Patient Testimonials
Dr. D'Amico,
I couldn't imagine having a mastectomy without reconstructive surgery. What you do for women like myself truly makes a difference in our recovery.
- Mary Ellen G
Dr. D'Amico, I can't thank you enough for the fabulous job you did on my breast reduction. You listened and understood how uncomfortable my large breasts were to me and how mortified I was to have anyone look at them. You made my breasts smaller and more youthful looking. Not only are my backaches gone, but I am now able to wear the clothes I could NEVER have worn before. I even wore a strapless dress to my sons wedding!!
I also want to thank your skilled nursing staff for giving me such great care and for being so patient with me both before and after my surgery.
P.S. My husband thanks you too
Again, thank you.

"Thank you so much for helping me transform my body and allowing me to regain the self-confidence I lost over the years when I worked so hard and made little or no progress to improve my body on my own."
- Susan H.
"Your reputation as one of the finest plastic surgeons in the metropolitan area is well deserved. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed a mastectomy, choosing just the right surgeon to do my reconstruction was paramount. You and your excellent caring staff answered all my questions and never rushed me. I went into surgery feeling confident. As I look at my reconstruction, I know I made the right choice. I look as beautiful on the outside as I feel on the inside."
- Wendy P.
"I love my new shape! It's like I am a different person. I knew liposuction would make a difference, but I didn't realize how much. My clothes look and fit so much better and I have received so many compliments on my figure. I'm thinking about doing my face next!"
- Barbara H.
