I'm 9 years out now from my breast cancer and reconstruction, and I'm still delighted that the doctors Leber were my surgeons. I had nipple-sparing surgery, monitored by Dr. G. so as to be left good material to work with. I am a spa swimmer for exercise, so the reconstructive choice was and is perfect for me. I lost some feeling in my nipples but kept a normal, active life. Cost below is a guess--insurance covered most everything since it was cancer.
Great review?
My Doctor: Geoffrey E. Leber, MD
My rating:
He happened to be the in-office son of my oncological surgeon--purest luck for me! Dr. Robert was my oncological surgeon, and his son Geoffrey was working in the same Mesa office then. I was lucky to get Dr. Geoffrey before he left reconstruction for aesthetics, solely. Totally professional and caring at all times, my demands for a full double mastectomy were supported, and I felt that all advice was tailored to me and my needs.
Oh my gosh, wow!! That is really fast! I'm so glad that you were able to withstand that. No doubt you are an incredibly strong woman!!
How great to hear that you are still pleased with your results 9 years later. Looking back, what advice do you wish someone had given you when you were at different points in your reconstruction journey?
