I contacted this office to have a cyst removed. Check-in was very easy. The nurse thoroughly prepared me for the procedure and the doctor was ready to begin. He explained the procedure which was comfortable and took relatively little time. The doctor went over the post-op instructions and answered all my questions. I highly recommend this provider.

I had a very good experience at Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology. I have to give a big shout out to Dr. Fangman, my surgeon who did an amazing job on my surgery. He was precise, factual and told me how everything would go. The Staff is amazing! Front desk was cordial and very understanding! Shout out to my nurse, Holly, who was exceptional! So kind and informative and gave me directions as to what I should expect. Also Shelly who takes care of all appointments and answers any and all questions. I am very grateful and blessed to have had such professionals on my behalf. God bless each of you. My special thank you to Dr. Fangman! You are fenominal! My hero! Thank you all so very much. 🙏🏻❤️🫂

Dr. Butala is Amazing!!! This office has been so great, from my 1st call to my 1st visit. I was referred by one of Husband’s friends and truly it has been a blessing. Before this appointment I have seen 3 different Plastic Surgeons that do breast reconstruction daily, all not great experiences. I was beyond frustrated. This office was just over 1.5 hours away and honestly I was happy to drive. The office was very nice and helpful. Dr. Parag Butala, was absolutely amazing. By this appointment I had so many questions and I knew what to ask. I didn’t even have to ask any of them he addressed everything talking about breast reconstruction, he was more detailed and professional and went through every cut they would make, every scenario. Follow up, what to expect went through over vs. under the muscle and the differences. He even reached out to the breast surgeon for me. I felt very important, comfortable and confident that I found the perfect plastic surgeon for me. He spent so much time with me and every moment was so appreciated. When I left and called my husband, he could hear the relief in my voice that my mind was finally at ease. Breast Cancer is hard enough to process but finding the right team of surgeons makes it a little easier. Truly grateful!
