Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would not let him operate on my little toe
Very poor. I needed a mastectomy on right side, was done. There are way too many buts, each time he touched me something went wrong, to the tune of needing 13 surgeries on the one breast alone. I went from a DDD to a D. Next side was a reduction, not much better, 11 surgeries I believe and a super duper infection caused by the nipple necrosis. Spent 40 treatments in a hyperbaric chamber in order to get the infection under control. On my first visit to that office I was shown “the book” of before and after. I knew in my gut I would never appear in that book. I was right. After the 40 treatments my reduced breast looked like a piece of clay that someone had put a fist through. I was very lucky to find another surgeon who had the expertise to fix the mess I was left with. My surgery was way in the past, but the scars and and the memories remain.

Following my mastectomy Dr. Wey performed a breast reconstruction, with augmentation of the opposite breast to achieve better symmetry. With my treatment nearly complete, my breasts are beautiful, proportional, and just the right size. In short, they are perfect for me. The best part is that I no longer feel sad when I look in the mirror. I feel like myself again, only better. Dr. Wey is an exceptional surgeon whom I highly recommend.
