When I was hospitalized with a surgical complication the MD did not recognize that it was from surgery and refused to consult!!! My team called him MIA doctor. Outrageous. Don't be fooled by the fancy office. Experience and communication is sorely lacking. They are not equipped to deal with serious issues.

Dr. Diaconu thoroughly explained all options. Originally I was in for a tummy tuck plus matching new boobs. For many medical reasons involving other surgeries that I had over the years I chose to have another masectomy with no reconstruction. I wasn't sure why I needed a plastic surgeon at his point until I saw my results. Dr. D removed a chunk of fat from my back from the previous masectomy and then fixed up andaligned the stitches to match my new masectomy. It all sounds kind of horrible but I am as impressed as I can be with a scar across my chest, I'm very impressed. I'm also glad not to be lopsided.

I'd like to start by saying Sam Robinson on YouTube recommended this doctor so I've waited for this surgery for ten plus years and I feel like she should also be held accountable for recommending a surgeon to young impressionable girls on YouTube. I saved up 10.6 thousand dollars because I thought you get what you pay for let's spend the most money for a boob job and I'll get the best one when other surgeons do it for under five grand. Scheduling was bad. Plans always changed and they kept telling me I needed clearances and then I didn't and then I did oops then I didn't. It was stressful. Day of surgery dr bitar completely treated my partner like he was invisible to the point my partner didn't come to post op appointments with me. Two weeks post op I knew I was botched I'm not even joking. Matter of fact I knew something was wrong when I got off the table and had no cleavage right upon waking up after surgery. They took the tape off at two weeks and i knew my surgery was botched. It shifted right to my armpit. I couldn't put my arm down. I have shooting nerve pain all around my side and back and couldn't sleep for months. My boobs are flat and go to my side when I lay down. It doesn't even look like I have a boob job how malpositioned he placed them. He kept gaslighting me saying it's just swelling it will go down , then it was oh it's how my chest is shaped and that's naturally where they sit , then I kept bugging because I'm in pain and can't workout without a tit being in my armpit and he said I have to wait a year to get a revision that he would also be charging me for another cost when he botched me. On top of almost eleven thousand dollars. He also had the nerve to say how he does thousands of surgeries and he never has complaints and he was getting snappy saying that I'm unhappy and he is the best surgeon. Like drop the ego you botched a young girl and don't want to take responsibility. Embarrassing. Everyday people ask me why I paid for this and say how far apart they are and how this is not normal. Other surgeons questioned if he was even board certified or even a real doctor at all they were so horrified. The scars are so deep and keloided when he insisted on going through my armpit because he'd leave no scar. Then told me to revise them he'd make a new cut under the breast. No thanks you already have me looking like a Texas chainsaw victim. Three or four other surgeons told me to write a review and not to let this go because dr bitar made the pocket too large and didn't take any accountability and has no pride in his work to fix his error in a timely manor free of charge. all other doctors said they'd be embarrassed to charge for a revision if they did this. I thankfully am not hurting for money and can afford to go elsewhere to fix what he did to me but please I am begging you if you have to save your money and a surgery is something you really want and don't want to have to revise it or spend any extra when it's done poorly , please find another surgeon and stay far away from this botch job of a clown who calls himself a good surgeon. Look at what he did to me and imagine the pain and nerve damage I feel

I spent at least three years researching local surgeons, risks, complications, etc. I also have several breast tumors and was unsure of my options. After a few unimpressive local consultations and a lot of anxiety, I thought breast surgery was not in the cards for me. Then a friend showed me Dr. Maia's Instagram. I was blown away by the natural look and shape she created on her patients. I quickly scheduled a consultation with Dr. Maia and knew I had found the right surgeon! Dr. Maia has an impressive and extensive education and training through a Harvard fellowship and even has her own skincare line. Not only is Dr. Maia brilliant, but she also took the time to understand and address my concerns, fears, and goals. She is passionate about her profession and genuinely cares about her patients. During the preoperative stages, I had a breast cancer scare. Dr. Maia and her team were so concerned and supportive! I cannot say enough about how wonderful and accommodating she and her staff were during that time. Her team also ensured I had everything I needed for a successful surgery. They had excellent communication and were constantly in touch via phone and text message to ensure I was prepared for surgery and to answer all my questions. After surgery, I was shocked at how good I felt once the anesthesia wore off. Dr. Maia performed a breast lift, augmentation, and removal of cysts. I had little to no pain and did not take any prescribed pain medication during my recovery. Dr. Maia's team checked on me daily to ensure I was recovering well. The communications were via text message and an app where I could upload photos for real-time responses. This was so convenient for me during recovery, and I never felt bound to standard doctor's office hours; they were always available. Dr. Maia and her team also diligently scheduled the post-op follow-up appointments. My incisions closed very quickly, and my scarring is looking great! I am beyond pleased with my results and still cannot believe this is my body. I never thought this would be possible for me, and I cannot thank Dr. Maia enough for my excellent results! If you are considering cosmetic surgery, I urge you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Maia!

