Just WOW! Had my breast reduction with Dr Slack 6 months ago. Was nervous and didn’t know how to find the right doctor who would hear me and have my interest in mind when operating. Boy, did I luck out with Dr Ginger Slack! I knew I wanted to go to a female surgeon simply bc IMO women understand women better and have a keen eye as to the appropriate size, shape, etc. Also, women are just more meticulous. Full stop. And I am a terrible OCD and very particular, not the easiest of patients, being in the medical field myself. I was floored by Dr Slack’s work! I call her a “Breast Architect”! I mean… Wow! She pulled off all the stops - the size, the shape, the nipple placement - all are perfect. But most importantly, I had no pain after the surgery, didn’t even bother to take one pain pill. The stitches are starting to disappear (I have seen some gnarly scars on my friends after 6 months!). I feel like I had next to no recovery time. I followed Dr.Slack’s orders to the tee and slept on my back for a couple of months. That’s it. A small price to pay in exchange for no excruciating neck and back pain I had prior to the surgery. Dr Slack isn’t just an amazing surgeon, she is a kind and attentive doctor who puts you at ease and helps you make your decision as based on facts, proper testing, and scientifically viable information. She honestly told me what she can do and what she doesn’t do. For example, I asked if she could use a keyhole cut, but she was straight forward to tell me that she uses a different technique. On the other hand, I wanted to keep sensation in my nipples, and Dr Slack made sure to preserve all the tissue and vessel connectivity to my nipple. Her knowledge, her diligence and her magic hands is what you want in a surgeon. Dr Slack advocated for me with my insurance, prepared me psychologically for the surgery by explaining every step, answering my every questions, and putting me at ease during the procedure and after. And separate thanks to the anesthesiologist Dr Valery who did a magnificent job and to the entire UCLA plastic surgery team of highly trained medical professionals and staff who were all kind & knowledgeable, and who made my surgery go smoothly and without hiccups. I cannot recommend Dr Slack and her team enough! I am grateful to these people for making my life better. I found out about Dr Slack online, by reading her reviews. And that is why I am leaving one right now. I thank all those people who took time to leave kind thoughtful reviews that led me to choose Dr Slack and her team.

Ginger Slack did a very routine symmetry procedure after breast cancer was removed. Part of my breast turned purple and she said I could lose that whole area, if not the whole breast. Mind you, this is my non cancer breast. She was very casual about this...its not a normal complication. I am young and healthy. She said she purposely made the breasts asymmetrical without getting my consent for the is because she thought I was getting radiation. I'm not, radiation was not recommended, so now a revision has to be done. She then canceled my follow up appts and ghosted after she sent an email saying she was proud of her work...after telling me I might lose a breast. So a couple days after surgery, I had no surgeon and a breast that could necrose. She didn't close the incision fully so it is scared down in the open position. The scars go from one armpit to another. I have little sensation anymore. It's not pretty, I try not to look at my chest. I had more complications and the ER wouldn't see me because I had no surgeon to follow up with surgical interventions. No doctor will follow you once your surgeon abandons care after complications. She was not ethical, professional, or safe. There are great surgeons that do amazing work out there. Please know the gravity of your surgeon choice and choose wisely!
