Dr Dumanian is outstanding. His techniques are well documented and his surgery results are exactly what he described. He is a compassionate person, who takes the personal health of the patient into account in his treatment plan. Despite the surgical complexity, he describes his process at a level the average person can understand. We respect the work he did for my family. No doctor at other hospitals would tackle this surgery, but Dr D did a fantastic job and was humble about it.

I saw several doctors, but none of them could provide me with the kind of surgery I needed. Dr. Dumanian had integrity and modesty. His outcomes were astounding. After four years of suffering from agony and having trouble putting on clothes because of friction and not fitting into the bottoms, my way of life has been restored. He performs miracles. Dr. Dumanian is a MUST for any woman with DIEP problems. Our dreadful surgical results can only be fixed by him. Every day I give praise and gratitude to God for you.
