Dr. Tattelbaum could not have been a better or more attentive surgeon. Every step of the way, he was kind, supportive, practical and completely honest. He's the rare surgeon that truly wants patients to have the best result for them, whatever that means. He realistically prepared me for what my surgical outcome would be, no sugarcoating, and I found that incredibly refreshing. He answered every question both myself and my (now-retired) RN mother could think of, and was incredibly reassuring. In addition to his helpful attitude, he's also incredibly skilled as a surgeon. My result was more than even I expected - incredibly neat, straight and THIN incision lines on both my belly and breasts. The healing process has proceeded just as he said it would. Post surgery, he called to check on me multiple times and reassure us regarding any questions or issues - also making it so that we didn't have to run to his office every time some small thing went wrong or seemed concerning. Bottom line, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Tattelbaum to anyone, and would absolutely go back to him if I ever desired another procedure.
