33, African American, mastectomy direct to implant - please go to Dr. Rafizadeh!

I am eternally grateful to have been under Dr. Rafidazeh’s care through my Single Stage Mastectomy - Direct to Implant Reconstruction surgery. He is truly a kind and compassionate provider. After initially consulting with other surgeons, I researched and discovered the direct-to-implant surgery approach in which the cancerous breast is removed and reconstructed with an implant during the same surgery. I found Dr. Rafizadeh online and learned that he is a pioneering surgeon behind this specific surgery. He was also highly recommended by the Surgical Oncologist who did my Mastectomy (Dr. William Diehl). If you need a Mastectomy and want a new breast, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend having a Single Stage Mastectomy - Direct to Implant Reconstruction done by Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh and Surgical Oncologist Dr. William Diehl. (He and Dr. Diehl have worked together for years and are both such kind and thorough doctors). I relocated from Nashville to Jersey to be under their care and it is now two months after from my Mastectomy and I have zero pain, no lymphedema, no rehab needed, and a gorgeous breast that I feel great about. It was HUGE to be able to go through this process without losing touch with my femininity. Cancer had already spread to my nipple, so I was not able to do a nipple-sparing Mastectomy as I had hoped. Dr. Rafizadeh will construct a nipple mound and nipple in my second surgery. Dr. Rafidazeh is a true artist (literally. He paints too), and I appreciate how attentive he meticulously he approached my breast reconstruction. I highly recommend him and will never go to a different surgeon. His office staff is equally as kind and compassionate and that went a LONG way during my Cancer journey. (33 y.o. African American young woman)
