Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Augmentation

"I have been a professional model in Los Angeles, CA since I was 14. My success in modeling depends on how I look. After having two children and breastfeeding, I was concerned about how well the clothes would look on me. I went to see Dr. Allen Gabriel to consult with him about breast augmentation. After talking to him, I felt extremely comfortable with my decision to proceed. He was very professional, knowledgeable and caring. He answered all of my questions. After the surgery, I looked even better than I had anticipated. Thank you Dr. Gabriel for the confidence I now have in the way I look and feel about myself again!"

Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Reconstruction

To express my feelings of thankfulness would take a whole ream of paper. My health has always been a struggle, making me a pinball being bounced from doctor to doctor. After having two difficult pregnancies and a hysterectomy at the age of 26, feeling like a women was practically impossible. My self-assurance about my body was shot. To add to the struggle, a second breast lump appeared at age 30-the first one was at the age of 20. I had lost all hope. My daily struggle with self-esteem was affecting my relationships with the ones I love. Then I met Dr. Gabriel and my hope was immediately renewed. From the first moment we met until now, Dr. Gabriel made me feel like a special person, not just another patient chart in a hospital gown. The thought of going through such invasive surgeries made me more nervous than I have ever felt. All of Dr. Gabriel's reassurance helped me breathe with the greatest of ease. His knowledge of modern methods made the mastectomy practically painless. After all was done, and even throughout, I feel I can look in the mirror and actually feel like a women again. My self-esteem has been renewed, making relationships with my loved ones renewed. I thank Dr. Gabriel and his team for their kindness and compassion. Their patience and understanding is truly a gift from God.

To all those women out there with reservations and fears about your womanly bodies, your fears can be calmed. Bringing back the woman you know in your heart you can be. Dr. Gabriel, Rachel and Shelby have the knowledge and compassion to bring that woman from your heart to the surface.

Testimonial for Procedure: Body Lift

"My very first consultation for a body lift with Dr. Gabriel was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. I had just lost 240 pounds and needed reconstructive surgery to remove the loose skin. After talking with him, I knew I was in good hands and he was the right person for me. Dr. Gabriel's level of knowledge and excitement about the weight I had lost and what I was about to do was amazing. What I liked most was that he was very confident and I could tell he was going to get me looking my absolute best. He answered every question and concern I had. And, after the surgery I stayed in Southwest's Firstenburg Tower and it was incredible! It was the most comfortable and relaxing place to recover after a major surgery.

The results from my body lift were nothing short of jaw dropping. It turned out better than I ever imagined. I feel like a new person and I look like one too. I have complete trust in Dr Gabriel. After the body lift I had two more surgeries: one on my upper chest and the other on my back. I look and feel amazing. At each of my follow up appointments, I am always well taken care of and put at ease by his staff - Rachel and Shelby. They always make me feel at home and go above and beyond for me. Dr Gabriel helped me get my life back. I have a new found confidence in my life and in my appearance! Thank you!"

Testimonial for Procedure: Cosmetic Surgery

Both my husband and I want to convey our appreciation for the outstanding treatment I received during my stay following surgery with Dr. Gabriel. Throughout my three-day stay on the eighth floor, I was treated with the utmost respect and was provided the ultimate in professional care. The staff went beyond necessary measures to ensure my stay there was as comfortable as possible. My caregivers nearly rendered the "call" button obsolete by anticipating my every need. Prompt response to all requests was the norm for me and my visitors. If it is possible for a stay in the hospital to be pleasurable, it would be accomplished on the eighth floor of the Firstenburg Tower.
