We are always here for you
The day a woman (or a man) feels a lump in their breast or is told of an abnormal mammogram can be one of the worst days of their life. It can mark the beginning of a scary and nerve wracking journey. This is why we founded Pinnacle Breast Health where the philosophy is to diagnose and treat everyone in a timely and professional manner. After we perfected diagnostic and surgical skills at some of the finest medical institutions we have turned our attention to providing exceptional care to each patient to ensure the best treatment and outcome.

We advocate for our patients to achieve the best treatment outcomes and experience. We strive for innovation, searching for novel technologies, targeted therapies, less-invasive surgeries and most importantly early cancer detection and prevention.
Dr. Magdalena Plasilova
Magdalena Plasilova, MD, PhD is a board certified breast surgical oncologist, treating benign and malignant breast diseases and a passionate advocate for women’s health. She is skilled at all breast surgeries including breast conservation surgery and nipple sparing mastectomy surgery. Her expertise with ”hidden scar” technique allows her to achieve superior cosmetic results. She is trained in a special mastectomy technique called tumescent dissection that makes it easier for plastic surgeons to do any type of breast reconstruction. She works with a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
She is a native of the Czech Republic and was raised in a culture where artisans and craftsman prided themselves on “Czech golden hands”. She obtained her MD, PhD from Charles University, Prague. Dr. Plasilova completed research fellowships at Cleveland Clinic’s Taussig Cancer Center and at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and a breast surgery fellowship at Yale New Haven Health’s Smilow Cancer Hospital in Connecticut. She worked with leading researchers, such as Nobel Prize laureate Gunter Blobel, MD, PhD, and Stanley Dudrick, MD, a renowned surgeon who pioneered intravenous nutrition.
She is also involved in pioneering research to identify new breast cancer biomarkers and earlier detection. She also has an interest in International/Global Health and is expanding referrals from foreign countries. She is fluent in multiple languages, including Russian and Czech.
What our patients say
I am very happy I chose Dr. Magdalena Plasilova to be my breast surgeon. Even during the pandemic time, she was always available and very accommodating. She scheduled all my appointments and the surgery very quickly so this way I did not have much time to worry and think about the surgery. After my surgery she kept in touch with me and followed up with my all needed appointments. She is a very professional, well mannered and compassion person. She takes well care of her patients and you feel comfortable to be under her care. I recommend her strongly to anyone looking for a good doctor and surgeon.
Dr. Plasilova is a gift. It is now two years since I first met her – had swelling and rash on my breast. She guided me through diagnosis and treatment for inflammatory breast cancer – always being exceptionally kind and nurturing, as well as thorough and taking the time to explain everything – even printing out the latest research to answer any questions I’ve had. She is exactly the type of expert guiding force you want in charge of your care, even with the most difficult diagnosis you will know you are in the best, most-skilled hands.
I recently had surgery and was very impressed with Dr. Plasilova. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience considering circumstances. The level of expertise and professionalism mixed with sincere kindness and a genuine way of being made it perfect. Thank you.
