Surgeon

Has anyone had either Dr. Stolier or Dr Allen in New Orleans at Omega hospital perform their mastectomy and reconstruction? Just wondering about anyone else's experience with these physicians.

I used The Center for Restorative Breast Surgery in New Orleans for my final mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction. That would be Dr. Dellacroce and Dr. Sullivan, micro-surgeon plastic surgeons. I also had Dr. Lagarde for the mastectomy. I am a cancer patient and have been through a lot. The doctors have their own private hospital and everyone from the nurses to housekeeping are phenomenal. They are careful who works for them and only hire the best of the best. These Dr's listen and HEAR what you're saying to them. Go look for yourself at www.breastcenter.com. They offer a lot of choices but specialize in flap reconstructions. I'd do it again with them in a heartbeat! I now have two matching breasts and no tummy at the same time. Can you see the smile on my face???? From FLA to NOLA... airfare is cheap, the best of the best is worth the trip!!!
The Dr's you mention are great too but work out of a regular hospital. If you want more info and them and other choices, go to www.facingourrisk.org.
