Amazing Woman & Amazing Surgeon!

When I met Doctor Rockwell I was coming to her after I had a major complication with the initial double mastectomy that I had done in Montreal. I had attempted to do a one step surgery that rendered me having to start again from absolutely nothing. Since my surgery was just preventative (my family has a very aggressive history with the BRCA2 gene) I was very demoralized that I was now left with no breast on my left side and I had not too many answers and also was feeling uneasy with the whole process. Dr. Rockwell had come highly recommended so my family Doctor sent over a referral. Once I had my consultation, I was shocked to hear that this would take me on another two year journey of many small procedures leading to an expander and then to the final implant. Dr. Rockwell could see my shock and reassured me to be patient and to trust her. Well I certainly did and I can proudly say I would trust her with my life or any of my loved ones. She treated me with the patience, empathy and care that any woman going through this at any stage would require. She was beyond competent in her craft, patient, honest and forthcoming. She was so meticulous especially with revolutionary fat grafting that my results were very pleasing. There was never any doubt, mystery or confusion. Even during the pandemic, she and her amazing assistant Sarah were so diligent in booking me in for expansions, getting my paperwork done and getting me booked in for surgery. Every surgery I had went better than I would have hoped (I was very resistant and negative in the beginning but she kept proving me wrong) and the results were better than I ever expected. After my last surgery - the replacement of the expander to the final implant, she wrote me personal care instructions and sent me home with a personalized note that made me feel like we were on this journey together - which we were and I could not have picked a better surgeon to be on this journey with me. All in all I would give Dr. Rockwell 100 stars if I could because she was amazing, positive, skilled and knowledgeable every step of the way and if I had to do it all again I would choose her every time! Amazing woman and amazing surgeon!
