Sepehr Egrari Plastic Surgeon MD, FACS, PC

Dr. Egrari is tops in his field. I'd seen his pictures, know quite a few of his post op patient and my only question was where was I going to get the money to let this artist work his magic on me. I scheduled my surgery before I left his office after my consultation. That was in July - it's now November and I'm freshly post op and LOVING the results. I had my abdomniplasty on Nov. 14th and it's now 10 days later and I love my new tummy!! Dr. Egrari did his usual top notch job and I'm healing rapidly. I've had no pain - from recovery room on. Scratch that, I did have some pain but it's involved coughing and sneezing and is only momentary. My incisions are nearly invisible ALREADY and I really can't hardly wait for these drains to come out. I suppose they are better than all this stuff just sitting inside of me...but GROSS, I hate these drains!! It's now been 6 months - I look fantastic - thank you Dr. Egrari!!

He seemed expensive to me, but from the after pictures he is a real artist. I have heard nothing negative about him, and he is willing to speak at our support group meetings.

I have never been treated with more respect by a Physician than I was by Dr. Egrari and his staff.

Dr. Egrari is an INCREDIBLE plastic surgeon! I have seen five of his patients who each had WLS and then had reconstructive surgery with him... all of them looked incredible. He is an artist, and he is VERY sensitive to the needs and aspirations of the formerly MO.<p>He has been very positive at every step of the way, and has developed a great protocol for WLS folks... office visits at 33% excess weight loss, 66% excess weight loss, then surgery at 85-90% excess weight loss. He feels that having a few pounds more to lose AFTER the reconstructive surgery results in a more natural appearance, and I totally agree based on his results.<p>His website is very informative and includes some before and after photos. His office staff is SECOND TO NONE. They handle everything, remember who you are, and even recognize your voice on the phone! All surgeons should take lessons from these folks.<p>Dr. Egrari's office is considering no longer accepting many insurance plans; it seems too many plans are issuing pre-approvals for reconstructive abdominoplasty and then fighting payment tooth-and-nail, wasting lots of office time. That's really a drag... but the insurance companies don't pay very well either... his fee for a 4 hour surgery ended up being about $800 in one case... I would pay him more out of my pocket for the kind of results he delivers! Even though his services are priced in the middle of the range for our area, not accepting some of the major insurance plans <i>will</i> price him out of the range of some folks... but in our support group, we encourage people to save their extra grocery and eating-out money for 6-9 months and then pay for their abdominoplasty with that... I've certainly saved enough! :-)<p>Dr. Egrari's aftercare program is faily structured and includes a good schedule of office visits. His printed materials are offered at useful times and are better than most I've seen, both in depth and accuracy. I know personally of one case where he opened his office at 10:30 pm and brought in two of his assistants to assist a patient with a painful but not life-threatening blood clot under the skin. <p><b>Dr. Egrari is as good as GOLD and I can't wait to have my surgery with him!!</b>

Dr. Egrari is a fantastic surgeon, and a caring person. He has real sensitivity to the concerns of MO folks and is fantastic at keeping your pride intact and rebuilding your positive body image. I know six people that have used this surgeon; I have seen their naked before and after photos and often in person, and the results are just stunning. I will be using myself in May 2002.
