In the midst of my distress, Dr. Pacella reassured me. He told me everything looked exactly as it should, and his confidence and calm demeanor gave me hope. I trusted him completely. Before meeting Dr. Pacella,...

I highly recommend Dr. Manish Champaneria as not only a gifted surgeon but a valuable and important member of my breast cancer team at Scripps. Dr. Champaneria was referred to me by an excellent surgeon, and although I did not know him, I am extremely happy that I was lucky enough to get the “Champ” for my reconstruction. From the very first appointment after I was told I needed a mas...
15 months ago, at the age of 41, I never thought I’d be visiting a plastic surgeon to discuss breast reconstruction after a bilateral mastectomy for a sudden and unexpected breast cancer diagnosis. But here I am. And I cannot imagine a single step I’ve taken in this process without the care and support I received from Dr Gupta and his team at Verve. They have treated me like a friend from my ...

Love my experience with Dr. Soltero and his staff. I had surgery with him before and I trust him unconditionally... he doesn't hesitate to tell you what he thinks is better for you even if you don't like to hear it. He makes sure you make an informed decision. Now I lived outside the USA but I have travelled to San Diego to have my surgery done by him. Dr. Soltero was very happy and genuinely...
I had a facelift with eyes and laser done by Dr. Laverson about five months ago. I could not be happier with the results! I was scared to have a facelift because I did not want to to have the "done" look. I am so happy I chose Dr. Laverson, he asked me to bring a photo of me in my younger years, and he truly restored me to a younger version of myself. I was a little intimated with some of...

Once I was diagnosed with breast cancer I knew I was going to have reconstruction surgery and I knew Dr Krant was my man! He had just brought on Dr Apostolides and as a team, they guided me through the darkest days of my life with "spectacular" results. After the pathology report came back from the lumpectomy, Dr Krant highly recommended a mastectomy and then I asked him about...
