Dana Coberly, MD

I was diagnosed in January with moderately invasive breast cancer. When you’re diagnosed with cancer it seems that it’s followed by whirlwind of doctors appointments and a battery of tests. When I went for my initial consultation with Dr. Coberly her empathy and positivity immediately put me at ease. I had a bilateral mastectomy and subsequent reconstruction in March. From the initial consultation, through two surgeries and weekly office visits I’ve never been disappointed. The office is run with smooth efficiency. Appointments are on time, I never had to wait, but I’ve never felt rushed. Bella was amazing. Very knowledgeable and professional but also easy to talk to. I appreciated her help more than she’ll ever know. I’ve now had my last reconstruction surgery and while still early, I’m very pleased with the results. Dr. Coberly was able to give me back the projection and size that I had asked for with minimal discomfort.???? She is a very skillful surgeon and I would recommend this practice without reservation!??

Very happy with how great my scars look after using the Embrace Therapy. I was hesitate at first, but after seeing before and after pictures.... I was sold. I highly recommend anyone who is concerned with the appearance of their scars.

Dr Coberly did an amazing job with my case. I got a breast augmentation done and while I am still in the healing phase and have settling to go, I absolutely love them! I was extremely nervous about surgery and Dr Coberly answered all of my questions, multiple times, at different appointments without hesitation or annoyance at having to repeat herself. Dr Coberly and her staff (Jlee and Abigail especially - you girls rock!) went out of their way to help me in every way possible including scheduling with the surgery center when there was a slight hiccup. Even the surgery center that the Doctor uses had an amazing staff! When it comes time to revisit another breast augmentation there's no doubt I'll do it again with Dr Coberly!

I have had a few treatments with Dr, Coberly but my recent Fat Injections into my face was the most exciting, from the staff throughout the process, and particularly Dr. Coberly's hands on attention and pride she takes in her work. Fantastic result!

Dr Coberly was an angel that provided me with a complete breast reconstruction re-do. I had received a very disfigured and painful breast reconstruction by another Doctor in the area due to breast cancer, the Doctor moved away and never complete my reconstruction. Dr Coberly corrected and completed the procedure and I am nothing but ecstatic with her bedside manors and her artistry.

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Coberly 2 years ago. She is always professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and direct. She will give you her honest opinion and you know exactly what to expect after surgery. I had no pain, no surprises, and no noticeable scarring. The entire procedure was easy & I have fantastic, natural looking results. I love how clothes fit me now and I am very thankful to have found Dr. Coberly as my surgeon. I often recomended her to friends or people I meet when they are looking for a surgeon.

After a family history and years of biopsies, tumor removals and scares put my life into the hands of Dr. Hechtman and plastic surgeon, Dr Dana Coberly. Could not have asked or found a better team of physicians. I feel as if the nightmares are over and Dr. Co rely has restored self confidence I had lost years ago

So today I am 7 days post op and I have to say that it is truly getting better every single day. I have three amazing babies. They are 5, 3, and 1. I breastfed all three and they basically drank all my boobs! I gained 55 lbs, 50lbs, and 23lbs respectivally during my pregnancies. I lost the weight in between each of them. Since after my first pregnancy, I knew I wanted a TT and BA. After my second pregnancy, I developed a hernia which only worsen after the third. I went to three different consultations and then decided to go with Dr. Coberly. She is a wonderful PS and I felt so at ease with her! So experience: so far the recovery has been better than I imagined in my head (isn't it always that way?!? It's amazing how powerful your mind can be). First night was rough as can be expected and I basically slept sitting up because there was no way that I would be laying down. My husband rented a medical lift recliner which made the second night much much much easier. I would most definitely recommend doing this. The beds in my house are on the second floor and honestly even 7 days post op, I have yet to climb the stairs. Just don't feel comfortable. (I might be really conservative on this but why take the chance of prolonging my recovery!) one of the worst things is having to cough. That happened to me about day 3 post op and it was horrible! Doing breathing exercises did help me but wish I would have known sooner that this was necessary to help prevent the need to cough.Some things that I could not live without: medical lift recliner (Tampa area I rented it at A-Health Aid), walker, heating pad for my lower back, wedges that I found on amazon which I will gladly provide the link below, shower chair (which gives me an option to change locations throughout the day and for actual showers), Tylenol,and cough suppressants.I purchased three InteVision wedges.I am definitely looking forward to getting better daily! I miss my babies and miss my daily life. How quickly did you guys feels you could go back to driving?Please feel free to ask me anything at all!! I am more than willing to share my thoughts and experience. I know reading and asking questions here helped me so so much! I am so incredibly grateful for this community. Updated on 25 Aug 2014: So on Friday they removed one drain which was a huge help! So today hopefully they will be removed #2! That is going to be such a huge relief. This weekend actually went up the stairs for the first time since the surgery and it was wonderful. It's amazing the small victories that help the spirit! Will keep you posted. Appointment is at 2:15 today. Fingers crossed!! Updated on 26 Aug 2014: Last drain was removed yesterday and today I felt so much better! It's wonderful how the body works. Spent the day making some bracelet for my babies. They came home last night. Missed them so much but it was much needed to have them our of the house to be able to concentrate on healing. Praying tomorrow will be feeling a little bit better than today! Post a pic that I took today :) Updated on 17 Sep 2014: Feeling good and just counting the days pass by! Updated on 22 Sep 2014: Thought I would share a pic! Feeling much better and looking for to making more progress :) can't wait to get back to the gym. Not going to lie.....been dying to go back but haven't felt physically ready. Maybe this week! Fingers crossed! Happy healing ladies! Updated on 22 Sep 2014:

I had multiple areas treated with GentleLase. In my case, it was not done by a tech, but actually done by the Plastic Surgeon. I had FAR better results than most report. Mi initial treatment was about four years ago. I have had two touch-ups since then and am thrilled with everthing.

By the age of 45, I had gone thru breast cancer twice. The first being at the age of 32 in which I had a lumpectomy and radiation. I finished radiation 3 days prior to my wedding with 180 people. I had my wonderful daughter at 38 and at the age of 44 I was diagnosed with breast cancer again. This was self diagnosis. Pay attention to your body. The cancer was behind my nipple. I got a double mastectomy and chemo. I went thru several reconstructions due to the symmetry and a ruptured implant. The last reconstruction was a replacement of implant and fat injections to fill in any "gaps". Dr. Coberly did an amazing job. Prior to the last reconstruction, I did make the decision to get pretty tattoos over my breast scars so when I look at myself in the mirror, I do not see scars but I see the beauty of the flowers and butterflies.
