As a micro vascular plastic surgeon he did an amazing job reconstructing my 2 breasts from belly fat tissue. However, he is NOT a cosmetic surgeon. I needed some revision and naturally went back to him. This is not his forte! Consult with a COSMETIC surgeon for revisions!

I went to my post ok appt. With Dr. Bonawitz 1 week post op. Even tho my drains were putting out 40-50 cc's he wanted to take them out. The last drain he was pulling and pulling. The drain snapped in 1/2 therefore leaving part of it in my body. He sent me home with an antibiotic. I woke up that night in extreme pain. My mascectomied breast was the size of a cantaloupe. So infected. Had to have a 2nd surgery to remove drain. Now I have an infection that will take months to heal.

His office is a scheduling nightmare. Worst I've ever experienced. Plan to have your surgery date changed with no warning, and your other appointments changed with very little notice. I only found out my surgery date changed when I called to confirm it. Having cancer is challenging enough without the stress of poor communication and frustration with his office. Do yourself a favor and find a different surgeon.

I have never been seen a doctor that was so ignorate. I went to this toolbag seeking information on a breast reduction. He asked me two questions "what size I am? What size I see myself?" After I answered he went on for 30 minutes about how my bmi is too high and he doesn't touch patients over 35 bmi. Told me to get a second opinion and a consult with the bariatrics. I left in tears so embarrassed. Maybe he should have his appointments screened better. I will NEVER recommend this so called dr.

My bilateral diep flap was done in Phila at HUP where I had a mediocre to poor result. Plus, the surgeons there lied to me several times.I went to Dr. Bonawitz in Cooper Univ. Hospital for 2 revisions. The fat grafting didn't work 100%, but there is an improvement. I have never met such a caring, physician who spends as much time as is needed and NEVER has one foot out the door. He is truly exceptional.

Dr. Bonawitz is fantastic. He did a Diep flap reconstruction of my breast at the time of my mastectomy. I had several fantastic appointments prior to the surgery with him to completely understand this complex procedure and then spent quite a bit of time with him post surgery. He has been there for me throughout my recovery process. His medical skills are superb – my new press saw fantastic – and he is also an extremely caring and compassionate dr!

Never in my life have I been talked down to by a doctor. After going through a double mastectomy with reconstruction for cancer along with Chemo. I went to see the doctor for a revision. I was told I need to worry more about my weight and less about my breast. I was told by the doctor himself that I would be dead in 10 years if I don't fix my weight and that he would never put me under with my BMI. I was appalled by his statement. It's not like I'm 600 pounds.
