WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING

“Within 12 hours of finding Defiant—I had an appointment. Dr. Srinivasa listened, let me cry, and within minutes, I was scheduled for a mammogram and ultrasound the following week.”

— Maya, 44

“My PCP couldn’t see me for over a month. Urgent care couldn’t refer me for a mammogram... I was infuriated, scared, and lost — until I found Defiant, an organization created for exactly this reason.”

— Allison, 28

“They found 3 masses in my breast. I don’t think I have ever cried so much in my life. I didn’t even want to leave my bed, but the Defiant team texted and called, and even sent a care package... I felt so taken care of by them [Defiant].”

— Priya, 51

"Having somebody kind of guide me through and not feeling so alone... and having things explained and kind of tailored to me. Seems like something a lot better than trying to piecemeal it together."

— Carmen, 37
