From a patient who had breast augmentation:
There seems that there are so many good things to say that I don't know just where to begin.... I originally went for my consultation a year + before my surgery. While I knew little about breast augmentation at the time, I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Zevon at that consultation. He was very helpful in describing risks, benefits and his experiences with me. He also opened a computer file with his breast augmentation before and after. His staff was also very friendly and supportive. Yet, due to my financial situation and the cost of surgery I was unable to have the operation.
A year later I was embarrassed to return to Dr. Zevon and went on numerous consultations with other plastic surgeons. I couldn't find anyone who made me feel secure in my decision though. I found that many plastic surgeons tended to be arrogant and lived by the golden rule: we don't have to sell breast augmentation it sells itself! I finally chastised myself for my foolishness about not returning to Dr. Zevon and made an appointment for another consultation. During my consultation the second time I ... had pretty much decided what I wanted and expected from my surgery. I brought a few photos to go through with Dr. Zevon. He was very helpful in explaining why I couldn't look like some of the photos, and showed me the ones I would most likely look like in the end result. He was patient as I went through my fears, concerns and most importantly size.... Dr. Zevon was so willing to work with me for my surgery that he did my surgery on day he doesn't usually do surgeries, and pushed all of his appointments back and fit me in on the very morning that I wanted. This was less than a week from the consultation! I was provided with my prescriptions, information packets and I was on my way. During the 5 or 6 days prior to surgery either the Dr. himself or someone from his staff had contacted me on numerous occasions to ask if I needed anything or just to see if any new questions had come up prior to the surgery. I felt so good about my plans for my surgery. The morning of my surgery arrived before I knew it and there I was at his office way before my scheduled surgery time. Dr. Zevon set me up in a room while we waited for his staff to arrive. He tried to make as comfortable as possible. Asking me if I wanted to lay down, read, talk..whatever! He asked if I had any questions and tried to comfort me as my nerves were running very high. He led me into the OR and I was set up and asleep before I knew it.
Dr. Zevon was so great I couldn't even begin to explain! [I] looked good even on day one! I feel that this is due to his wonderful surgery technique and experience. He called me at home on the first and second day post-op.... During my recovery Dr. Zevon was very attentive to my needs, discomforts and talked me through all of my ''issues'', it was very reassuring! He called to check in with me often. It was weird how he always would call when I was feeling my worst and he would make me feel so much better with his reassurance!
I am so very pleased with my results and with Dr. Zevon himself. I really feel that Dr. Zevon was the ONLY plastic Surgeon for me and I am so happy to have found him! Besides, what other Dr.'s would go out of their way to meet the needs of their patients? I would recommend anyone and everyone to meet with Dr. Zevon for their consultations and meet the most wonderful plastic surgeon I have ever come across!
From a patient who had breast augmentation and breast lift:
I consulted with Dr. Zevon for almost 3 hours! He was wonderful. His persona is well rounded—an intelligent, reticent fellow with a charming animated smile. He answered every one of my questions with honest detailed responses. He did not rush our consultation at all! I felt extremely comfortable with him—I could have stayed there all day! His staff was gracious and they made me feel right at home! It is important to build a rapport not only with the doctor but with his staff also. I was escorted by a very sweet assistant to an examining room where I tried on some implant sizers to get an idea of what I wanted. The PS came in and thoroughly examined me. He took before pictures of me at every angle and showed me some of his work. He was very honest with me. I showed him pictures of BA’s I liked ... and he graciously explained that I could not achieve these results because my breasts are very ptotic. He politely brought me down to reality with regard to my inane idea of the perfect breasts and told me the truth about my options- there were not too many! I also consulted with his Patient Liaison who was very informative and extremely pleasant. I am in contact with his office on a regular basis and they treat me with the utmost respect and concern. I like that! It is important to feel like a person and not a number! I met with him again to further our discussion on my procedure. Overall, it was best consultation I have ever experienced! I am very happy with Dr. Zevon!
