Testimonials


Testi "Dear Dr. Rosen, Just a letter of thanks, to you and the entire staff at The Plastic Surgery Group. Your courtesy and professionalism was greatly appreciated by myself and family."


Testi "Dear Dr. Rosen,
I am truly thankful for so many aspects of my experience with you and your entire staff that I really do not know where to begin. So I will start with the part that I am most excited about...my results! I am currently 6 weeks post-op and am beyond thrilled with my new shape. My results have exceeded even my highest expectations. I had scheduled my BA for February so that I would look "normal" by the time warm weather arrived. I see now that was totally unnecessary. In fact, at the 4-week mark I had a routine medical check-up during which my physician suggested she check the incisions to see how I was healing. As she examined my breasts she asked if the scars were "under my arm". Having had areolar incisions, I suggested that she look again more closely. She was absolutely astounded. The incision sites were so faintly visible that she did not see them initially. She asked who my surgeon was and told me she had never seen such a natural looking result. Quite an endorsement! Evan my mother, who is not a fan of cosmetic enhancements, said that if she did not know what I looked like before, she would never ba able to tell that they were not "original".

Of course, the end result is just part of the story when it comes to having surgery. I am most grateful for your unparalleled kindness, patience and warmth, which put me at ease, calmed my jittery nerves, and has made me fell completely comfortable each step of the way and beyond. Prior to the surgery, you listened carefully to my preferences regarding outcome. Post-op anytime I've had a concern or question you've made time for me - even on short notice.

Your staff has been amazing, too. From the front desk all the way through to your nurses Meghan, Mary and Toni, who are always upbeat and reassuring. It's clear that they really care about their patients. Alicia Soltys, your PA was so patient explaining all the pre and post-op instructions, calmly answering each of my questions with the utmost knowledge and competence. She even called to check on me at home during my recovery.

I have enclose some early post-op photos that I took. Please feel free to share them with other patients. Thanks again, you and your staff are truly the "gold standard".

Warmest Regards,"
K.G.

Testi "Dr. Rosen is a wonderful man And I am his biggest fan Since I was four he cared for me He saw things no one else could see Of all the doctors beginning to end I thought of him like a friend He fixed my arm, my leg and hair And did it with the gentlest care He always knew to make me feel Like my thoughts and feelings were real He changed my life, he helped me grow For that I love him forever you know Praises to Dr. Rosen I sing for giving me just one more thing Something to drive my mother insane Growing out this thick full mane."
R.S.


Testi "Dr. Rosen was right, I came out feeling whole. He was fantastic. I love that man! What a great doctor. I thanked him for taking such good care of me, and I was crying when I said it, because I felt so grateful to him.

In Rosen’s office she noticed a pair of striking acrylic sculptures, "Exaltation” and "Emerging Flame,” by the late Frederick Hart, showing ideally formed women emerging sylph-like from what looks like jagged rock or ice. "I looked at those,” she says, "and I thought, ‘THAT’s how I feel. That’s me, now.”"

Valerie J. Ablaza, M.D.

Dr. Valerie J. Ablaza is a partner and the Corporate Vice President of The Plastic Surgery Group. She is unique in her profession, noting that just one out of 10 plastic surgeons are women. "I know that my perspective and sensitivities are different than my male colleagues," she says. "Of course, there are things that my female patients will tell me that they would never tell a man, but surprisingly, many men also prefer the insight and perspective of a female plastic surgeon."

Dr. Valerie Ablaza is board certified by The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and is a Fellow of The American College of Surgeons. She is also a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Phi Beta Kappa and the Alpha Epsilon Delta honor society. She received her medical degree from The Medical College of Pennsylvania, completed her residency in plastic surgery at The New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center, and finished her training with a fellowship in breast and aesthetic surgery in Nashville, Tennessee, with the internationally renowned plastic surgeon G.
