My Doctor: Ariel N. Rad, MD, PhD

My rating:

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.

I agree! How wonderful you were able to do that! I think the road map shows the Toughfight we"ve been through! Anything that helps us feel better about ourselves is awesome, we deserve it! I want the whole makeover! ;)
