A friend had recommended Dr. Greenwald after her breast reduction experience. She said a few things that made me put him at the top of my list of potential surgeons: the number of times he had performed the surgery, his compassion, the ease of the operation and post-op follow ups, and his excellent staff.
I interviewed 3 surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. G. He was respectful, understanding of pain large breasts had caused me for 30+ years, and realistic about what outcomes I could expect. The day of the surgery we got bumped up in priority, and although I was nervous, everyone was supportive. I will not say post-op recovery was easy, it was far from it. Ice packs, comfortable bedding, and my caring husband made a huge difference. Dr. G. called to check on me, and at the first follow-up appointment, he calmed my surprise at the amount of swelling and bruising. I am now 2 months out from surgery, and I could not be happier with my new size and shape of breasts. My scars are diminishing daily, and my clothes fit so much better - something I didn't expect to have a strong reaction to, but psychologically, it has made a difference in my self-esteem.
I truly appreciate the kind and honest attitude of the entire office staff. They exude caring and take time to answer questions by phone, email, or in person. Dr. G. is exemplary, and I am thankful he is the surgeon I chose.
