Dr Fracol was nothing short of an artist with the best bedside manner, making me feel that she truly cares about me and my results. I think Dr Fracol is very humble, soft spoken and not a show off plastic surgeon. The professionalism shown, caring nature, talent, skill and confidence makes Dr Fracol someone I can confidently recommend to friends and family and would return to in the future. Her nurse Veronica and her scheduling coordinator Elma were awesome too!

I was there for a consult for breast reconstruction post double mastectomy. Dr. Fracol was incredibly warm and empathetic. This is not the case with all plastic surgeons. I was emotional and scared, being just a week or so out from a cancer diagnosis. She walked me through the options and answered questions, and I felt like she would have taken all the time I needed during the appointment. She also offered up a follow up telehealth or in person consult if I had more questions or concerns. I couldn't have asked for anything else.

Dr. Fracol is the best. A year ago I learned unexpectedly that I needed additional surgery. I am so happy that I picked Dr. Fracol to be my surgeon. She is kind, caring, supportive and very talented. All of my questions and concerns were always addressed. I received a prompt response even when calling after hours. I have worked closely with her over the past year and know that I received the very best care. Everyone on her team is wonderful!

I had other cosmetic surgeons for my original mastectomy reconstruction in the past. They were decent people and I have no complaints about them. However, I did not know about the reconstruction options that I was given by Dr. Fracol. I wished I had done my mastectomy and reconstruction at Northwestern after meeting Dr. Fracol. She did not make me feel rushed and I feel really happy about the goals we set. I feel like she explored all options and we were able to decide what worked best for my lifestyle. I couldn't be happier. I feel like my care was personalized and I am excited for the surgery.
