“Fantastic Surgeon with Great People Skills - Baltimore, MD”

Posted by maevers

Facelift

Two years ago, before I met Dr R, I had a mastectomy with the amazing team at Johns Hopkins. The cosmetic results were the stuff of dreams -- MUCH better breasts than I had before! The overall experience was so fantastic that I asked my plastic surgeon to give me a face lift. He told me the best person to help me freshen up my looks was Dr R. Dr R listened to me really carefully at every step of the process, and gave me exactly what I wanted. He was attentive and really supportive, answering endless questions and giving me as much (or as little) explanation as I wanted. Like the other doctors I've known at Hopkins, he's not just a great doctor but also a real person, with good people-skills and a commitment to his patients. He made me feel beautiful. My breast cancer days are behind me. I have a whole new lease on life, and a whole new healthy and fresh look as I head into my future. I can't recommend him highly enough.

“S-GAP Breast Reconstruction - Baltimore, MD”

Posted by Ellicott City4000

Breast Reconstruction

Dr. R, Johns Hopkins Hospital, was exceptional in every way. Surgically – I have been nothing but thrilled with all aspects of my process. Beginning with my initial consult, the bilateral mastectomies, the optimal care of my expanders, and now my reconstruction surgery, I have been so emotionally strong and well through the entire experience. But more than that, Dr. R has been the utmost in professional, courteous and kind to every one of my family and friends. My two teenage sons and my husband, and my “Team of Advocates” who marched through this process at my side, were always welcome to voice their concerns or anxieties. Dr. R was ALWAYS accessible and responsive to my “teams” needs. It doesn’t get much better than that.

“Skillful and Sensitive - Baltimore, MD”

Breast Reconstruction

I found Dr. R to be extraordinarily responsive, replying to emails promptly with thorough explanations, and in office visits, spending as much time with me as my frequently long lists of questions required. I rarely felt hurried.

“Replace Saline Implants with Silicone - Baltimore, MD”

Posted by Dutchie

Dr. Rad was patient as I explained my desire to switch implants. He examined me and agreed he could improve the look and feel, especially providing symmetry. He did not rush the visit, either pre-op or post-op. He answered my questions about care for the scars and recommended a topical ointment until they are fully healed with some laser treatment as an option in the future. There was some confusion as to insurance coverage but it was resolved before the day of surgery. Johns Hopkins is a very busy facility so a 30 min. wait for appointments was quite acceptable.

“A Wonderful and Exceptionally Skilled Doctor; Kind and Responsive to the Nervous Concerns of Patients - Baltimore, MD”

Dr. Rad was initially my plastic surgeon related to breast cancer. He was so great in dealing with my surgeries related to the mastectomy and reconstruction that I felt totally sure and comfortable that he would do a wonderful job with cosmetic surgery on my face and he did!!!

“Facelift Surpasses my Expectations - Baltimore, MD”

Posted by Charlotte Double Mastectomy, Better than Ever

Dr. Rad's surgical skill and demeanor are beyond excellent.WOW! My before and after picture certainly has a story. At 54 years of age I've had 3 sets of breasts in 2 years. Now, That must be a record. Breast cancer, yes. A renown clinic in Rochester, MN did the handiwork on sets 1&2. Set 2 had a lifespan of 5 months. I was then faced with retreading the retreads. My answer was Dr. Rad @John Hopkins. His exceptional skill restored my body back which far exceded my expectations.

“Not Only a Surgeon, but Also an Artist!”

Posted by carolshenry

Breast Reconstruction

As stated above Dr. R is a wonderful surgeon, artist and person. I am gaining my confidence back as a woman with each surgery I have had to go through. If it wasn't for Dr. R and his former professor/teacher/comrade, Dr. Jaime Flores who had also been at Johns Hopkins, I would not be alive and thriving today. I would highly recommend Dr. R.

“Giving Myself Back to Me but Only Better, Completed Journey with Pride - Baltimore, MD”

Posted by Charlotte Double Mastectomy, Better than Ever

Breast Reconstruction

Dr. R is an extremely skilled surgeon with the most discerning eye, an ability to create fabulous. Dr. R gave me back with extreme precision, results beyond my expections. He was the light at the end of my tunnel. Breast cancer, double mastectomy, and a full fledged positive war against cancer left my body a road map. Dr. R had quite a challenge that another renowned clinic refused. Dr. R's demeanor excells just as his surgical skill does. I faced my surgeries with a smile and full of delightful hope with Dr. R as my surgeon. I also had Dr. R do a facelift as a gift to myself for surviving the cancer. The results give a complete new meaning to the word hope and skilled perfectionism.
