Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Patient Testimonials

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

"My tummy tuck has given me a new lease on life. Despite exercising, I had loose abdominal skin and a middle-aged pouch after two pregnancies. So when I needed to have a total abdominal hysterectomy, I had an abdominoplasty along with it. My abdomen is now flat and I wear clothes that I avoided before. I feel more attractive, younger, and thinner."

Arm Lift

"I was left with an excess amount of skin following weight loss after gastric bypass surgery. My doctor at Columbia performed a brachioplasty on me and did a wonderful job. I have recommended him to my family and friends."

BOTOX® /Collagen

"My surgeon is a godsend. He injected my forehead with BOTOX® and now my 'worry lines' are gone. I cannot thank him enough for the superb job he did on my face. Having the procedure was a big decision, especially because it involved work on my face; every woman knows how scary that can be. However, it turned out wonderfully. It was so easy and fast. I never dreamed I could be so happy with the results. From the first to the last, everything went so smoothly. The doctor is a gifted surgeon, and the people who work in the hospital couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. Thank you all!"

Breast Augmentation

"For many years I felt self-conscious and uncomfortable about the size of my breasts. Finally I decided to take a chance and go for a consultation. A friend of mine recommended Columbia University Medical Center. From the moment I walked into his office I was put at ease by my doctor's professionalism and friendly manner. I had the surgery and I am so happy; I feel more confident and feminine. The overall experience was wonderful!"

Breast Lift

"I would put my life in my doctor's hands any time."

Breast Reduction

"Unfortunately, I inherited my mother's large, heavy, pendulous breasts. For years I suffered with back pain, sores and scars on my shoulders. I finally decided to have a breast reduction at Columbia University Medical Center, and it was the best move I've ever made. I experienced very little discomfort, and the results were far above my expectations. Today I am a perfect size 38C. I was thrilled by my doctor's work. I had absolutely no pain, was comfortable moving about my house, and recovered in a few short days. I love how I now look and feel about myself. The doctor who operated on me is extremely talented and does amazing work. I recommend him highly."

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

"My wife kept telling me how tired and old I looked, even when I felt great and thought I looked good. A friend of mine recommended Columbia University Medical Center. I liked my surgeon immediately, and after speaking with him I became comfortable with the idea of surgery. The surgery was a complete success, and the results are phenomenal! I couldn't be happier."

"Best thing I ever did. Virtually painless, 10 days downtime, 10 years younger."

"Any procedure is only as good as the person performing it. I had no qualms about turning to my surgeon at Columbia University Medical Center. His professionalism, thoughtfulness and willingness to devote as much attention as required to address my concerns, made me trust him immediately. I was back at work after a week, looking fresher and feeling younger. Now, one year after, I wonder why it took me so long to have the procedure."

Facelift

"Having a face-lift was the best thing I ever did. I feel and look great. My Columbia surgeon was with me every step of the way. The office and hospital personnel were kind and understanding. As a result I trusted his abilities as a surgeon. Mostly the proof is in the results."
