I Wish I Could Give Dr. Murariu and His Team 10 Stars!
I honestly don't know where to begin because my experience with Dr. Daniel Murariu and his team has meant so much to me.
My breast cancer journey began with a mastectomy in 2025, followed a few months later by reconstruction with implants performed by another physician. Unfortunately, my results were painful and, to me, definitely did not look natural. Every day I would look in the mirror and not like what I saw. I remember thinking, How dare cancer take so much from me and then leave me with this outcome, too?
I had another revision, but I still wasn't happy with the result. There was rippling and displacement, and I continued to feel that my body just didn't look or feel like me.
Then I learned about DIEP flap reconstruction--a procedure using my own abdominal skin and fat to create a breast with my own tissue rather than an implant. I read about Dr. Murariu and his team and the robotic approach they offer, and I made an appointment.
That consultation changed everything.
From my very first appointment, Dr. Murariu listened to me. Really listened. He explained my options clearly and gave me realistic answers about what could and couldn't be done in my particular situation.
And there is something else that meant more to me than I can adequately put into words: I am 69 years old. Not once did Dr. Murariu make me feel that my age meant I shouldn't want reconstruction, shouldn't care about how I looked, or shouldn't pursue the best possible outcome for myself.
He made me feel like a woman who deserved to feel good about her body again.
That mattered tremendously to me.
At every appointment, Dr. Murariu has taken as much time as I needed. I have never felt rushed or like he was simply trying to get to his next patient. He explains things, answers my questions, listens to my concerns, and somehow has a way of making me feel completely at ease. I always leave feeling like I was heard and that I genuinely matter.
His staff is absolutely amazing as well. They are kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Throughout this entire process, I have felt supported and cared for.
On October 2, 2026, I had Phase 2 of my DIEP flap surgery. Before surgery, Dr. Murariu took the time to sit with me and explain exactly what he was going to do and, just as importantly, why. I felt completely comfortable with the decisions we made together.
After everything I had been through, finding a surgeon I could trust was incredibly important to me. Dr. Murariu gave me something I wasn't sure I would ever have again: hope that I could look in the mirror and feel like myself.
I am so grateful that I found him.
If you are considering breast reconstruction or revision, especially if you have ever felt that your age, your previous surgeries, or your circumstances might limit your options, I encourage you to have a conversation with Dr. Murariu. He will listen. He will give you honest options. And he will treat you with the respect and compassion you deserve.
Dr. Murariu and his entire team have been exceptional. I would give them 10 stars if Yelp would let me! read more
