Breast Reconstruction Testimonial

On September 1, 2006, I was faced with having to have a double mastectomy and all that entails. I was unable to have reconstructive surgery at the time due to my oncologists request, which made the diagnosis even harder to accept, but I did..

I am now a breast cancer survivor and very proud to say that. It is now 2009, and my youngest daughter is getting married in September and I wanted to look the best I could for her and myself..

I finally decided to get a consultation regarding the reconstruction process. I had not made a decision yet if I wanted to put myself through another surgery. Dr. Christine Kelly walked into the exam room and after speaking to her for just a few minutes, I knew she was the kind of doctor I needed to take me through this next step in my healing process. I knew from the very beginning that I was not just another patient on her schedule. She talked to me like I was someone who had been thru a lot and she truly wanted to help me look better and feel better both physically and mentally.

Every time I would go in to see Dr. Kelly, I would thank her from the bottom of my heart with tears in my eyes, and when I looked at her, she also had tears in her eyes and would give me a big hug. Dr. Christine Kelly is not just another plastic surgeon, she truly cares about her patients and their outcomes and she shows that so openly with her kindness and professionalism.

I will never be able to thank Dr. Kelly enough for what she has done for me.

I will now walk down the aisle at my daughter's wedding with my shoulders pulled back and my head held up high because now I am ready both mentally and physically to enter another new chapter in my life, and I am so excited about that.

Thank you so much Dr. Kelly, you truly are one in a million.

Sincerely,

L
