Hear What Patients Say About Us
I've been a patient of Dr. Dayan for almost two years now, I followed him after he left MSK and I feel blessed for that decision. Dr. Joseph Dayan is an exceptional surgeon. First and foremost, he exhibits authentic care for his patients which creates a foundation of trust and tranquility when one is going through such a difficult time in one's life. I was blessed to have found him when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and he performed a double mastectomy and later DIEP breast reconstruction. I can't say enough about how wonderful and attentive he was during the surgery and recovery process. Also, his entire team at his Westwood office are very caring, attentive and prompt getting back to me anytime I needed them. Thank you Dr. Dayan and his team for everything you've done for me!

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.

Dr. Abdollahi is very patient, informative, and talented!

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.
Dr. Chang is very personable. Very good at alleviating stress and fear regarding reconstructive surgery. Would highly recommend
Diane S.
Dr. Chang is kind, compassionate and answers all my questions. He takes time with me and makes me feel comfortable. Should you ever need his services for reconstruction, he is definitely the person to go to. I would highly recommend him.
Mary
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.
Madelyn N
Dr. Small did 2 surgeries for me. I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction, and he was wonderful. I am very thankful for his surgical expertise and wonderful bedside manner.

I’ve been with Dr.Suarez for about 5+ years and so far she has been one of the best Doctors I have seen. I love the way Dr.Suarez treats me as a patient. At first I was a little worried because some doctors can be rude but Dr.Suarez instantly made me feel comfortable she’s so nice and caring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs her service! I have been with Dr. Suarez for over 5 years and so far she has been one of the best doctors I have seen.

Guadalupe A.
This is my second time seeing Dr. Suarez and she treated me like I have been seeing her for years. She listens carefully and gives all the time needed to her patients, she made me feel like I am the only patient she is seeing that day while I know she is very busy. I will look forward to my next appointment with her because she is different than other doctors with the amount of care she gives to her patients. Also her lead nurse Natasha Echavarria was very kind and made sure that I have all the information needed and provided me with her phone extension just in case I needed anything so I have direct contact with the the doctor’s office.
Mays S.
When I was told I had breast cancer for the third time and visited Dr. Adriana Suarez-Ligon I was terrified. I was to be evaluated for possible breast surgery. She was professional but also kind and compassionate, as she explained the options to me. Dr. Suarez-Ligon spent over an hour with me and supplied me with several means of communicating with her for any further questions. She offered me hope. Her office staff, especially her nurse, Daria, helped arrange all the prerequisites to surgery. Two weeks later, I had a successful bilateral mastectomy. I am healing well thanks to her skill as a surgeon. I strongly recommend her for any woman who needs an excellent breast surgeon. She will take the time you need to make decisions and offer support pre and post procedures.
Kim S.
Team is amazing and so sweet Dr Suarez is an amazing beautiful surgeon her nurse Natasha is so pleasant and explained everything well
Giselavaz V.
Dr Chagares bedside manner and knowledge in his field is absolutely astonishing! He is a breath of fresh air while going through the whole process of surgery. He takes his time while in the room and doesn’t make you feel rushed or any question asked he answers without hesitation! His office staff is pleasant and always have smiles on their faces! Would recommend this doctor to anyone wanting to feel safe and secure!
Jennifer W.
I would Absolutely recommend Dr Chagares and his team. He is completely engaged and informative. He Smiles more than any Doctor I’ve ever seen and makes you feel like you are the only one that matters at that moment. His staff is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and helpful. This has been a wonderful experience and I Would recommend anyone to this practice. Thank You
Dawnell H.
Dr. Frost is the best doctor and I have recommended him to everyone. My entire experience has been pleasant. He takes his time and really cares.
Pauline B.
Simply the best! If you’re looking for a compassionate, professional, intelligent, experienced surgeon….i can honestly say…Dr Iucci is outstanding!!! I trust her 100%.
Maria C.
Dr. Iucci is an amazing surgeon, and an incredibly caring, friendly person. At a time when I was very concerned about my surgery, she took the time to reassure and explain everything to me. She also has a great sense of humor! I'd really give her a 5+++ score!!
Pat S.
I recently had a cholecystectomy performed by Dr. Lisa Iucci, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care that I received. From my initial consultation, she took the time to explain the procedure in detail. The surgery itself went amazingly well. I attribute my quick recovery to Dr. Iucci's skill, expertise, and compassion! I highly recommend Dr. Iucci, if you are in need of surgery, specifically gallbladder removal!!
Maria C.
Dr Brown is one of the kindest and most caring doctor I have met. She treats you like a friend instead of just a patient. Highly recommended. She truly is a wonderful person.
Lissa N.
It was the first time visiting Dr. Chagares in his Tinton Falls office as a patient. He was the warmest and friendliest surgeon I have ever encountered in my 20+ years in the healthcare industry. He took the time to address my concerns and answered all of my questions without feeling rushed.
Keith G.
Dr. Frost and his staff were very kind and helpful. Examination was thorough and the procedure I had done wasn’t as frightening as I thought it would be. Results were given promptly. Dr. Frost explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Scheduling was easy.
DW
Dr. Brown is the most down to earth, very caring and makes you feel as if you were friends for years! She has made an extremely stressful situation so much more bearable, I was completely freaked out about my next appointment until I met her for the first time! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and her team!!
Jessica M.
The first people that greeted me was the receptionist. Both were very pleasant. I then saw Dr. Brown’s assistant who was very thorough, professional and courteous. And last, but certainly not least I saw Dr. Brown, a beautiful soul and optimist that I admire, respect and place my life in her hands. She has both good hands and good bedside manners. Many people will say the best care is rendered in places like Sloan Kettering, but I continually receive it locally with my team of professionals. Warm regards, Sheila Denise Cook
Sheila C.
Dr. Brown is wonderful, as is the staff in the office. She is extremely friendly and makes you comfortable with what can be a rather daunting experience. She performed a surgery on me in January and even leading up to the procedure, I felt comfortable and at ease. I have a barely visible scar from the incision, which I was worried about. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that I know that was in need of a breast surgeon.
Maggie R.
The practice along with Dr. Brown are excellent. Easy check in, little wait time, nurses are wonderful & skilled. Dr. Brown is knowledgeable, kind & will give you all the time you need to discuss what your needs are. Thank you so much for all you do!
Lynne T.
Dr Brown and her entire staff are phenomenal. They have held my hand through this 5 year journey reassuring me all the way. It is with joy that I can say I am cancer free, due to her early detection and treatment. I recommend her highly.
A. Mewborn
Everyone here is fantastic. Dr. Saad, Dr. Iucci, Kayla and their whole team are very good at what they do and they have great communication and patience! Highly recommend.

