Seriously the best. I had been in communication with my primary care physician, my OBGYN, and my chiropractor for years (2016-2021) about back and shoulder pain due to breast size. Being that I had wanted to have children, we came up with a plan for pain management, which included weight training (to strengthen back, shoulder, and core muscles), chiropractic care, and massage/stretching. After having my second child and losing my baby weight, I was 140lbs (5'6") and a 32K bra size. I researched surgeons in my area and visited 5 different offices in the DMV. I didn't feel like any of them cared to listen to me after I asked about insurance. Feeling a bit discouraged, I asked by OBGYN for advice and she recommended I reach out to Dr. Gottlieb. I scheduled a consultation with her and immediately felt comfortable. She listened and asked questions, and came across very genuine and understanding. She was also extremely knowledgable about insurance and how to go about getting the procedure covered. On the day of surgery, she was on-time, walked through everything with me, and made sure post-operative care methods were communicated thoroughly to me and my husband. I've had several follow-ups with her since then (surgery was December 2021), and am about to have my last follow-up here in a couple of weeks (August 2022). I healed really nicely, scars are very light, and sitting at a 32D: I no longer have back, neck and shoulder pain, my posture has significantly improved, I can run/exercise without chaffing/pain/discomfort or having to wear multiple bras, and I can actually shop for bras at normal stores. This was a life-changing procedure for me, and I trusted Dr. Gottlieb. I am so grateful for her care, her communication, and how she was empathetic to my situation rather than shrugging it off.

I would 100% recommend her to anyone in the same position as me, and cannot express enough how thankful I am that I met her.
