Hear What Patients Say About Us
Dr. Usal performed my DIEP flap reconstruction in conjunction with a mastectomy of one breast by another surgeon. Throughout the whole process, he and his entire staff and team made my situation easier by explaining my options and the surgery I chose in detail; including pros, cons and a giving me a realistic view of possible outcomes. They helped with scheduling the various tests that were needed to verify my eligibility for the procedure, making sure I was properly prepared and going up to bat with a reluctant insurance company. The advice on after care for the scars has been ongoing and well explained. I'm so glad I chose the path to healing that I did, it was important for me to feel that I had some control over the process and the outcome. Probably if I had to choose one word to describe my experience, it would be "gratitude".

I highly recommend Dr. Ritwik Grover. My experience (regarding his having performed rhinoplasty) was extremely positive, right from the very beginning. He took a significant amount of time to meet with me (as much time as I needed!), answered all questions, and appropriately and supportively addressed my concerns. He is highly skilled, innovative, and quite obviously keeps abreast of the latest data and findings within the field of plastic surgery. A huge bonus is his cordial personality; he is kind, compassionate, and caring. Additionally, the office staff (Lynn, Priscilla, Michelle, etc.) were equally as kind and accommodating. VERY WELL DONE, Dr. Grover! You're the best!

Dr. Kauffman and the entire team are awesome. My Daughter recently had a mastopexy (breast lift) back in January and from start to her last visit and every question in between they were amazing. Dr. Kauffman explained the whole procedure to both of us to ease our minds and at each visit she came home reassured of the progress and happy. 4 months and she feels they look amazing and she is thrilled. His calm demeanor and relaxed personality are an asset.

Thank you Dr. Ashinoff. After a second diagnosis of breast cancer I sought out Dr. Ashinoff for his advice. He performed reconstruction surgery and I could't be happier with the outcome. At the age of almost 61, I can go bra less, lol. You are an amazing surgeon and I am Blessed to have found you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Rosemary S.
Dr. A is very kind and was extremely helpful in reassuring me throughout my breast cancer journey. He was accommodating to my needs and answered any questions I had.

I’ve been wanting to get a breast reduction and lift for 10 years due to chronic neck pain and insecurity. I’m post op 4 weeks and getting tons of compliments, no more neck pain, and feeling confident! Dr. Abdollahi is caring and takes his time. His staff is also amazing.
Viviana
After battling breast cancer for 4 years I was unable to look at myself in the mirror. I came to Dr. Abdollahi for diep flap revision and I couldn’t be happier with my results! I went from feeling ugly and deformed to feeling feminine again. I didn’t think it was possible but he worked magic. The office staff, especially Natalie, advocated for me with the insurance company. Every woman deserves reconstruction after having their breasts removed.
Debi
The most excellent care received from a physician and his office staff. I could not recommend a better office. I needed reconstruction after breast cancer and Dr. Ibrahim was the best choice. He walked me through every step and always had a kind word to say. Thank you!!!!
Ray M.
After years of back shoulder and neck pain due to heavy breasts my primary care physician suggested that I receive a breast reduction. She recommended that I make a consultation with Dr. Ibrahim. That consultation was in August of 2021. Dr. Ibrahim performed my breast reduction on July 18, 2022. I couldn’t be more pleased with the life changing outcome No more pain and my breasts look wonderful. Dr. Ibrahim is a fantastic surgeon.
Lucy L.
What amazed me about Dr. Ibrahim is his personal connection. He always takes the time to answer your questions and immediately responds to calls or emails. It made a tough experience much easier. His whole staff is wonderful. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing breast reconstruction post mastectomy.
Priscilla B.
Dr. Chang is very thorough and he listens to the patients. He puts them at ease with his calm manner and is confident in his abilities which in turn give the patients confidence. I would highly recommend him.
Paul W.

