS GREAT!!! One of the BEST!!! I would recommend her HIGHLY!!!

I’m thrilled to be the first patient of Dr. Denise Ching’s to give her a review. Since my breast cancer recurrence last June, Dr. Ching has been a phenomenal doctor. She not only is a hardcore, masterful surgical oncologist, but really is a doctor who understands my needs as a female, a mom, a wife, a sibling, and a friend. Following my double mastectomy, I decided to remove the estrogen source (which feeds my would-​be tumors) and that is to have an oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). As a super in-​tuned doctor, she made sure that I understood the full ramifications of my decision, more than what I wanted to be accountable for in making this decision. In the end, I’m glad she armed me with the resources and information that I needed to be comfortable with the procedure.
I literally can not say enough about her expertise, her compassion, and her professionalism in her craft. As insane as her schedule is, she makes time to sit down and really «talk» to me and I don’t ever feel rushed out of her office.
By the way, when I say she is hardcore and masterful in her craft, I mean every single adjective because my surgery results came out beautifully and the precision of my margins were as good as it gets.
For anyone who is reading this review due to a need for this type of medical service either for yourself or for a loved one, I am truly sorry that you’re having to go through this. It’s not easy. Having the right doctor is half the battle. Dr. Denise Ching will take care of you and provide you with her utmost attention and care. She is amazing at being able to connect with her patients.
Love her!