Before paying the $99 fee I asked the front desk if he fixes hernias in conjunction with an abdominoplasty/and or component separation, they said yes so I proceeded with the appointment.

THEN he saw that I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and asked, "Oh, can you do all those cool bendy tricks? He then proceeded to have me show him my abdomen in which he kept saying I'm making him nervous. When taking the photos of my abdomen he says - I will definitely remember your abdomen for sure, this is just for records. Mind you I am extremely self conscious of how my abdomen looks at the moment and I found this extremely insensitive. All in all he basically said I don't need him, BUT if I wanted him to tag along with my general surgeon he could. Why would I EVER want a doctor who keeps saying he is nervous the WHOLE entire appointment with extremely insensitive bedmanners to ever work on me. He then left the appt with "Enjoy your cup"- left the cup there, I don't want anything with your name on it. I try to avoid conflict, otherwise I'm sure someone else would have spoken up to him directly. I spoke with the office manager who refused to refund my $99. It's fine if he didn't want to take me on as a patient, or thought I just needed a general surgeon- but the whole appointment I felt uncomfortable and self-conscious.

It is also worth mentioning the staff their are all amazing.

After carrying 8-pound twins and a 9.5-pound baby, I was left with significant abdominal muscle separation. I lost the baby weight, went through several major life changes, and eventually got myself back into good shape, but there came a point when I had to acknowledge that there were things exercise simply wasn't going to fix. I even worked with two different pelvic floor therapists specifically to address the muscle separation before deciding that a surgical consultation was the right next step for me. Once I made that decision, I did A LOT of research on clinics and providers in the area. Austin-Weston was the one I kept coming back to. I sought out Dr. Kochuba specifically because of his background and experience, and his consistently amazing reviews definitely played a part in getting me through the door. Now, being on the other side of surgery, I completely understand why his patients speak so highly of him. From my first consultation, I felt comfortable with him. He listened to what bothered me and what I hoped to accomplish, pointed out things he noticed from his area of expertise, and was very straightforward about what surgery could and couldn't do. He helped manage my expectations in terms of my results, and I never felt like he was trying to sell me on more procedures or convince me to do something I didn't need. Most importantly, I needed relief from some of the secondary issues I was experiencing as a result of the muscle separation, and I wanted to feel like myself again, not like a completely different person. I felt like he understood that from the beginning. Ultimately, I chose to have a tummy tuck with muscle repair and liposuction. The Austin-Weston team was also incredible from beginning to end. My surgical consultant was informative and helpful, the nurses were fantastic, and I always felt like I knew what was happening and who to contact if I needed something. I also opted to have an overnight nurse after surgery and to stay at the facility through my follow-up the next day. If you're debating whether it's worth it, do it. I cannot recommend that option enough. Those first hours after surgery are a lot, and having someone there who knew exactly what was normal, kept me comfortable, helped manage my medications, made sure I actually rested, and gave me peace of mind was worth every penny. My recovery went very smoothly, and I credit a lot of that to how well the team at Austin-Weston prepared me beforehand. The patient and caregiver education made a huge difference. I knew what to expect, what was normal, what to watch for, and how best to manage those first days and weeks of recovery. I never felt like we were going into it blind. I am thrilled with my results, especially now that I am 3 months out and back to my regular work out routine and daily life. My strength has improved tenfold and an unexpected benefit is that my posture has improved greatly. I remember sitting in bed a few days post op remarking I could actually sit up straight. The aesthetic transformation has been a huge bonus, and one I'm incredibly happy with, but feeling like my core is functional and connected again has been just as important to me as what I look like. One thing I would add for anyone considering this: most people looking at me before surgery probably would have said I didn't "need" a tummy tuck. I was at a healthy weight, active, and in good shape. But they also weren't living in my body. They couldn't feel the muscle separation or the secondary issues it was causing, and they can't decide what would make me feel the most comfortable in my skin. There will always be people with opinions about whether you "need" plastic surgery, but ultimately this is such a personal decision. Do your research, understand the risks, have realistic expectations, and then make the decision that's right for you. If I had to make the decision again, I would choose Dr. Kochuba and Austin-Weston without hesitation. I wish everyone could have this kind of experience with their care providers. I went into this having done a ton of research and with very high expectations, and somehow the experience and my results still exceeded them, my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

