"Dr. Tandon Was Amazing" Reviews from Our Patients
Kate Leggio

I met with Dr. Tandon 4 days post a chemo treatment to discuss breast reconstruction options. I was not looking my best (bald, glass, bags under my eyes, and sweatpants) so I walked in feeling self conscious. Dr. Tandon was amazing. He took his time explaining everything and what he thought was best options for me. He made me feel confident and beautiful on a day I felt the worst. I cannot wait to see my results in a few months!

It can be very overwhelming! Dr. Tandon is patient, compassionate, knowledgeable and most importantly, extremely skilled in performing a variety of reconstruction procedures...

"Dr. Tandon Never Let Me Doubt
That I Could Make It Through"
Adrienne Thomas

Dr. Tandon's skill rebuilt my body after my cancer surgery, but his caring and compassionate (and humorous) attitude kept my outlook on life on track. I have never been a negative person, but cancer can make you question so much. Dr. Tandon never let me doubt that i could make it through. I would recommend him to everyone who is facing my situation, or who wants a physician who really cares about the total you. Thank you, Dr. Tandon, for everything!

A frightening diagnosis of Breast Cancer was my first visit with Dr. Tandon. His consult was extremely thorough, unhurried and his compassion - obvious. Little did I know, at that first visit, that I was seated across from the surgeon who would make the most difficult time of my life much more than manageable. Dr. Ravi Tandon is highly skilled and his training extensive. His Nipple Sparing Bilat Reconstruction, in my case, far exceeded even my own expectations, as it is now impossible to tell that there was breast surgery...
View On GoogleUnderstanding Your Insurance Options
Whether you undergo breast reconstruction immediately after a mastectomy or years later, your procedure should be covered by your health insurance. The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA) requires group health plans that pay for a mastectomy to cover reconstructive surgery and any procedures you may need to restore the balance between the breasts. We can assist you through the process should you have questions.
