Where do I start, I was actually tried twice to...

Where do I start, I was actually tried twice to have this surgery in Seattle. Had some things go wrong under anesthesia. Gave up trying for a year. My weight was up and I felt sluggish....I wanted a change so I heard about Dr. Novia. I made an appointment and when I met him, he said he could do it, but he didn't think I would be happy and neither would he. He felt that I had something else that needed to be addressed before he would do the surgery. He sent me across the hall for a checkup with Dr. Adolph's. I found out that I had type 2 diabetes. Dr. Novia is my savior, he totally changed my life. He is more than a Surgeon. Dr. Novia cares about people, and their health, not about making money doing surgeries. With Diet, and exercise, I lost a lot of weight very quickly. I continued to visit Dr. Novia to talk about a possible reduction surgery. He was so supportive and told me it would be entirely up to me as to when and if I wanted it. Well, I decided to have it, and wanted to schedule a certain date so I wouldn't miss work. When the date I wanted was not available, I became a little emotional. The next day his office called and said they were able to schedule me for my desired date. When I had my pre-op appointment, every last detail was covered, every question answered. I was given my paperwork which to my amazement, it included Dr. Novias Cell number. I was told, that I was free to call it at anytime, even if I just felt nervous or anxious about the surgery. This office and staff are top notch. The surgery was a huge success, and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Novia called to check on me that evening. The next morning he removed my bandages. He is truly an amazing human being. ( When the nurses prepped me, they said " he is the best". They weren't kidding.) I will forever be grateful to Dr. Novia, my life has totally changed, due to his knowledge to notice I had more going on than just large breasts. I respect and adore this man, this Doctor, this caring human being. He is amazing and his work is phenomenal. I feel and look amazing, and I had referred family and friends to him. I will continue referrals on a daily basis.
THANK YOU DR. NOVIA , FOR CHANGING MY LIFE!

Dr. Novia Changed my life. He knew there was more going on with me than Large breasts. He referred me to another physician and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Through exercise and diet, I got healthy and lost weight. Dr. Novia was very supportive through the entire process and I was able to have breast reduction surgery. Dr. Novia cares about you as a human being, not about making money doing surgeries. His work is phenomenal, I am healthy and I feel and look great. I will forever be grateful to this wonderful Doctor, Man, caring human being for changing my life, for saving my life and for making me beautiful. I will refer everyone I know to this wonderful Doctor. The nurses that prepped me for surgery said, " he is the best". They weren't kidding, he truly is...... THANK YOU, DR. MICHAEL V. NOVIA you are amazing. H.Beattie Olympia Wa
