Epic! No, seriously Epic...... Is the only way to describe my ENTIRE experience with Dr. Ghersi and PSI staff.
My first visit was January, 2016, (consultation) in which I was seeking a major scar revision, additional liposuction and new implants. Before I knew about Dr. Ghersi, I had my surgery with a "Bravo" Miami surgeon, big mistake. having to revise was scary. Arriving to PSI, I was so nervous and not wanting to see another 'Pretentious" Doctor and staff.... When walking in the door, I meet Gianelli, who was so nice and warm. Very unusual not to be in a snotty uptight Plastic's doctors office being judged, I felt like family immediately. I was then escorted to Dr. Ghersi' who greated me with a big smile. We went over a few issues I had in detail and then I was escorted to an exam room where I met his nurses, Gabriella and Natasha, who, when I asked what they thought of what I wanted, was so kind and honest that I didn't feel awkward or embarrassed standing naked in front of them with what I felt was a very fat belly, bulging scar and two very large breasts towering over my belly.. Dr.Ghersi came in and sat with me before examining me talking about what I liked and did't like about my body (this was a first for me, as I had interview 5 other surgeons, and the one I went with for my first surgery didn't ask) Dr. Ghersi wanted to make sure that HE was on MY page. I was honest with him about who I went with and how terribly unhappy I was. Dr. Ghersi even went as far as to tell the first surgeon I went with was a good one. That too is unheard of, one surgeon complementing another... While in the examining room, in which he took all the time in the world (so it seemed) to answer every question I had. He measured the areas of concerns (he's a perfectionist which you want in a surgeon working on your body) and went over in detail what to expect, not his nurses, medical assistants or office manager went over what he was going to do to me, he did! I was so impressed not only by his bedside manner but his medical back round and being a non pretentious Plastic Surgeon. I then met with his surgical coordinator, Mille, Who, I spent most of an hour with talking about personal things and we laughed, hugged and I left making a new friend. No one rushes you ever! I scheduled my surgery for May, 2016. Between the first time meeting Dr. Ghersi and having the surgery, I went to meet with him a few more times and more questions would arise and I wanted to make 100% sure we were on the same page and that I had realistic expectations. The staff didn't give me a hard time fitting me in to re-exam me.. like I said, warm and kind. Fast forward to the much awaited day (so sorry I didn't do my homework before and had met him first) I meet yet again another "Dream Team" My nurse Jessica was so very warm and kind, she took care of me before and after, making me feel as though I was her only concern, as did everyone else in this office! My Anesthesiologist, Cathy was a rock star, she took the time to get to know me, my medical history. Cathy said, "I will take great care of you" she hugged me and off to sleep I want. I remember when I was getting on the OR table the scrub nurses, Brici and Paulina were saying hello and we were joking about leaving the hospital gown on while laying on the table to go to sleep, I said "why not just take this off now, as I know you're gonna take it off me in 3 seconds when I'm knocked out" we all laughed. Just before the surgery, Millie, Gianelli, Gabriella and Natasha has popped in to say Hi and tell me how sexy I'm going to look... I'm telling you, these are the best woman to be around. My surgery went well, my recovery was NOTHING like before. Dr. Ghersi did a scar revision, liposuction on my tummy, sides and back. He replaced (my only 6 months out boobs) with new ones, as I wanted originally. The best thing about post-op are the Aesthetician appointments with Clara, She made sure my swelling was going down, breaking up the hard tissue with massages and always a big hug after each session, not very comfortable in the beginning but so worth it for your speedy recovery. Most offices do not offer such treatments, but PSI does it all. I'm still doing these wonderful massages and treatments 2 months post op. You know, This was and is a major decision I made for myself after turning 50. I look so sexy and curvy. Dr. Ghersi exceeded my exceptions and I would do it all over again. Please don't retire Dr. Ghersi as I will be needing a face and neck lift sometime in the next 7-10 years. P.S. Dr. Ghersi does my botox and fillers.. Again, you want a perfectionist working on your face an body..
