Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Revision Update
As with many reconstructed breasts where some or all of the skin used, I needed a little touch up here and there after some months of healing.
Dr. Kalus addressed small areas of dimpling with fat grafting and (so far…it’s only been a few days) everything looks wonderful. I’d also requested some augmentation on my right breast and that looks outstanding as well.
What initially impressed me about Dr. Kalus and his staff remains and has only been reinforced in my dealings with them. Every staff member in this practice, even in moments when they are intensely busy, treats you as if you are the only patient they have! They are warm, friendly, and caring, as is Dr. Kalus. This goes a VERY long way and is just as important as the perfectionism and professionalism of Dr. Kalus.
Even elective surgery can be a little scary, but surgery that is necessary as a result of an illness such as cancer, can cause a great amount of fear and anxiety. Dr. Kalus and the entire staff do an excellent job of making you feel safe and cared for.
If I ever decide that I want any type of plastic surgery once I’m done with all this cancer business, THIS is the doctor upon whom I will call.

I don’t know where to begin to describe my absolute joy in my dealings with Dr. Kalus. I am “Goldilocks” when it comes to physicians - they have to be “just right.”
While it is clear that Dr. Kalus is a professional who takes his job VERY seriously, he also exudes a warmth, kindness and compassion that one doesn’t often find these days. You can tell that he really does take joy in his work.
His initial consult with me (after I’d consulted with others) was as if he had all the time in the world to see me. We went over options I’d been given (one too risky, another too long and arduous over a course of surgeries) and much to my surprise, he came up with a third option that, as Goldilocks would say “was juuuust right!”
Being a recovering cancer patient who’d already had a mastectomy, chemo AND radiation, the skin we had to work with was going to be a little unforgiving, so just shoving an implant in there wasn’t going to work. DIEP flap was another option that had been offered to me elsewhere, but I oscillated on pulling the trigger. Just as I was about to go for the DIEP flap, I was referred to Dr. Kalus for yet another consult in which he came up with a plant to sort of combing a lat flap with an implant.
One surgery.
Quick recovery time.
He promised me that his goal is perfection, but we both knew going in, working with radiated skin, that it was possible that things would be slightly less than perfect.
I’m not even entirely healed and I’m already ecstatic about the condition of both my “new” breast and the lift he performed on the right breast (so that they both be perky rather than one up and one not quite so up).
I will update this review as I heal, but I doubt it will change much unless we are able to ADD stars. I am so pleased with his treatment of me - both as a patient and as a human being. He and his staff have my gratitude until the end of time!
