SF Chronicle profiles UCSF breast cancer surgeon Laura Esserman

Laura Esserman, MD, MBA is profiled in the July 20 San Francisco Chronicle. The story depicts Esserman’s upbringing in Chicago, her research and her operatic talents—she sings a patient’s requested song as general anesthesia is being administered. Included in the story is breast cancer survivor Jessica Galloway, a mother of three young children who was diagnosed with the disease in 2005; she is now assisting Esserman in a UCSF peer-support program.
