So Perky
I came to Dr Mandel in 2024 for an implant swap and lift. I appreciated his approach; front loading me with risks and unknown outcomes, rather than selling me perfection. He is very honest, verifies if the patient is a good candidate for surgery, and is thorough with the facts. I felt comfortable knowing I could leave every decision in Dr Mandel’s hands giving him little details of my expectations. I let Dr Mandel, the artist and surgeon, do the rest. It’s been 13 months since

Breast Reduction
I recently had a breast reduction with Dr. Mandel and couldn’t be happier with the results. From my first consultation to my final follow-up, Dr. Mandel was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and reassuring. He took the time to explain every detail of the procedure so I knew exactly what to expect before, during, and after surgery. I felt confident and well-informed every step of the way. The care I received was outstanding, and my results have exceeded my expectations. I’m

Above and Beyond Expectations!
I am a 49/F who has lost over 200 lbs. I was seeking a surgeon who would remove the excess abdominal and breast skin. I wasn't expecting a miracle because I know my body was in pretty sad shape. What Dr. Mandel did for me was absolutely far beyond my expectations. I look AMAZING! I will be back for additional procedures in the future. I 100% recommend him and his wonderful staff. He and his entire office has made me feel comfortable, safe and heard. I appreciate you all for making

Happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Mandel
The whole staff, from Sally the receptionist to Dr.Mandel, has made this decision and journey comfortable. Dr. Mandel is very professional and makes what could be an extremely awkward situation less so. Michelle is also very caring, they both have great bedside manners. I am happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr.Mandel!

Couldn't be happier - they look so much better than my first set
Love, love, love the results I ended up with. I went in with ruptured and encapsulated implants. He removed the implants and scar tissue and replaced with new implants. They look so natural and his seamstress skills were on point. Perfect incisions and suturing. I met with 3 excellent surgeons and am so happy I went with him. They look so much better than my first set. This review is 8 weeks post surgery. Wish I had taken a pre and post surgery pic.

The before and after photos are night and day difference
Dr. Mandel is A miracle worker. I was 290 pounds and lost over 160 pounds and this resulted in lots of loose skin. He first did my tummy tuck in 2017 he removed over 36cm of skin and tightened all my muscles. He cut out 4 c-section scars. The before and after photos are night and day difference. In 2022 he did my breast augmentation and implants. Once again he performed a miracle I could never have dreamed of better results. I wish I could afford more surgery, but I tell everyone

Knowledgeable, kind & my breast augmentation results have been amazing
Dr. Mandel is such a knowledgeable and honest doctor. I found his upfront nature refreshing and comforting. When seeking out a professional opinion regarding surgical procedures, I want to know that my surgeon has my best interest in mind. I never once questioned Dr. Mandel sincerity and so happy that he became my surgeon. My results have been amazing. Dr. Mandel was very astute in caring regarding my healing process. Even when I felt like I was asking silly questions, he was

The long awaited Mommy Makeover - 10 days post op and beyond excited
I had my first baby at 16 and my last at 22. I don't even remember what my stomach looked like pre-babies but I was curvy and cute and confident. I lost that, and for 20 years covered it up with Miraclesuit brand swimsuits and cute beach dresses. I told my husband years ago that when the time was right I was putting things back where they belonged. I knew my ab muscles had separated but didn't know how much, and it never mattered how much weight I lost I always still had a hanging

My reduction surgery went perfectly, and I can't believe I waited so long
I honestly don't know where to start when I talk about the absolutely amazing experience, I have had not only with Dr. Mandel, but with Michelle and his entire staff. From the first consultation to now, I have seen nothing but respect, professionalism and genuineness. My reduction surgery went perfectly, and I can't believe I waited so long. I could not be happier with the results and would recommend Dr. Mandel and his staff wholeheartedly!
