Focused entirely on the breast.
Every patient gets a plan built around her diagnosis, her anatomy, and her priorities. These are the areas Dr. Mabry treats most often.

Skin- and nipple-sparing mastectomy
When mastectomy is needed or chosen, coordinated closely with reconstructive surgeons so reconstruction can begin at the same operation when appropriate.

High-risk assessment and prevention
For family history, genetic mutations, or high-risk lesions: enhanced screening, risk-reducing strategies, and surgery when it is the right choice.

Her approach
Calm communication, meticulous technique, and a team-based plan.
A breast cancer diagnosis arrives with a flood of information and very little time to absorb it. Dr. Mabry's first job is to slow that down: to explain what the imaging and pathology actually say, what the options are, and what each one means for you.
Her training spans academic surgery, a dedicated oncoplastic fellowship with Dr. Melvin Silverstein at USC, and years at the John Wayne Cancer Institute, where she helped train surgical oncology fellows. She brings that rigor to a community practice where patients are known by name.
Surgery is one part of breast cancer care. She works alongside Mercy Health's medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, genetic counselors, and reconstructive surgeons so the whole plan fits together.
