Literally as good as it gets. Dr. Chrysopoulo is a truly lovely human being overall. And he's everything you would want in a surgeon, because not only does he have wonderful bedside manner (and a great sense of humor), but he's a perfectionist. He has a fascinating training/residency background which I was unaware of until after my reconstructive surgery but it makes perfect sense, this perfectionism. Not only am I *incredibly* pleased with his work (and professional demeanor) but my oncologist, who is old school, cannot seem to stop himself from commenting at every follow-up appointment that "he sees many breasts day in-day out, and this is some of the best work I have ever seen. Please give him my compliments..." He has said this at minimum three times, even if he wants to stop himself from saying it, I don't believe he can. And I concur, there's no other surgeon I would want to operate on me, which is saying a lot because really, who wants to need a surgeon? Ultimately I feel my reconstruction was more or less pristine. The entire PRMA operation is geared towards the comfort and healing for survivors, with a focus on living beyond your diagnosis, beyond your reconstruction, and getting back to your whole self again. I couldn't appreciate him or them more. HIGHLY recommended.

My experience at PRMA and in particular with Dr. Chrysopoulo was outstanding. As a patient, it is important to feel that you are part of the process and that your voice is heard. Dr. C's listening skills are off the charts. He is honest, shows great integrity and work ethic and gently guides you through difficult decisions in the reconstruction process. He performed a delayed DIEP flap procedure on me and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. He doesn't "sugarcoat" the recovery process, which is difficult, but makes it all easy and understandable. He follows up and is genuinely concerned about your recovery. Kudos to his office staff and nurse, Denise. I will continue to advocate for women and recommend Dr. Chrysopoulo as the best micro-surgeon hands down, even if it means traveling to be his patient.
