Innovative Breast Surgery & Reconstruction Techniques

The GW Comprehensive Breast Center has a dedicated team of breast surgical oncologists and reconstructive surgeons. Combining state-of-the-art technology with superior medical and surgical care, our surgeons are pioneering advanced breast surgery and reconstruction techniques including partial mastectomies with oncoplastic reduction mammoplasties, nipple-sparing and skin-sparing mastectomies with reinnervation, and implant or autologous reconstructions.

Our Center has been awarded a three-year full accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) for providing quality evaluation and management of their patients with breast disease.

“Our commitment to patients with breast cancer is unwavering. We walk with them through their entire journey, from diagnosis to survivorship, and specialize in caring for patients at an increased risk for developing breast cancer as well” said Christine Teal, MD, breast surgeon. "The NAPBC accreditation underscores our dedication and acknowledges the excellent care offered at our comprehensive center.”

Meals With Teal

Dr. Christine Teal has always been passionate about healthy, creative cooking. She majored in nutrition at Cornell University and has utilized that passion to create the GW Breast Care Center’s “Meals with Teal” program. This innovative program offers patients the opportunity to connect with Dr. Teal through personalized healthy cooking tutorials. With warmth, humor, and valuable cooking tips, Dr. Teal and special guests take a step-by-step approach to creating a meal in Dr. Teal’s home kitchen.

Participants of the program receive a video link to watch at any time, recipe and nutrition information for each meal, and, thanks to a grant from Safeway, a gift card to purchase the recommended ingredients. Dr. Teal’s daughter, Ashley, also a nutrition major at Cornell, helps to create the nutrition content. Dr. Teal is thrilled to be able to reach patients in this way and share her long-time passion of healthy eating.
