A Plastic Surgeon Committed to Patient Care

A: He's kind. He's compassionate. He's caring. He really cares about his patients. He makes time for his patients. B: He normalized the process for me and made me feel very comfortable. Doctor: My name is Doctor Oren Lerman. I am a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. I'm Manhattan's Upper East Side at 77th Street and Park Avenue. I specialize in reconstructive breast surgery and cosmetic surgery of the face and body. As a full-time faculty member at Lenox Hill Hospital, I direct the breast reconstruction efforts at the Institute for Comprehensive Breast Care. There's nothing better than having a patient who is happy with their result after cosmetic surgery. The one thing that is most important when we're doing cosmetic surgery and aesthetic surgery of the face or the body is to make sure that the patient is happy afterwards because ultimately it's only the patient matters. C: He doesn't ever trivialize anything and you feel like he's really respectful of your choices and he's never pushy about anything. So, that was huge. D: He embodies the characterization. At least that I would want in my plastic surgeon. Doctor: I actually feel really good whenever we can make somebody look beautiful or make somebody feel good about the way they look after their surgery and they can go on with their lives feeling like they are back to their normal selves. E: Dr. Lerman is a very warm and very caring person and I just loved being his patient. F: I actually saw a couple other surgeons and Dr. Lerman was my husband and my only choice. G: I love Dr. Lerman. I really enjoy working for him. I think that what really moves me about him is just how he is such an advocate for his patients. Doctor: As long as the patient is happy then you can be satisfied with your work and it is very fulfilling when a patient comes back to me afterwards and they tell me how happy they are with the results of surgery.
