Recommended Doctor
Kristen Anne ZARFOS MD
Surgery - Connecticut Deep River

Dr. Zarfos is truly patient centered. I have followed her from UCONN to St. Francis hospital because I feel that if I ever have another problem with breast cancer, she will be right on top of it. She spends the time to talk to me and is very caring and thoughtful. I have recommended to several other people.

When I was deployed to Iraq in 2007-2008 my wife called to advise me she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was very concerned about finding the right doctor who had the traits that we all want in a health care professional (i.e. skill, experience, integrity, sincerity, sensitivity, concern for others, etc.). My first experience with Dr. Zarfos was telephonically from Iraq when my wife and I wanted to clarify the seriousness of the illness and if it warranted my immediate return. Dr. Zarfos advised us of the seriousness of my wife's condition and assisted me in returning early from deployment to care for my spouse. Olga has been visiting Dr. Zarfos almost two years now. That said, after almost thirty years in the military, I have met few professionals of her caliber...when I think of Dr. Zarfos I think of the likes of Generals Patraeus and Odierno in my profession...the very best!

Doctor Zarfos is the breast surgeon I see annually. I have been a patient of hers for 20 years and am astounded by the fine care I have received. She was instrumental in getting "drive through mastectomies" to the attention of the Congress as well as being commended publicly (in one of his State of the Union addresses) by President Bill Clinton. She is tireless in her devotion to providing excellent care to all patients. She has also been a teaching professor in the surgical department of the UCONN Medical Center. She always takes time to explain everything carefully and I have never felt "rushed" when I have an appointment. She's the best!!
