I have had a very good experience with Dr. Breitbart during my procedure (breast lift with little breast reduction). I am almost at two months since the surgery, and I am very happy with the size/shape. My scars are still healing (and believe they will be for some time), but everything looks good, including shape/size of nipples.

Anonymous

Breitbart allowed me to come in and see him whenever I had any anxieties, questions, or concerns, even if it wasn't time to see him yet. I very much appreciated these possibly unnecessary doctor visits. Makes a patient feel valued and safe!... HIGHLY RECOMMEND… Only regret? Should have done this sooner in life.

RealSelf Review of Dr. Breitbart

I have been going to Dr. Breitbart for a few years now and have had a few procedures done. I had been to other plastic surgeons but would never ever see anyone other than Dr. Breitbart. Dr. Breitbart has all the qualities you look for in a doctor: Compassion, Strong Work Ethic, Professionalism, Knowledge, Confidence, Humility, and Passion for his work. I have been very pleased with all my results.

I had an extraordinarily positive experience and would do it all over again… I had SmartLipo of the Lower abdomen and flanks. My first interaction and all others with the front-line staff was lovely… Dr. Breitbart is exceptionally professional and exceeded my expectations. Clearly, he has extensive experience in the field, and what I loved the most was his calm demeanor while explaining everything to me from beginning to end.
