In the Words of Her Patients

"She is an artist."

"I went to Dr. Antony for breast reconstruction. She and her team were truly amazing! She is an artist. Before surgery, she really listened to what I wanted for an outcome and explained the post-op care. After surgery, Dr. Antony's team was very attentive and available to me 24 hours a day. I followed all the post-op care, and while I had thought it would be not easy, it turned out to be much easier than I had anticipated. Just six months out, my result is spectacular, and I would recommend her to anyone!"

"Dr. Antony is the best!"

"Simply put, Dr. Antony is the best! The process of having a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction felt incredibly isolating and frankly de-womanizing, but I couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Antony's patience, understanding, and compassion. She was down to earth, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Her balance of art and science gave me results that I couldn't be more pleased with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Antony to my family and friends."
