Dr. Delgado and his Staff at the Novato location were absolutely professionals, but with hearts of gold and so very caring. My husband and I had a Consultation with Dr. Delgado, he was well mannered, professional and explained my procedure well enough for my Husband to feel comfortable, you see, I was having a Breast Reduction and this was very traumatic for him, I was a 42DDD and they were being reduced to a 38D. I was looking forward to having less pain in my neck and back. We than spoke with Colleen, she explained the financials and the pre-vitamin packs to start taking before your surgery, very informative. Colleen was also very professional, but personable too! She knew what she was talking about from her own experiences. I knew from day one of meeting her, I could depend on her for answers to any question, which is very helpful if the Doctor is in Surgery. Everyone in this office seemed to have had an experience of their own, well informed and they knew what they were talking about. My Surgery went well, on time, and I was on my way home. At this time my life went completely nuts, we had to move 8 days after the surgery, over 500 miles away and it was very stressful to only have a few days of rest and than pack everything up and go. The Nurse from the surgery gave my husband lessons on drainage and how to keep it sterile and measuring the fluids etc., first of all, my husband doesn't do this kind of stuff well, at least that's what I thought!! He was very gentle and did it by the book, perfection! Thanks to the Nursing staff for excellent training, my husband was a pro and all went well with those first few days. Being in the medical field myself, this was important to me, to see that I was taken care of efficiently. I saw Dr. Delgado one more time before we left too have my drains removed and that went fine, other than concern of stress and being sore, because you shouldn't be moving when you have this surgery! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU HAVE THIS SURGERY: Do NOT plan anything, you will heal faster and the pain is less!We moved and came back for a follow up visit, this time we saw the Dr. in his San Francisco Location, again a very nice Office with a smaller staff. To my surprise, with ALL the STRESS from moving, Dr. Delgado was happy to inform me that I looked ahead of schedule with my healing and the scars etc. I will be honest, my breasts scared me when I first saw them and there after for a couple of weeks, I recommend taking the vitamin supplements, it helps reduce the swelling and the bruising. It was amazing how fast the bruises were gone, take the Vitamin package, it's worth EVERY CENT!!! Give it time to heal though, I mean really, you just went under the knife, it's going to take some time and getting used to. This is why I waited to do my review, I wanted to see the results after a few mos. I had my surgery May 20, 2013, so about 4 mos. and they feel great and the scars are disappearing slowly. I just know by spring/summer of next year I will be one "HAPPY GIRL" I just love how Dr. Delgado shaped them and gave them a lift and my nipples look awesome, perfect areoles! Now, since we moved, Dr. Delgado's Office have been heaven sent and so has his Staff, even the front office gals were concerned and returned my calls promptly, the attention you get from them and concern is like no other, I love their Staff and always so cheerful. When I had questions I would call to set up an appt., because of my concerns, I thought he would need to see me. This is a bit difficult when you just moved 500 miles away. Not a problem these days, with technology, I just sent Dr. Delgado short videos or pictures for him to review. He has saved me 3 trips now, how convenient is that? Dr. Delgado has made my experience the best for my first time! I also need to add that I am so grateful to have chose this Doctor, because he cares and he has the kindest bed side manner, a concerned, thoughtful and informative professional, I would go back to him in a heart beat! Many, many thanks to ALL of you, I'm truly blessed to have fallen upon you, I made the best decision to go here.Sincerely,Ellen Spencer Read Less
