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.

Dr. Pratt's work is a game-changing improvement to my life. The end results are far better than I ever thought possible.
I did the research beforehand. I chose to see this particular doctor as the result of what I found, and I am beyond happy that I did. His reviews are solid. Before/after surgery pictures are impressive. After meeting with him and following through with the procedure, I can tell you that the guy is for real. He is highly focused on results. I was scared - there are many pictures on the internet where some surgeon removed too much tissue, and the results show large inward indentations into the nipple and surrounding area. He put me at ease. Like a human x-ray machine, you can tell this guy 'can see' through to the underlying tissue problems hidden behind the skin (okay, x-ray machines don't show that, but you get what I'm saying). He is an artist. He takes out enough tissue (a lot in my case), and he knows when to stop.
I'm 40 and married. We have a big family and good life. So why do this, and why do it now?
While surgical procedures have improved for removing male breast problems (gynecomastia) over the years, my biggest regret is not going through with it as a much younger person. This is a game-changer for those of us who suffer from the problem. I think of it as 'male breast introduction' since I essentially had female boobs for so long. I can't stop looking in the mirror at something that looks nothing like that which once brought me daily shame. I don't think being a shirtless male model is in the cards for me in this lifetime, but I can tell you this - I can wear a t-shirt to any place now, and I do so regularly. I can go swimming now, and I do.
My habits and psychology related to the problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent my life since puberty trying to hide this embarrassing condition. It got even worse as I became older and packed on some lbs. I tried to hide things with over-sized shirts that were usually dark in color. I always wore a t-shirt (sometimes 2) like a bra under button-up shirts. Worse, I obsessively rubbed my nipples to try to keep them stimulated, even when I was all alone (things looked a bit better when they were 'hard'). I tried exercising and dropping down a lot of weight. It only helped a bit. This was a psychological nightmare for me. I lacked much confidence when it came to people, both professionally and in my personal life. While I have this great little wife who accepts everything about me, I never spoke to her nor anyone else in my life about the problem. People knew about the issue - make no mistake about that - but I shut them down at any hint of a conversation or small joke about it in my presence. It was as if it was okay for me to know about the problem, but I had to bury my head in the sand when it came to admitting that others knew. If they knew, then it was somehow 'more real'.
The Friday before the surgery was the first time I ever opened up to anyone other than Dr. Pratt about the problem. I asked my wife to take pictures and told her what I was planning to do. She shook her head in quiet understanding. I was deeply ashamed, but I was determined to believe that things could get better. I couldn't look at the photos until after the surgery. And guess what? - things before surgery were even worse than I let myself see when I looked into mirrors. Of course I knew it was bad, but I guess I learned subconsciously how to turn at the best angle and stimulate the nipples before looking. I fooled even myself a bit about the severity of the problem.
I don't know if other guys with this problem have similar psychological baggage related to it. It must carry some or you wouldn't be reading this. It clearly is an optional surgery, and the money could be spent elsewhere certainly. For me, it was among the best investments that I've ever made. I may be 40, but there is much life left to live even more happily.
