“Every step of the way was explained extensively and the staff was amazing.”
From the reviews
I am 76 years old. Doctor Sameer Patel, Fox Chase Cancer Center performed breast reconstruction surgery on me. I was up and walking around the next day, and virtually pain free. My new breasts look beautiful. Dr. Patel is a true miracle worker.
Dr. Walchk and Dr. Julia are amazing and have been so helpful at putting my needs and concerns to ease. Vanessa who scheduled my appointments is amazing at scheduling in a timely manner along with her companion for all my needs.
I have to echo everyone else's sentiments here about Dr. Patel! He is absolutely the best!! I praise the LORD for him and his skillfulness! Dr. Patel performed reconstructive surgery on my right breast via DIEP flap due to "invasive ductal carcinoma" in February 2018. Absolute Perfection!!!!
Doctor was knowledgeable, patient, all staff were professional and caring. There is NO patient privacy at front desk when checking in. Other patients were waiting to check in and could hear all information. There was no sign in sheet.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
