People who I've allowed to see my surgery site are amazed at how natural it looks! I had the DIEP flap procedure and I'm happy with it. I will be using him for any and all revisions should I decide to proceed with any.
Dr.Miles was recommended to me from the past chief surgeon of LLUMC because he was an excellent micro vascular surgeon to perform my DIEP breast reconstruct. He is a true artist and his caring nature to the patient and family is outstanding. I have held hands and prayed with him before ...
