Dr. Nazerali is a true artist! He skillfully reconstructed my breasts. I am overwhelmed with gratitude at the body he created for me. Dr. Nazerali is kind, a great listener, and extremely knowledgeable regarding breast reconstruction methods and options. I chose a bilateral DIEP flap procedure. I underwent surgery in January, and everything has healed beautifully. I am looking forward to phase 2 in August. I highly recommend Dr. Nazerali to anyone seeking breast reconstruction. He gave me back my body and I am forever grateful.
