From the moment I was diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. Mahabir and Dr. Kurtovic at Tucson Plastic…read moreSurgery took me under their wing and cared for me every step of the way. Dr. Mahabir performed my double mastectomy with direct implants flawlessly and provided exceptional care, especially during such a vulnerable time so close to finishing chemotherapy. He genuinely cares about you as a person, is very honest through the entire process, and his confidence provides a place of assurance and trust. Later, both Dr. Mahabir and Dr. Kurtović performed my DIEP flap reconstruction, and the entire process went beautifully. Dr. Kurtovic cares for her patients on the deepest levels possible- from the impeccable physical care, to the emotional, theraputic, and energy body healing. They are simply experts at what they do, and choose to always go above and beyond. As a team, there is no greater gift to the community they serve.
What makes this team so special is that they care about so much more than the surgical outcome. They truly understand the emotional and physical journey of reconnecting with your body and healing, especially after cancer. They pay attention to every single detail, listen deeply to every concern, and make you feel seen, heard, and beautiful through every stage of the process. Their care is genuine, and you can feel how deeply invested they are in each patient's healing.
Beyond their work in the operating room, their commitment to the breast cancer community is extraordinary. Through their Reblossom charity, which they run together, they provide incredible opportunities, support, and resources for people facing breast cancer. Their dedication to giving back and creating meaningful connections for survivors and those still in treatment speaks volumes about the kind of people they are.
Their office itself reflects that same level of care: it is comforting, impeccably clean, beautiful, and truly feels like a healing space. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by friendly smiles and incredible staff members that genuinely care. From the environment they've created to the way they treat you, everything feels intentional and supportive.
I also have to mention Virginia, the patient care coordinator, who is absolutely exceptional. She made every step feel organized, incredibly personal, and made me feel supported, loved, and cherished. This entire team has given me so much more than excellent surgical results- they gave me confidence, comfort, and a path back to myself after cancer. I will forever be grateful!
