- 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.

Five Stars, Zero Hesitation
I knew I would be facing a mastectomy and breast reconstruction for a while (gene mutation puts me at extremely high risk of breast cancer). I interviewed a few surgeons in my previous medical group, and they all were kind and professional but I never felt 100% confident in their approach for my individual case. A trusted family friend who is in the local medical community highly recommended I seek out Dr. Apostolides if at all possible. This meant a lot to me because this family friend sees procedures from the operating room perspective working with tons of local surgeons.When I had my consult with Dr. Apostolides office I wasn't sure if I would be able to change my medical insurance group to have hime be in-network, but I was so sure after my consultation that frankly I would have taken out a loan if I had to to make it work.
From the aesthetic perspective- Dr. Apostolides' work was (by far) above any other portfolio I looked at. I thought at first some of the photos he showed me were elective augmentations because they were so good, but I asked him- each one was reconstructive after mastectomy. His view that just because one has to go through the shock of a mastectomy that we should still love our result at the end was a fresh and welcomed take on this. I won't disparage other doctors but let's just say I saw others who were basically telling me to prepare not to have results I was happy with. I was so relieved to have someone assure me and show me that I could actually be happy with my final results.
From a technical perspective, though I am not a physician myself, the choices he makes in approach to the procedure made a ton of sense to me. I could tell he thinks about not only aesthetic results but best practices for healing, post op scheduling that makes sense, etc. No other surgeon I met with was approaching this procedure in the more cutting-edge way Dr. A proposed.
From a human perspective, Dr. A is friendly, approachable, kind and confident. I felt I could ask questions both at consult and afterwards without reservation. His office staff is also wonderful, truly. Ashley and Vanessa calmed my nerves and answered all of my questions, and my post-op nurse has been wonderful too!
I am two weeks post op from a bilateral mastectomy and initial phase of reconstruction (expanders). I have been well supported and cared for by Dr. A and his office staff every step of the way, including questions I have that seem like they may be silly, I have been reassured and taken care of so kindly! I will update afterwards but this first phase went very well and I can't express enough how grateful I feel to be a patient here.
