Unfortunately, there is no easy, simple solution.

She believes in giving you as much information as possible so you feel comfortable making critical decisions from breast screening to surgery.

Integrity, open communication, and warmth define her professional surgical practice, she will help you take the next critical step.

For the consultation. For surgery. For aftercare.

It is what she does best. 

OUR BREAST CANCER CLINIC PROCESS

A/Prof Krishnan's philosophy is 'You Come First,' it is the guiding principle for her breast surgery and surgical oncology service in Sydney.


You may have had breast cancer screening before this appointment.


The process starts with booking an appointment, and the breast cancer consultant team will answer questions regarding the initial visit.

You then progress to meet her, either face to face or via telehealth for the following.


  • consultation, a detailed discussion (bring your previous images/test results).
  • clinical examination using bedside tests like ultrasound.
  • appropriate diagnosis.
  • thorough explanation and implications of treatment.
  • further investigations and management as necessary.


A/Prof Krishnan has meticulously honed her surgical skills; 'skin to skin,' she performs every procedure with precision and care. If you do not need exhaustive tests or a procedure, whether a general or breast cancer operation, she will guide you on the best options, always tailored for you.


She believes in total patient care, which means you will be looked after during all times of your journey, before, during and immediately after surgery. Expect exceptional aftercare when the general or breast cancer operation is over, and you are on the road to recovery.

Meet Associate Professor  Sandra Krishnan

“At first, I wanted to be a teacher. But as a teenager, I remember feeling helpless in a hospital ward, trying to understand the situation. My grandfather was unwell, and the  doctors were so busy and hard at work, but somehow, he seemed to come last.

It made an impression; I vowed to be different.


As soon as I started studying medicine, everything came together, and I immediately knew what I wanted to become. And as a young medical student in the operating theatre, I realised that this is where the science and art of medicine come together.

Today, as a surgeon, I get to operate using my hands and brain. It’s an incredible experience. Now that I’m also teaching surgery, I tell my students, ‘I owe it to humanity to help make you the best doctor.’


I love our practice because of its values, depth of caring and outstanding clinical work, but mainly it’s the people. We care about each other, not just outcomes, not just the bottom line. And we care about you. Nike says, ‘Just do it.’ My mantra is ‘Do it lovingly.’ And that’s what we do… we do it lovingly.

It’s a good fit for me. My grandfather would have been proud."
