Testimonials


Testi "Dr. Breitbart,

A year ago I entered you office with a tremendous amount of fear. The unknown road ahead of me seemed so overwhelming. I wasn’t sure I could ever make it through what lay ahead. I know that I could never express all the emotions I’m experiencing right now. You took my fear and turned it into a future. I will see my son graduate high school this year. I just celebrated my 50th birthday and I have many sunrises and sunsets to enjoy. I know God heard my prayers and answered them too. I hope you can experience a sense of pride knowing what a wonderful talent, skilled hands and artistic eyes you possess."

Testi "Dear Dr. Breitbart,

Just a quick note to tell you how happy I am with my new look. It’s been 5 months, and I’m enjoying this summer as never before. I no longer worry about the shape of my thighs or tummy and can enjoy the beach without self-consciousness. Thanks to you (and weight watchers), I have gone from a size 12 to a size 8 and couldn’t be happier!

Thanks again to you and your wonderful staff."

Testi "I have been thinking about having a rhinoplasty for approximately 15 years but have always had a lot of fears about the procedure and the outcome as well. From the time I had made contact with Dr. Breitbart and his office, the experience left me feeling more secure and less fearful. His office staff was so nice and answered all my inquiries. I was always made to feel very comfortable by Dr. Breitbart and never once did he act like any of the questions I had for him were absurd. He explained the whole procedure in detail and took the time to really listen to what my goals were. It was very important to me that he had said that the surgery would not alter how I had looked but would only make what I had nicer. Since the surgery I have been getting a lot of compliments on my nose and how natural it looks. I would definitely recommend Dr. Breitbart to anyone considering plastic surgery. He and his office staff helped me make a life long change with ease and confidence and for that I will be forever grateful."

Testi "I am trying to think of the part of my experience as a patient of Dr. Breitbart that was the most extraordinary. I don’t believe I can single out one particular aspect as the entire experience was extraordinary. After having lost a significant amount of weight through diet, I was still carrying around the effects of obesity. Correcting the deformity 360 degrees around my body would require a circumferential belt lipectomy. This substantial surgery would necessitate a contouring of my entire abdomen and back. I searched websites and went to several consultations and never felt entirely comfortable or confident.

It was a word of mouth recommendation, of course, that lead me to Dr. Breitbart. Thank goodness. Dr. Breitbart, from the initial consultation, lived up the words used to describe him. He graciously and gently combines safe, sound reasoning with an absolute understanding of the architecture of the body. However, it is his attention to detail and eye for esthetics that his raises his work to the level of art. It was immediately apparent that he regarded my needs and cared about my goals.

My surgery and aftercare was surprisingly comfortable, problem free, and the results far exceed my expectations. Simply put, I could not imagine my body could look this good. I received attention, courtesy, kindness and friendliness from Dr. Breitbart and his staff from the beginning, which never diminished. The office is extremely accommodating. I would like to say thank you to Dr. Breitbart and his staff for helping me to feel good about myself."

Testi "The 1st time I met Dr. Bretibart, I knew that I had chosen the best doctor to perform my abdominoplasty ("tummy tuck") & inner and outer thigh Liposuction. The staff made me feel comfortable & at ease, being both efficient as well as friendly.

During the 1st consultation/examination, Dr. Breitbart answered EVERY one of the 3 pages of questions that I had written out....even before I asked them!

My surgery was scheduled for 2 weeks later. The nurses & the anesthesiologists were caring & concerned as to my safety. I was kept well informed as to what was going to happen. I was released that day, with detailed discharge instructions.

My subsequent visits with Dr. Breitbart have provided me with pinpoint evaluations and explanations regarding my healing process. I have called the office several times with a variety of questions, & each one was returned by Dr. Breitbart the very same day.

I could not have expected better treatment. My satisfaction level is 100.

NOW, NOT ONLY AM I A "10", BUT (AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED) SO IS DR. BREITBART!!

Thank you so much!!!"

Testi "Dr. Breitbart and his professional staff were extraordinary in guiding me through my surgery. Dr. Breitbart’s balanced and focused approach provided clear expectations. The results were beautiful. I feel quite fortunate to have found Dr. Breitbart. And so will you!"

