I was 66 years old, 5 ft tall and wore a 34H bra at the time of the breast reduction. I was always in pain in my neck, shoulders and arms because of the weight of my breasts, but for the previous 2 years the pain had become increasingly severe. I didn't realize until after the surgery how much I had extremely curtailed activity because of pain. I requested pre-approval from my insurance company but was denied because my coverage didn't include breast reduction, even for chronic pain. Dr. Gallego's office offered to do the surgery for a total of $5,000, which also included the anesthesiologist and follow up care. This price made it possible for me to have the surgery and and Dr. Gallego's office kindly scheduled it around my schedule. The only other charge was for pathology for $276 and my insurance, for some reason, picked this up.
I now wear a 34D bra and since the surgery, I haven't had any pain in my shoulders, neck and arms. Dr. Gallego and his wonderful staff were very supportive before and after the surgery. Scars are healing well and, about 6 weeks after surgery, I increased activity to a level I'd not experienced in a long time.
Initially my primary doctor suggested I travel to Sacramento, which is 1 1/2 hours away from my home, to have the surgery. Instead, after talking to Dr. Gallego, I elected to have him do the surgery. I was especially happy to have the surgery at the Sutter Surgical Center because I'd had a hysterectomy there 7 years before and had been very happy with the care I'd received from their positive friendly staff.
I highly recommend Dr. Gallego because I received excellent treatment in his care.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
460 Plumas Blvd., Yuba City, California
Dr. Gallego is professional, friendly and sincere. He took the time to address any concerns and he answered my questions completely and clearly. My scars are fading and it's almost impossible to see that surgery was done at all. I am so very grateful for Dr. Gallego's surgical skill. After 3 months post surgery I am finished with scheduled follow up, but was assured by Dr. Gallego and his staff to contact them if I have any concerns in the future. This reassurance is comforting and I'm glad treatment is over but I will miss Dr. Gallego and his friendly supportive staff.
