I am a 62 years old male, who was born in the...

I am a 62 years old male, who was born in the wrong body, and after making a happy family over 45 years, with an amazing wife and three successful kids, decided one time to think about him, and show the world the realself he dreamed since he was 15 years old, and now he decided to have a very modest breast augmentation.
With today’s technology, the internet can show the world in a very different way than my teenager’s time… So, I did my homework, I did my own educated research about hospitals, doctors, cost, and resources about my MTF Breast augmentation, and I found Doctor Urmen Desai practice in Beverly Hills, and I did read so many five-star reviews about him, and I said This is it!!!
I called for an appointment, and at the other side of the line, the most amazing person answered most of my initial questions, and open the door for me to see Dr. Desai. Her name is Sara, and today I can give her a top five-star, because without her my breast augmentation will be in my dream six-sided box. She helped me in so many ways… She found a hotel for me to stay after the surgery, She found a nurse to take care of me after the surgery, She found a doctor to do my pre-op labs and tests, She schedule my appointments in a very organized way, She called me to follow up my procedure, and I listened very careful her recommendations about before and after surgery care. In other word, more than being just professional, I value the fact that Dr. Desai staff’s caring attitude was exceptional.
Well, I said… the time is up and I was about to decide for my Breast augmentation… It was one of the toughest times in my life… I decided to go to see Dr. Desai.
I always thought that surgeons were haughty, arrogant and self-obsessed, but I was wrong… The appointment with Dr. Desai was very special. He explains to me the procedures, the do’s and do nots, He used the top of the line technology to show me the preliminary results, He showed me alternatives products, He explain to me the differences between Silicone and Saline implants, He listened my concerns regarding my work and my family, and together we decided to go with Silicone 200 cc… Later I change my mind to go for a Natrille 410 with MF165 cc.
Now is the time… November 15, 2017… Wednesday and it is 7 am… I still remember the day I was admitted to your hospital for a surgery… The personal attention and the kindness shown by Dr. Desai and his staff helped me overcome my fears about the surgery… I have never felt as comfortable going to a hospital in my life before…
I met Barbara for initial paper work and procedures… I met Dr. Sarah Yovino who later magically put me to sleep in a blink of an eye… I met Dr. Desai who was armed with a purple sharpie and draw lines and circles on my chest… I met Sara who gave me the high-five and wish me luck…
2 hours later I was up and running my life again… and I spent the day in a hotel near by… I start taking the antibiotics, and I had in my back-pocket pain killers, pills for muscles spams, and pills for nauseas…
I did watch so many YouTube videos regarding what happened after BA surgery, and I was very scared about it, but let me tell you… Dr. Desai did an extraordinary work… After surgery, I did not feel any pain, other than of course some discomfort with the new breast, of course discomfort sleeping with my face up… I did not have any muscle spasms, or nauseas… and next day I decided to take a shower… I noted my chest very clean… no bruises, no marks other than the little incisions under the breast, and I said OMG what a great doctor… Now the sad part is that I must toss the pain killers, the pills for muscles spams, and pills for nauseas… what a waste!!!
All I can say about Dr. Desai will not cover the real person who really is… but before saying that you are an extraordinary doctor, I want to tell you that you are an extraordinary human being… It is not just the treatment, but the care and empathy shown by doctors like you which makes the world a better place to live in… Other doctors simply treat their patients with medicines but forget to do the most important thing which you do… help them to move on with their lives with motivating words and inspirational thoughts… Thank you for showing me so much care and concern.
This is my certificate which is much more valuable that any degree a Doctor can frame and show off, and my highest recommendation for all of us looking for a breast augmentation.
Dr. Desai, thank you again and again, and let’s Cheer very high for the extraordinary surgery you did for me.
