I felt extremely nervous, anxious and excited all at once walking into Dr. E office for my breast augmentation consultation. This procedure is something that I’ve wanted to do for so long, but now I was finally taking the first real step.

Helpful review?

My Doctor: Alan Engler, MD

My rating:

The nerves quickly subsided, however, when I walked in and was greeted by two staff whose smiles and friendly attitudes instantly made me feel more comfortable. Even the layout of the office, the cozy waiting area with its ‘feels like home atmosphere,’ put me more at ease. During the consultation, Dr. E continued to make me feel relaxed while we discussed my expectations, concerns and desired results. Given the amount of research I have done and the excellent recommendation from a close family friend I knew he was a renowned surgeon in his field, but I did not expect to be equally as impressed by his warmth and good nature. Dr. E and his team continued to impress me throughout my experience. On the days leading up to the surgery I spoke several times to the staff and Dr. E himself regarding final decisions on size, as they truly wanted to ensure the best outcome would be achieved given my body type and desired results. There were also several times I called to make sure I was following the appropriate pre-op protocol to calm those last minute nerves, and each time they were readily available and extremely patient with me. The actual surgery went as seamlessly as I could ever have hoped for and I could not be any happier with the results. During the recovery period not only was Dr. E extremely responsive, he also personally called, emailed, and texted me several times a day to check in on my status. If he was going to be unavailable for a certain period of time he let me know in advance. Knowing Dr. E and his team were there if needed at any given moment was invaluable. One month later, I am feeling great and my confidence has sky rocketed. I can honestly say the entire experience surpassed all my expectations.

Hi New York,

Thanks for the review, but before I add you to the Breast Implant community page could you please provide a bit more information about your experience to fully aid our community.

1. Did you experience pain and downtime, do you have a few more details about the overall procedure?

2. What made you decide to go through with this procedure, how long had you been thinking about it?

3. What do you wish you knew before hand?

Thanks so much,

-Britt
