After my bilateral, I thought I could live life without breasts. Yet, everyday I would worry about what pads to wear; I realized I needed 'breasts' to fit into society. Dr. G was able to perform the reconstruction process over the course of a few months. He was always so precise in every detail of the procedure. Plus, he had an excellent bed side manner. He made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Thank you, Dr. G for making me a woman again!

Great review?
