It’s been 12 days since the 2nd, of my 2 part LAP FLAP surgery with Dr Jaime Zampell. Since my first diagnosis in 2009 I’ve had 19 surgeries, chemotherapy twice, and radiation that followed. Part of my personal cancer journey has been to shed light on my milestones and this surgery was most definately one of them. I am profoundly grateful that I found Dr Zampell. I was hopeless and she gave me hope again. I had lost all confidence and she gave it back to me. She’s compassionate and light hearted and funny. She leads you through the process of the 2 surgeries with confidence and a God given surgical skill like I’ve never experienced before. She was available 24/7 by phone or text. She’s a sculptor, an artist and she’s brilliant. She’s changed my life. I’ve had many plastic surgeons along the way but none compared to Dr Zampell. She’s in a league all her own and this is why I’m writing this. More women needing reconstructive surgeries should know about her and her gift. To Dr Zampell and all her staff I thank you from the bottom of my heart!! ????

Amazing! Dr. Zampell is a miracle worker that gave me back my sense of self in a body that feels like mine. After I experienced disappointing outcomes with other surgeons during my breast reconstruction journey, my luck turned around when I met Dr. Z. Her dedication, impeccable skills and expertise, high-standards, as well as her unwavering commitment to helping women with breast cancer, carried me through this very difficult process. Dr. Zampell resolved an issue that others I spoke to said they could not. For context, I had a previous PAP flap procedure that did not achieve the outcomes promised with another surgeon. Because I am on the thinner side, my donor sites and vessels did not have a typical amount of yield. Dr. Zampell chose to perform a delay procedure prior to my DIEP that was like an insurance policy so that my vessels and donor tissues were viable and robust. This made my DIEP surgery so much easier to get through. A few months later and I had my final revision with her (fat grafting and scar revision) and I’m so thrilled with the outcome. I also have to compliment her staff. Dana, Cherelle and Steph are all so helpful and dealt with my numerous questions, phone calls and texts with professionalism and care. There is no one else I trust more than Dr. Zampell. She listens, deeply cares, and is painstakingly dedicated to achieving the best result unique to each patient. And I really like her as a human.
