Kristi Funk (born September 22, 1969) is an American breast cancer surgeon notable for her surgical treatment of celebrities Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow.[1][2] Funk opened the Pink Lotus Breast Center in 2009 with her husband, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Andy Funk, just a few short months before giving birth to triplet boys Ethan, Justin and Sebastian Funk.
On May 14, 2013, the same day Jolie publicly disclosed in a New York Times op-ed her BRCA mutation status and the prophylactic mastectomy she underwent earlier that year, Funk released a blog post about Jolie's procedure in which she outlined the stages of surveillance and treatment that were followed in her case.[3][4][5]