Testi "I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for making my otoplasty procedure as simple and painless as possible. I did quite a bit of research on the procedure and on various surgeons. I could not be happier with the results of Dr. Breitbart. From my initial consultation, he answered any and all questions I had, and even some questions I didn’t think to ask. The office staff was so friendly and helpful and they definitely helped me to relax and feel comfortable. I couldn’t be happier with my results. My only regret is not having the procedure done sooner. I would definitely recommend Dr. Breitbart to anyone who is considering cosmetic surgery, and I’m positive that they will be just as happy with their results as I am with my own."

Testi "All my life, I was self-conscious about my looks. I always felt people were looking at my nose instead of my face. I had always wanted cosmetic surgery but fear stopped me from ever considering rhinoplasty. After extensive research and recommendations, I went to see Dr. Breitbart. Dr. Breitbart took time out to explain every step of the procedure to me and answer all my questions. Within minutes, he erased all my fears and put me at ease. I went into surgery with full comfort and confidence and without any nervousness. My recovery was quick and easy. Within days I was able to get back to my old routines. I am ecstatic with the results. Dr. Breitbart delivered everything he said he would. His work is so natural. I thank Dr. Breitbart everyday for restoring my self-confidence. For that I will be forever grateful."

Testi "Beauty and grace. That’s what you have given me and so many like me. Your surgery is so much more than cosmetic. Thanks again."

Testi "Dear Dr. Breitbart,

Just a note to let you know how truly life changing my surgery is. It took me ten years to find courage to put my self first. What my body was before did not match the image I had of myself in my mind. Your skill has helped me integrate my being more fully mind-body-soul. I feel more whole than I ever have. I have spent many years working on my mind, spirit, and my body, but only the skill of a caring surgeon could have done what I possibly could not on my own. Thank you for listening and most of all, thank you for helping me create a more healthy self image."

Testi "After having a Tummy Tuck and thigh liposuction (April, 2008) with Dr. Breitbart, I decided to also have a mini-face lift and some contouring done on my arms. As before, the surgery and recovery process was fully explained to me, and I had full confidence in Dr. Breitbart and his surgical team. beautifully, and we were all able to put the accident behind us.

For me, having this surgical work was as much for my inner self, as for the outer image. Only 12 days after surgery, I feel great and I look great!! Once again, I could not be any more pleased!"
R.C.


Testi "Just a note to thank you for a superior job. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my abdominoplasty and breast lift. Consequently, I am quite proud of my “NEW” physique and am excited to share my experience with others. beautifully, and we were all able to put the accident behind us.

You were very assuring of my concerns and your office staff was friendly and supportive. During my post-operative follow up, you were always available for my questions. At three months post-op, my tummy is FLAT (I am overjoyed) and my breasts are uplifted and symmetrical. Did I mention that my husband is also thrilled with the way I look? beautifully, and we were all able to put the accident behind us.

I will always recommend you highly and would never consider going to anyone else for future procedures. beautifully, and we were all able to put the accident behind us.

Thank you."

Testi "I feel very lucky to have been referred to Dr. Breitbart when my daughter needed surgery following a bicycle+car accident. He was instantly reassuring, kind, and gentle with my daughter whose nose was broken. He corrected the problem, she healed beautifully, and we were all able to put the accident behind us.

Dr. Breitbart made it very easy for me to talk with him about my own concerns about how my face was aging, and I took the opportunity to discuss a range of options. A couple of years passed, and I became ready to do something about the loss of my jaw line….my face just blending into my neck, kind of like a turtle. Dr. Breitbart suggested that he could do a mini-neck lift that would be a subtle improvement that did not involve a lot of recovery time. What a great idea!

The surgery was not a big deal, and I returned to work the following week. It’s really hard to describe what a difference a little crispness of line at the chin makes for one’s overall appearance, but I am really thrilled. It’s completely natural, and the improvement gave me a bolt of confidence that has helped me with a career change.

Thank you, Dr. Breitbart."
