Thank You...

There are not enough kind words to say about Kristi. Not only is she an amazing doctor but a wonderful compassionate human being. She guided me through one of the toughest times in my life and was there without reservation for anything I needed. I knew I was in good hands from the moment I met her. Looking back I can’t imagine going through any of it without her on my team. I will forever be thankful to her.

Worst Service Ever

by blmarsh

I booked an appointment here for this morning at 8:15. I hadn't been here before but my radiologist had recently moved to this practice and I wanted the continuity. I was told to show up at 8 am, which I did. The woman at the front desk was on a personal phone call and barely glanced up at me. I told her I was there for an 8:15 appointment and needed to fill out the new patient paperwork. She nodded at me and I took a seat. 10 minutes later, after giggling on the phone the whole time, she got up and left and was replaced by another woman who didn't acknowledge me at all. I told her who I was and asked her if she had paperwork for me to fill out. She looked through a stack of files on her desk and couldn't find one for me. I tried to confirm that I had an appointment at 8:15 and she said she didn't know because her computer wasn't started yet. Seriously? It was now 8:12. I asked her if this was a real business. She looked confused. I told her I'd been there almost 15 minutes and was basically being ignored. She told me she had only met me 30 seconds ago so how could she have ignored me. If a business opens at 8 shouldn't the computer at the front desk be turned on and shouldn't the receptionist be prepared to greet people and sign them in. I said I had a lousy feeling about the place and walked out. Now I need to find a new place to get a mammogram. Only go here if you have all day to spend waiting for service.

Dr. Kristi Funk and Staff of PLBC are crusaders for breast c

by BH eyebrow gal

I have very large breast and I am always feeling them for changes and lumps. One day after coming out the shower I noticed what I though was an indentation. Since I tend to have a very overactive imagination I started goggling everything about "dimple" and indentation. Bad move.... I was scared but researched breast specialist and stumbled on PLBC. What a wonderful place.....from the moment you dial and get a live person the tone is set...so nice, helpful, warm. then you walk into this non medicinal setting. Beautiful blonde wood with pink flower arrangements. Staff members in pink and black scrubs. filling out your with paperwork with a pink pen. The you are taken into the room and you don't put on a scratchy paper gown you're given an actual robe . Then in walks the beautiful, radiant, warm, intelligent Dr. Kristi Funk and all the pieces just fall into place. She put me at ease right away just by her being who she is.She checked my breast thoroughly told me I had overstrecthed ligament from have very large breast and to come back in 7 months when I turn 40. I have my mamo booked for Jan 5.2012. because I know if I should ever have to deal with any scare or the actual disease I would want her to be my wing woman. Dr. Funk and the staff of PLBC are doing a great thing. They have created a warm loving feminine enviornment to address the health of a woman's breast. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't patronize PLBC.

Amazing Center

by JenJP

PLBC is a gift and Dr. Kristi Funk is a blessing. I was diagnosed three years ago during a routine exam. My gynecologist, Dr. Ayanna Walden, found an odd shaped lump and immediately decided "Let's just be safe, I am going to send you to my good friend for and exam" I was 34, too young, no way this is cancer. So I headed over to meet Dr. Funk late on a Friday afternoon. I was the last appointment of the day. I was nervous. But the minute Dr. Funk walked into the room I knew I was in good hands. She was kind, bright, happy and informative. She was also not going to leaving anything on the table. After an ultrasound, she did a biopsy. I think about it now and am so thankful for the decisions both she and Ayanna made that day. They saved my life. I returned on Monday to find out the results were positive for cancer. Shock went through me like lightening. I couldn't talk, just cried. Kristi was upset as well but reassuring. She said this was going to be a long road but there was hope, always hope. I couldn't talk, but had to call my parents. When my mom picked up the phone I couldn't make a sound. I handed the phone to Kristi. I don't know why, it seemed unfair that she should have to tell my parents, but she did. It was such a kind and loving gesture. I had only know her for about an hour and in that that moment there was no question about who I was going to partner with in this fight.

Since that day there have been many tests and follow up appointments a flawless lumpectomy. Kristi is a talented, skilled surgeon. And even more astounding, She moved mountains to open PLBC while pregnant with triplets! But that is Krisit, always hopful, positive, frank and caring, determined and ahead of the curve.

PLBC is an amazing facility with a great staff. I truly believe that PLCB and Kristi will make a tremendous impact in the fight against breast cancer.

Grateful Husband

by sohappy70

When my wife told me she had breast cancer I was floored-didn’t know what to say. Trying to be a supportive husband I knew wanted her to have the best doctor possible but was feeling overwhelmed by the whole process. In the next couple of weeks we interviewed two surgeons and one oncologist but were unable to get answers or information that made sense.

After speaking to a friend, the name Dr Kristi Funk came up. We looked at her web site and we were both impressed with her credentials and that she was a surgeon who specialized in the breast.

Within 48 hours we were in her office for a consultation. From the moment Dr Funk entered the room she made us feel comfortable and answered all of our questions and concerns. She left us, along with her approach to breast conservation, knowing that she was the doctor we were looking for.

My wife was able to have a lumpectomy in October and her prognosis is bright. We are enjoying life again. Thank you Dr Funk, and your wonderful staff for guiding us through this very difficult time.
