Testimonials

Not only was Dr. Salzberg’s bedside manner amazing – he allowed me to complete my reconstruction in one step, rather than an arduous 6-8 month process – I can’t thank him enough for his patience, immediate responses to countless e-mails and most importantly, his talent. My twin is scheduling her surgery with him this summer! I think that Dr. Salzberg is one of New Yorks best breast reconstruction doctors, period! – Kyla, CA.

I was teaching ballet class exactly two weeks to the day after my surgery. My AlloDerm One-Stage procedure was so much easier than I ever anticipated. Dr. Salzberg is not only an amazing surgeon, but an amazing person as well. – Suzanne

To wake up…and feel as great as I did—brilliant! You are all one in a million! – Megan

I know it sounds crazy, but somehow, Dr. Salzberg has made a prophylactic double mastectomy a beautiful thing. The cosmetic results of using One-Stage reconstruction with AlloDerm are truly magnificent. Being BRCA1 positive, I will always be grateful to Dr. Salzberg, because I know if his technique did not exist, I would still be deciding how to reduce my risk of breast cancer. – Mariamne, NY

My nipple sparing, One-Stage breast reconstruction with silicone implants and AlloDerm was a much easier process that I ever imagined, and afforded me beautiful, natural-looking, natural-feeling breasts. I had very little pain, made a quick recovery, and maintained a good deal of sensation. Once at high risk for breast cancer, I have gained a better quality of life and enhanced my appearance as well. - Sharon, MD

I cannot recommend Dr. Salzberg highly enough! I am so thankful he developed the One-Stage AlloDerm breast reconstruction method so I would need only one surgery and recuperation period and could then get on with the business of really living. I cannot imagine going through the lengthy expansion process. Dr. Salzberg is uniquely gifted with superior medical competence and a great bedside manner. He is kind, compassionate and funny! He answered all my questions during my consultation appointment and after my surgery. At eight weeks post surgery, I feel great and my breasts look wonderful.
- Crystal, NY

Facing a strong possibility of breast cancer due to family history and pre-cancerous breast lesions, I decided to seek prophylactic bilateral mastectomy. As a physician, I researched every possible surgical option and was already scheduled for implant reconstruction with expanders when I learned about Dr. Salzberg’s revolutionary One-Stage breast reconstruction with AlloDerm. I knew I had found the right procedure and the right surgeon for me. His warmth, sensitivity and kindness, combined with his incredible surgical talent and aesthetic sense is what made this procedure easy for me. My recovery was easy and the cosmetic outcome exceeded my expectations. - MW, FL

I just can’t thank you enough and express my gratitude for a wonderful job! You truly are one amazing doctor. I would have never been able to do this procedure if it weren’t for you and the One-Stage AlloDerm reconstruction you pioneered. The results are truly amazing. Your staff and Beth are terrific, very patient and understanding. What more can I say except a giant “Thank You.” – R, CO

I knew right away that Dr. Salzberg was the right doctor for me. He was really interested in me, not just a procedure. – KJ

Dr. Salzberg is down-to-earth and approachable; I immediately felt at ease. He patiently listened to my concerns, answering all my questions, explaining my options and telling me what he recommended. I never felt pushed or rushed. Throughout the process, he was always available by phone or e-mail. I will never forget waiting in the pre-op area and breaking down. I was so nervous and it finally hit me: after months of researching and deliberating, I was actually going through with it. Dr. Salzberg sat beside me, held my hand and let me cry. Now one and a half years out from my surgery, I absolutely love my results. I feel so grateful that I took the chance and traveled to New York to meet him.
-Sarah, MA

My husband and I were very confused about my options and interviewed about 10 surgeons. However, after our initial consultation with Dr. Salzberg, we both knew immediately that we wanted him to do my surgery, even though it meant flying to New York from Chicago. He was reassuring, gracious, knowledgeable and professional, giving us as much time as we needed. – Constance, IL

My life has changed for the better thanks to you and your staff. - BB

My results surpassed my highest expectations, and for that I am forever grateful. I am beyond pleased with every aspect of my surgery, from beginning to end. - SC

I don’t know what I would have done without Dr. Salzberg and his wonderful staff! I talked to more than a dozen of Dr. Salzberg’s recent patients and every one of them raved about him and their results. When I spoke to Dr. Salzberg, he couldn’t have been kinder or more reassuring. I had such confidence in him, both my husband and I felt it was a no-brainer to fly across country to have him perform my surgery. If I had years to research instead of just a couple of weeks, I could not have chosen better. To this day I still can’t believe how lucky I was to end up under Dr. Salzberg’s care and I am truly grateful.
- Diann, NV

I can’t thank you enough. You and your staff made me feel like a new woman. - LP

Words cannot express the gratitude felt in my heart for your kindness, compassion and artistry. - TT

I am very grateful that Dr. Salzberg pioneered this one-step reconstruction. This option offers women an amazing cosmetic outcome and no need to go through the traditional expansion process and a second surgery to place the final implants. Thank you, Dr. Salzberg, for thinking outside of the box! - Gabriel, NY

I am forever grateful for all of your care, concern, candor and calm leading up to and beyond my September surgery. You will never know how much your emails and phone calls meant to me as I asked my incessant questions and you continued to answer them. There truly need to be more doctors like you. You are a special man and a truly gifted surgeon. Thank you so much for giving my body back to me! At almost 6 months out, I hardly notice that I’ve had surgery. Thank you, thank you. All of my best. - R.

Dr. S – I just wanted to let you know that my mood improved dramatically after I took my last Vicodin. I do not like the way I feel on pain killers but I did need them for about a week. Also, my husband told me I was babbling and rude to you at my last appt. to remove the drains. Please accept my apology. (I would rather have a root canal than drains pulled). The FORCE Conference is May 18th & 19th 2007 in Tampa @ the Hyatt. Bring your wife – there’s great shopping! I feel it is so important for the medical and lay community to hear about the One Step AlloDerm procedure that you do. Thanks again. - C.
