Let’s talk about breasts, BABY! 🎀

👋 I’m Dr. Robyn G Roth, but my friends call me @theboobiedocs, my popular social media account where I discuss breast cancer and breast health in an educational and fun way. 👩🏻‍⚕️

I’m a board-certified Radiologist who specializes in breast imaging and image guided procedures.🩻 I also happen to be a 40-something Ashkenazi Jewish woman with a strong family history of breast cancer and BRCA, so I know a thing or two about breast cancer. 💝

And this is my podcast, The Girlfriend’s Guide to Breast Cancer, Breast Health, & Beyond.

If you or someone you love has been affected by breast cancer than this podcast is for you. Each episode, I talk to top breast cancer experts, thrivers, previvors, and those who love them, to bring you THE BREAST INFORMATION. 💕

🆕 episodes will be released every few weeks- subscribe so you don’t miss an episode. 🎧

So get ready to learn, laugh, and let’s be breasties! 👯‍♀️
