Patient Reviews
Sep 30, 2023
I have had a cpl reconstructive surgeries (not by him) that were awful! My last TRAM flap surgery a few years ago, left me w horrible scars that I was so ashamed of that I wouldn’t even date anyone. Between dealing w cancer a few times, failed surgeries, post op infections, & nasty scars, I honestly didn’t think anyone would ever operate on me again. This man (w/out hesitation) took me in, had a plan w confidence, & said he could correct my scars (amongst other things) that I had no idea that he could even do! I am (1) month post op, & I cannot believe how happy I am w my appearance already. I knew I was never gonna be 100% again .. I didn’t even think I’d be at 50% to be honest! I feel like I am >80% whole again .. & I never thought that could be remotely possible. He is a sweet & caring doctor, as is his NP. They listen without judgement and understood my “PTSD” from all that I had gone thru. He saved me in so many ways and gave me my life back!! I recommend him wholeheartedly.
