Went for skin sparing mastectomy and Dr. Brandt mistakenly removed my nipples. I can never get that back. Would NEVER recommend him.

I saw Dr Lopez. I really thought he knew his stuff and he had great bedside manner. I feel comfortable with him quickly. He also fully covered informed consent with risks, benefits, choice and my understanding of each of these. I'm scheduling surgery soon and feel really confident it will be great.

Dr Victor is so awesome, he took such good care of me. He is so sweet he actually took the time to see me and answer my questions. He didn't rush to get me out of his office. If you need surgery choose Dr B Victor, he's a rock star. Carolyn West

Dr. Glover's staff is friendly and helpful. He does not overbook so he saw me within five minutes of my scheduled appointment. He is knowledgeable and professional. He took time to explain my procedure and answered all my questions. It's evident he's not one of those doctors who are just in it for the money. I highly recommend him and his office.

Everyone at this office was polite, friendly and understanding. I needed to wait a few minutes extra to see the doctor, but was told he would be a little delayed. That helped not to feel forgotten. Dr. Abikhaled had reviewed my information and listened to my concerns. Then explained procedures in a way I could understand. He helped me feel assured and confident that I am in good hands!

Dr Mark Lindsey is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a general surgeon. I felt that I was treated professionally and kindly. In addition, unlike many medical offices I have visited these past several years, his support staff is friendly and helpful. Such a welcome surprise! My surgery went smoothly, and I am well on my path to healing. Rest assured that you are in good hands with Dr Lindsey.
