Patient Testimonials

"Thank you everyone! Thank you so much for both your skill and
kindness. I never dreamed I would look so "normal" again. All of you
have made this journey far less stressful than I could have imagined.
With my deepest gratitude,

Dear Dr. Kao,

When I learned I had breast cancer and that I would need a double mastectomy I was horrified. I felt violated, the fear overwhelming that I would lose my breasts. I had nursed my boys. I found sexual pleasure, my god they had been with me since my beginning.

I met with other plastic surgeons and lost my faith in doctors. Someone suggested that I meet with you. To be honest you were the last doctor I would see because I was to the brink of despair. I had made up my mind if I did not feel right with our initial meeting I was not going to have the reconstruction!!

Immediately when I met you I knew you were different. I felt so cared about and knew I would be in good hands ( literally ). Dr Kao never did you allow me to lose my dignity. You quickly became my superhero, you took away all my fears and concerns and I now felt like I was on a adventure now always looking forward to our next visit or surgery.

As horrific as my situation was you turned it around and my husband and I are in agreement that I look better than before.

For as long as I live, I will always remember you, as you truly are my hero. You turned me into a believer that good can come out of bad.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Dr. Kao,

Although I was unfortunate in being stricken with breast cancer, I am very fortunate to have net you. At a time when life seemed grim, you treated me with respect and gave me hope.

After my masectomy I felt very distorted. But once left in your hands, I can honestly say I look better than before. Thank you Dr. Kao, now I actually have fun shopping for "bras".

Love,

Dear Dr. Kao,
I just wanted you to know that I went for my annual mammogram today and AGAIN another X-ray nurse commented on the REMARKABLE surgery you performed - reconstruction - lift of the right breast to make them both symmetrical et al.

As you can well imagine, it's most difficult for me to have to re-hash the four (4) surgeries I endured in 2003 every year when I go for my mammogram, but the GREAT news is I feel that I placed myself in the MOST COMPETANT HANDS with you!!!!

You are a blessing in my life and for that I will be forever thankful and continue to wish you the best!!!!!!!

Hello Julie,

Just wanted to tell you, that it's the evening of the surgery and I feel great! Don't even need painkillers.You guys are fabulous over there, I include everybody of course, but especially you.

My nurse was so nice and good (I can't remember her name, I was too spaced out, sorry). The anesthesiologist was very sweet and caring and I feel almost normal tonight, like nothing happened, like I was never knocked out. He did a great job! And of course Dr. Kao - the Master!

When this latest round is healed up, I will finally be able to wear low-cut clothes again and I'm looking forward to it! Very low-cut!

See you next week,