I had DIEP Flap surgery after breast cancer. Dr. Chang is kind and so friendly. I’m so happy and grateful that I chose him to do my surgery. Today’s visit was great. We discussed all of my concerns and questions. He answered each one with full answers.
Dawn R.
Dr. Colen is amazing! I have nothing but positive things to say about her. She was very professional, caring and kind throughout the process and always listened to my concerns. She did a wonderful job with my best reduction surgery and I am so happy with the results! I would highly recommend her as a plastic surgeon !
Laura S.
My experience with Dr. Colen and her staff has been nothing but excellent. From the first visit I knew I was in the hands of an amazing surgeon. I could not be more thrilled with my outcome. I am happy to recommend her and her office.
Dana M.
I had a botched breast reduction done in 2017 and I thought there was no hope. Dr. Colen completely changed my life! she is incredible! The healing process was so amazing, and her office staff is so nice!
Margaret M.
I met with a few different surgeons before I met Dr. Colen, and immediately, I knew that she was the surgeon for me. When I finally decided to do the breast reduction and tummy tuck, she said that it would be life-changing for me, and it really is. Everyone I encountered in Dr. Colen‘s office it was wonderful warm and welcoming. I always felt important and well cared for. The day of my surgery everything went super smooth. I had little to no pain and everyone was super attentive. It was the same for all my follow up visits. I really didn’t have to do anything except concentrate on myself and my healing which was a real change for me. I want to thank Dr. Colen and her entire staff, especially nurse Michele for taking care of me and giving me a new lease on life ❤️
Natalie Z.
Dr. Colen is a wonderful surgeon. It was a pleasure coming to this office. Her staff is amazing- especially Michele who never lost patience. No question went unanswered and I had complete trust in Dr. Colen’s capabilities. I have already recommended her to others.
Safhrana B.
We had the best experience with the Plastic Surgery Center, particularly Dr. Herman and his excellent staff. The staff were attentive, professional and expedient. Dr. Herman is probably the best surgeon on the east coast. His skill not withstanding, he has a warm and competent bed side manner and he did a tremendous job with our 14 year old son. Amazing!! Thank you so much!!
Rugby D.
I wish I could give a higher rating for Dr. Herman. Dr. Herman a skilled surgeon, has excellent his bedside manners, very patient w his patients. He takes all the time a patient needs explaining everything to you. His entire staff provide a positive experience. They never made me feel uncomfortable. In fact treated me as a friend rather then a patient. His nurse is always reachable and very prompt with getting back to you. I highly recommend Dr. Herman and his staff!!!
Nese D.
If I could give a higher rating than excellent for all aspects of my experience with Dr. Herman, I would. Dr. Herman is not only a skilled surgeon, but his patience and bedside manner is extraordinary. The entire staff work together seamlessly to provide a positive experience.They made me feel comfortable, respected and safe before, during and after surgery. Even going as far as asking what music I liked and giving me warm blankets. If only I could go to this office and Dr. Herman for all my medical needs, I’d be set.
Carl D.
Dr. Usal improved my pain immensely. I am very thankful for the results that were accomplished. He explained the procedure well and everything turned out just as he said. I have no complaints!
James F.
Dr Usal is very knowledgeable, caring & compassionate. I was referred to him after a bilateral mastectomy. He is straight forward on his instructions & outcomes. Mariann his nurse is also very good & compassionate. Thank you for all you do!
Donna M.
I was referred to Dr. Usal by my plastic surgeon that placed breast implants in after a bilateral mastectomy. I was in severe pain so my doctor sent me to Dr. Usal. Dr. Usal recommended pain management and breast rehabilitation first but that didn't work so he preformed the Diep Flap surgery after taking out the implants. I do not have pain anymore. He is a confident, intelligent and kind man that shows compassion to his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Usal!!
Trudi Z.
Dr. Usal is so intelligent, kind, caring and dedicated. He is everything you would look for in a doctor. He explained my DIEP flap sugery to me and my family step by step and answered all our questions. I was so comfortable and confident after meeting Dr. Usal. He did a fantastic job! I am a month out and feel amazing and pain free. The results are magnificent! Dr. Usal is the BEST!
Courtney H.
Dr. Ritwik Grover, Physician Assistant Ashley Kovac, and all his staff have made my Breast Cancer Reconstruction journey easier, more than that — have helped give me confidence in my new place in this world as a double mastectomy woman. Dr. Grover is a skilled surgeon, a physician who pays attention to the entire person and provides a holistic approach to his patient's medical care. I am honored to say I know this fine Doctor, feel blessed to have him care for me during this difficult time in my life!
Tereza E.
I really enjoyed my breast reduction experience. Laurel and Dr. Tzvi made my experience great. They were able to fit my surgery in within short notice, and I got the results I always wanted. The office always answered my questions I needed very fast and was very helpful.

Dr. Small and his staff are wonderful! Being diagnosed with breast cancer is scary in itself, but Dr. Small made me see a silver lining in all of this. He is with you every step of the way and explains everything thoroughly. I highly recommend this amazing doctor and his staff.
