Patient Reviews
Oct 26, 2021
I had a double mastectomy plus radiation prior to getting my reconstructive surgery. My mastectomy/radiation left me with extensive surgical trauma/scar/disfigurement. I first met Dr.Bates a year prior to mastectomy and then again post mastectomy/radiation. The ease of my appointment was great, comfort level great, follow up care great . Unlike most patients because of my mastectomy I had a highly invasive procedure that needed an extremely skilled microsurgeon ( 12 hour surgery) . My procedure was called a diep … basically he used my tummy skin, fat and some blood vessels , transferred to chest area to recreate new breast . It takes a skilled hand/microsurgeon and attention to every small detail to have a successful diep done. I am 100% satisfied with pre op care, post op care, pain management and mostly his explanation of realistic expectations based on one’s individual case. I will be seen him in future for cosmetic surgery unrelated to cancer.
