Get Your Surgery Done Here. You Won't Regret It!

Wow. Where to begin. Dr. Pinell was the last of 4 doctors I consulted with when I was looking for where to do my breast reduction. And immediately there was a clear difference. The other surgeons either talked about money first or pinched me very hard during my consult. Dr. Pinell was the most respectful and kind. She sat with me and listened which was incredibly important. I didn’t have the words or terminology but she still regarded me as a human being with expertise on my own experiences with my breasts. She asked thoughtful questions and got to know me; she explained what they survey would look like and what she was recommending. By the time I walked out of the office I knew I was done searching for a doctor. In my following appointments she kept up with my life changes and took all my questions. The staff were incredibly helpful, explaining my financial options and providing clarity on what the center offered. I dealt with only women the entire time which was also a plus. The day of the surgery was incredibly smooth and her office called or emailed in the following days. I did have some nerve pain and within minutes of emailing her, she had sent my prescription to the pharmacy. (She always responds to emails so quickly). I was reduced from a triple D to about a C/D cup and its amazing. I continue to enjoy the results today. I did not lose any sense of feeling in my nipples and she was able to do the surgery without the dreaded anchor incision. A year later it is the best money I have ever spent and I no longer have back pain or dread going on long runs because of the ensuing pain. I have had no weird healing issues or weird infections. She is incredibly talented and you see that in the way she examines you and explains the procedure. I have recommended her to family and friends considering breast reductions and should I ever need to go under the knife again- even if I no longer live in DC- I would fly back to see her. Everyone in this office from the front desk to the medical assistants to the OR team to the doctors are incredibly friendly. The doctors I saw before her always appeared in a rush or provided scripted answers to my questions. At DaVinci you will feel like you’re their only patient even though they get so many patients and answer the same questions over and over again. For Black women or other women of color, I am Black and was initially told by friends to find a Black surgeon who understands “our skin”. I fully assure you that Dr. Pinell understands. She’s had a range of patients including Black patients and has had successful procedures with them. She treats everyone with respect and dignity and carries herself in the same manner. I am very happy to be a part of this family and you will too!