I am writing this to share my personal experience so others can make a careful and fully informed…read moredecision before choosing a surgeon. I underwent a deep plane facelift procedure with Dr. Daria Hamrah, who is an oral surgeon. I trusted his credentials, his consultation, and the way the procedure was presented to me. Based on that trust, I moved forward with surgery expecting a professional, thoughtful, and responsible outcome. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. After the surgery, I was left with facial asymmetry, uneven contours, and visible irregularities. My face appeared unbalanced, with areas that looked lumpy, distorted, and not natural. This was not what I expected from such a complex and highly marketed procedure. When I first raised my concerns, I was told to wait and allow time for healing. I respected that advice and waited patiently for over a year, believing that the results would gradually improve. They did not improve. In my experience, the outcome became more concerning over time. When I reached out again to address these ongoing issues, instead of receiving a clear and supportive resolution, I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously. Eventually, I was informed that the physician-patient relationship would no longer continue. This left me without support after a significant surgical experience, a substantial financial investment, and a long period of waiting. When I raised my concerns and felt significantly affected by the outcome, I requested a partial refund as a reasonable resolution. Instead of addressing my concerns or taking responsibility, I felt that my concerns were not acknowledged, and my access to communication--including social media--was blocked In addition, there were aspects of the treatment plan that, from my understanding during consultation, were expected to be performed but were not carried out as I had anticipated. This added to my confusion and disappointment. As a patient, I trusted an oral surgeon to perform a facial cosmetic procedure that requires not only technical skill but also aesthetic judgment and careful follow-through. Based on my personal experience, I did not receive the outcome or level of care that I had hoped for. This experience has cost me financially, physically, and emotionally. It has also impacted my confidence and daily life. I understand that every surgical procedure carries risks and that outcomes can vary. However, I strongly encourage anyone considering a deep plane facelift, especially with an oral doctor , to do extensive research, seek multiple consultations, ask detailed questions, and clearly document all expectations before moving forward. Do not rely solely on online presence, social media IG, FB...or initial consultation impressions. Take your time and make sure you fully understand who you are trusting with your face.

Dr. Hamrah Gave Me My Life Back -- Truly the Best…read more I'm 50 years old and had spent more than half my life struggling to breathe. I saw six different ENTs in Canada, underwent two failed nasal surgeries, and was repeatedly told that nothing more could be done. My left nasal passage was 100% blocked -- no airflow at all. I had given up hope that anyone could help me. Then I found Dr. Hamrah. From the first consultation, I could tell this experience would be different. He actually listened. He understood the complexity of my case, explained every step with clarity, and created a plan that addressed both function and aesthetics. I had a septoplasty and rhinoplasty with cadaver cartilage grafting -- and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. For the first time in decades, I can breathe properly. And the best part? My nose looks completely natural. Dr. Hamrah doesn't just perform surgery -- he combines technical precision with an artistic eye that delivers results tailored perfectly to your face. What also stood out was the level of care. No other provider ever gave me a proper pre- and post-op plan. Dr. Hamrah and his team operate at a standard well above what I've experienced anywhere else -- this felt like luxury medicine. From the anesthesiologist and nursing staff to the patient care coordinator and front desk, every single person treated me with professionalism, kindness, and respect. If you're considering medical tourism or feeling let down by the healthcare system like I was, I can honestly say: do it. It's worth every mile. Dr. Hamrah gave me back something I thought I had lost for good -- the ability to breathe and feel whole again. Don't wait as long as I did.
