Breast Reduction
My rating may be because I really needed my hand held along this process. I think I should have verbalized that to him more than I did. All in all the process and working with the surgeon and his staff was terrific. I was very organized and methodical about my decision. They seem to appreciate that I came into this with prepared questions and took personal responsibility for my decision and the process. You can never be too informed. There are no stupid questions so make sure you communicate effectively with your surgeon and his staff. If you don't get 'the warm fuzzies' dealing with them, then find another surgeon.
The Most Caring Doctor - Birmingham, AL

When I had an abnormal mammogram I prayed for wisdom and guidance that God would lead me to the right Doctors. When I first met Dr. Beckenstein and his staff I knew that this was the man that God placed in my life for this purpose. I have never had a Doctor that delivered such caring service! The results of my breast reconstruction and the tummy tuck that I opted for could not me more pleasing to me and my Husband. My Husband says he likes the way I look better than before. Both Dr. Beckenstein and his staff are so available and helpful. I have a ministry that I mentor women with breast cancer and I always highly recommend Dr. Beckenstein and his staff. Mary E. Mullins
