Dr. Mlakar is Wonderful!

WORTH IT
At age 59 I was ready to have breast reduction surgery. People assume large breasts equate back pain. Not so in my case. Having Fibromyalgia for 30 years meant very sensitive shoulders for bra straps to lie on 8 to 12 hours a day. Also, the best, supportive bras were costing over one hundred dollars just to " let me down " a few weeks later.
I turned to the internet to find a top-rated surgeon in the Fort Wayne area, and the internet did not disappoint! Plastic Surgery Innovation caught my eye. I studied about Dr. Joe Mlakar, his practicing history and accomplishments. It was the patients' testimonies that spoke volumes to me. They were so positive and happy with their changes. I booked an appointment for a consultation.
From the moment I entered Dr. Mlakars' office I felt at home. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The nurses were very personable and knowledgeable. My husband and I loved the fact that " Nurse Lori " was Dr. Mlakars' wife. After all, we felt we were meeting family for the first time.
The consultation provided answered all our questions. Lori showed us a video of the procedure I was interested in, Mastopexy with decrease in size. We met Dr. Mlakar and he was incredible kind. There were no pushy sales speeches or a rush to schedule the procedure.
A date in April was selected for my surgery, but I needed another visit to Dr. Mlakars' office to learn how to prepare for surgery. Nurse Lori was terrific in explaining what test needed completed and she presented us a folder of information of presurgical do's and don'ts.
My surgery date came, but I had no fear. I was so well prepared by Dr. Mlakar and his staff. My surgery was very successful and I love the results. I also have a little more confidence in myself.
I would give Dr. Mlakar a rating of 10 out of 10 for his skill, his bedside manner, his professionalism, and having a competent staff. When people see me, they say, " Something is different about you!" That makes me smile and I tell them, " Let me tell you about a great plastic surgeon in Fort Wayne!"
Thank you, Dr. Mlakar!
