After 13 years of working up the courage, and several interviews with top area surgeons, I knew immediately that Dr. Tattelbaum was the perfect doctor for me. I was initially attracted to his before and after pics from realself. After meeting with him, I was happy that he believed he could perform a full tummy tuck and a breast lift without implants. I was also attracted to his honest demeanor and compassionate bedside manner. He happily answered my extensive list of questions and addressed my concerns. From various reviews of other surgeons, many complained that they never see or hear from their surgeon after their procedure. I can tell you that you will see Dr. Tattelbaum, and he responds to all phone calls personally. He never makes you feel as though you are rushing him, and was always willing to see me if I felt worried or concerned after my procedure. Before my surgery, I was terrified. He and staff were so compassionate, his nurse held my hand, and he gave me some reassuring words. Finally, I am thrilled with my results! I feel so comfortable in my skin again, and it is a true life changing experience.
