WORTH IT
I had a breast lift with implants done by Dr. Caridi 2 weeks ago. Word on the street was that he was ‘The Best’ and I’m here to tell you that he actually is THE BEST!!
Online Consultation: I’m not going to lie, I really didn’t want to do the online consultation. My mom drilled into my head never to put nude pictures of yourself on the internet.. and here I was, sending topless photos of myself to a complete stranger. But a couple of hours later Dr. Caridi e-mailed me back his professional opinion AND his price. I quickly realized this process is brilliant. I would rather find out if a doctor is out of my price range this way instead of wasting half of my day going to meet with somebody to find out prices. He was very reasonably priced and I scheduled an in person consultation right away.
Consultation: Most of my consultation was done with his nurse, Lacy. Dr. Caridi struck gold with Lacy. Every doctor needs a nurse like her. I have a lot of anxiety and was so nervous going in to this and Lacy had a way of instantly calming my nerves. She explained the whole process to me and answered all of my questions. She took her time and listened to all of my concerns and I never felt rushed. Then Dr. Caridi came in to examine me. He came through that door with so much energy and personality! But more importantly, confidence. This was not my first consultation. I know that the lift and implant combination is not an easy surgery to perform and the other doctors were sure to let me know that my lift would not be easy. Dr. Caridi examined me and made me feel like my procedure would be a piece of cake. He has a lot of experience and knew he could give me great results. His confidence gave me confidence! He was without a doubt the surgeon for me.
Pre-op: My pre-op appointment verified for me that I made the BEST choice with Dr. Caridi. Dr. Caridi and Lacy went over everything again with me and they both remembered all my questions, concerns, conversation and the littlest details from my consultation. Y’all, that is big. That right there showed me that they listened and truly cared about me. I was not just a number. They really love what they do and care about the people! I was having a really hard time choosing the final size of implants. I had so many pros and cons for the two different sizes I was trying to decide between. I decided to trust and go with their opinion on size.
Surgery day!! The morning of my surgery is a bit blurry to be honest. But I do remember everyone being so upbeat and helpful and wonderful and I remember thinking that these people really do love what they do to be so... happy! .. at the butt crack of dawn! My surgery went great! Dr. Caridi ended up doing a lollipop lift on one breast and a full anchor lift on the other. My husband works in the medical field and there are not many surgery centers that he trusts. He inspected and watched everyone here like a hawk. He was BLOWN AWAY by the cleanliness and patient care here.
Recovery and post op: first off let me say- MY BOOBS LOOK AMAZING. I’ve looked at thousands of before and after pictures and stories of recovery and had some idea of my expectations. The boobs Dr. Caridi gave me far exceeded my expectations. He is a true artist. I was pretty nervous about recovery. I’ve read/heard some horror stories and knew this would not be an easy surgery to recover from. It really wasn’t that bad at all!! Lacy called the night of my surgery to check on me and was available if We had any questions throughout recovery. I emailed with questions and she responded very quickly. I had my 2 week post op appointment yesterday and everything is healing well and looking very good! I really could not be happier with my results and this entire experience.

if you don't mind me asking, is this review real or did caridi write it for you? i had my op 8 months ago with a appalling result which caridi/lacey then tried to cover up by describing the outcome as "incredible". i had to get a second opinion to confirm a bunch of complications - asymmetry, burns, dense scar, muscle damage, divots and neuropathic pain. he then stopped responding to my requests for an honest explanation and an ongoing treatment plan. esssentially, he has operated, created a mess , and then subsequently abandoned follow up. my experience is totally different from what you have described. it is so bad that i have submitted a formal complaint to the medical boaard about him and lacey.

Oh my goodness this review is 100% me! They were not even aware that I was going to write a review/ have written a review. I am flattered that you think the could have written it though.. my husband tells me I write like a child lol. I am sorry you had a bad experience. I’ve seen reviews like yours and it I have a super hard time believing them after my experiences there!