Very compassionate and professional with a side of sunshine. Staff is well trained and always professional. Never wait to be seen always make you feel comfortable and are easy to get ahold of at all times. Dr. D'Angelo and Dr. Saad did an excellent job with explaining and detailing treatment. Great bedside manner and professional.
Wendy R.
I was super impressed with this practice. From the initial contact made over the phone, making an appointment, to the front desk, medical assistant, surgery scheduler and finally Dr. Desiree D'angelo-Donovan they were ALL top notch!! I could not be happier with my experience! Highly recommend!
Kelly M.
Dr.D'Angelo is just wonderful. She's trustworthy, kind and very attentive. Her staff is always friendly, nice and patience. I am a new patient and was very much welcomed. So grateful and thankful for their services.

Guided me through everything with ease and patience. Always available and the staff is awesome. I felt I was exactly where I should be!!
Lucy I.
Dr. Chagares not only a super skillful professional with years of experience but amazing human being. From the very first moment you meet him you get charged with positive energy that comes from him. His warmth, smile, confidence all real, not fake. My hernia surgery and healing went very well! Entire staff was friendly and caring and I felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend this team. Thank you, Doctor Chagares, you are one of a kind!
Anatoly N.

Jack S.
I like everything about Dr. Frost. He is very kind, professional and he is very knowledgeable in his field. He explains everything clearly and makes you feel confident in his abilities.
A. T.
When I first met Dr Suarez I was scared and confused and wanted a Dr that was not just good at their field but that cared for the patients. I was Blessed to have met Dr: Suarez. She made me feel comfortable right away. Her office is always very clean. Wait time is minimal. Her nurse and her team/ staff are all very nice and friendly. She has been a Great Oncologist and an Amazing Person full of compassion. Any patient would be lucky to have her as their Dr. She is knowledgeable in her field and aims to help patients improve their health and overall quality of life. Any Hospital or Dr would be fortunate to have her represent them. I’m grateful to have her with me through my long journey. However their is a down side. Dr Suarez Answering service and her office answering calls is an on going unpleasant experience. Hopefully she can eventually resolve this and get Office Assistance that answers calls and not always sends to answering service. Which it’s frustrating because messages don’t get received anyway. Thank you Dr: Suarez
Dorilys F
I met Dr. Iucci when I was admitted to the hospital with gallbladder issues. Immediately upon meeting her, I felt comfortable. I’ve had a lot of terrifying medical experiences over the years and to say that I was scared to have gallbladder surgery is an understatement. Dr. Iucci is easy to talk to and treated me like a friend. Surgery was smooth recovery was easy. I would definitely recommend her
Brenna P.
Dr Lisa Lucci is an excellent surgeon. Most likely an expert at using laparoscopic techniques. I had minimal pain post-op. She explained all aspects of my procedure well. I was fortunate to have her for the surgeon on call for my appendectomy procedure.
