How it works

- 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.

Deciding Deciding to have breast reduction...
Deciding
Deciding to have breast reduction surgery takes years.
If you're reading this because you're looking for a great surgeon to perform your breast reduction surgery then you know what I mean. For so many years my back hunched over, my bras dug into my skin, and my clothes didn't fit. I was embarrassed by unwanted attention. I really wanted breast reduction, but fear made me put it off for far too long.
And then finally I decided.
But then what? Turns out, finding a surgeon that you really like and that can perform an OHIP-covered breast reduction (meaning in a hospital instead of in a clinic) is difficult. I had met with a surgeon once and really disliked him. A referral from my family doctor to a different surgeon ended up being a horrible and demoralizing experience. A google search was overwhelming. A few fruitless phone calls later and I was feeling defeated. Then a very kind woman who once worked for Dr. O'Grady suggested I go see him, and told me that he does excellent work. He sure does, but more on that in a bit.
Consultation and Surgery
From my first phone call to Dr. O'Grady's office my experience changed. His receptionist was refreshingly happy to help. At my consultation Dr. O'Grady was kind, helpful, and had a relaxed, unhurried demeanor that put me completely at ease. He genuinely welcomed my questions. Dr. O'Grady uses the "lollipop" technique, which requires less cutting than the traditional "anchor", and creates a more desirable shape. I learned that he wouldn't need to use any drains and that my stitches would all be dissolvable. I left that day feeling excited and confident in his ability.
Our pre-op appointment was more of the same: friendly staff, lots of helpful information, and confirmation in my mind that I was in the best of hands.
In the OR on the day of my surgery, Dr. O'Grady and I again discussed what size I was hoping to be and then a very lovely anesthesiologist used laughing gas to put me gently to sleep. I remember feeling very relaxed and safe.
Recovery
When I woke up? Elation and relief as soon as I looked down at my chest!!! The nurses made sure that I wasn't in any pain and then I went home a few hours later.
The next day my husband helped me remove my gauze. We were both shocked at how great my breasts looked already. They were swollen but their shape was beautiful and my nipples were higher than they'd been since high school. My results have continued to improve since then. The swelling has gone down and my breasts are a perfect size. My shoulders and back feel better. I still get a thrill whenever I see myself in a mirror.
I've had two post-op appointments with Dr. O'Grady, and will have a few more. When I see him he examines my incisions (everything looks great!), asks me if I'm having pain (I'm not!), and whether I'm pleased with my results (SO HAPPY!!!!). Then I thank him and thank him. How can I ever thank him enough?
Outcome
This surgeon has the talent, skill, and experience to create the results you're hoping for. He's got the staff and bedside manner to make the entire process a positive experience. I feel like a new person thanks to him.
If you’ve been suffering for years and want breast reduction surgery, please don't hesitate any longer. The hardest part is deciding. Then call Dr. O’Grady; the rest will be a breeze.
