“Almost as if I didn’t have a mastectomy.”

I can’t say enough about Dr. Barnavon. I recently underwent a mastectomy and I was referred to three plastic surgeons. Dr. Barnavon was the last one I saw and I knew right away he was the one. He is an OCD perfectionist surgeon, which I am myself within my professional life.

He spoke my language. The results were so much more than I had expected, almost as if I didn’t have a mastectomy. I can’t thank him enough and I can’t recommend him enough. He is simply the best around!

“He is not just a great surgeon, he is also a masterful artist.”

After experiencing three capsular contractures in the same breast (post mastectomy) I switched surgeon, and found Dr Yoav Barnavon. From the very first time my husband and I met him, we were impressed with his openhearted and reassuring tone.

He took the time to listen to our concerns. He gave us several choices on which surgery we may proceed with, including the “muscle sparing latissimus flap.” In 2018 I had had a latissimus flap for the breast affected by cancer; the surgery was successful and I never developed capsular contracture on that side. We decided to proceed with the less invasive MSLF. The morning of surgery, Dr Barnavon retrieved his ‘palette’ of markers and prepared me for surgery, as he drew with fine point markers of diverse colors the painstaking details of his impending cuts.

He is not just a great surgeon, he is also a masterful artist. My scar is now barely visible. I’m absolutely delighted, and recommend Dr. Barnavon to everyone.

“My Doctor Picasso!”

Let first start off by saying I was never in the market to have reconstruction surgery. But when faced with having a mastectomy you want to know what options are available.

I went to see 2 different plastic surgeons and almost gave up hope on ever having a normal body again. I am eternally grateful to my breast surgeon Dr. Health Wright who referred me to Dr. Barnavon’s office.
The office staff were friendly but smart I never had to repeat any information once told they got it! Now that’s a real concept hire people that actually know what they are doing. Each staff member has a specific task so you are not ever given half information or told I don’t know.

Dr. Barnavon explain the traditional options and was comfortable with an immediate implant which was something no other surgeon was even willing to consider. He also had an option that would use my own fat tissue with minimal invasion. I felt he was not only skilled but artfully talented. I have now nicknamed him my Dr. Picasso. He give me hope and desire to move forward with my mastectomy knowing my Picasso would be stepping in to save the day making me whole and beautiful again.

“Dr. Barnavon came up with unique solutions that no other plastic surgery centers had.”

I have been completely satisfied with Dr. Barnavon and his staff. I had a previous experience with a plastic surgery office and was very unsatisfied. Dr. Barnavon came up with unique solutions that no other plastic surgery centers had. Not only were they unique but also very effective. I am happier with my results than I ever imagined. I am a year and half post op and I am still very happy.

Dr. Barnavon is extremely professional and his bed side manner is excellent. I did my homework and had consults with 15 surgeons before deciding on Dr. Barnavon.

“I would highly recommend Dr. Buckley.”

Dr. Buckley provided an exceptional experience during my breast reconstruction following a mastectomy. From the initial consultation, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise. I came in with a lot of uncertainty, and she immediately helped ease my concerns by taking the time to thoroughly explain the process and answer all of my questions.

Her office staff is equally impressive—organized, supportive, and very attentive, which made the entire experience much smoother during a difficult time.

On the day of surgery, Dr. Buckley personally checked in with me beforehand, offering reassurance and confidence that I was in capable hands. Post-operatively, she continued that same level of care. The morning after surgery, I was feeling overwhelmed emotionally, and she handled it with such patience and empathy. She walked me through recovery expectations and even discussed additional options if I was not satisfied with the outcome.

I am extremely pleased with my results and grateful for her surgical skill and compassionate approach. I would highly recommend Dr. Buckley to any patient considering reconstructive surgery.

“I would highly recommend Dr. Buckley.”

I wanted to come back and leave a follow-up review now that it has been a little over six weeks since my surgery. Dr. Buckley has seen me for three follow-up appointments and has been consistently attentive to my needs throughout my recovery. She has provided detailed guidance on the healing process and always takes the time to ask if there is anything additional she can do to support my healing journey.

As I mentioned in my initial review, I am extremely pleased with my results and deeply grateful for her surgical expertise, compassionate care, and dedication to her patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Buckley to anyone considering reconstructive surgery.

“She has a way of making you feel genuinely cared for, not rushed or overlooked.”

Dr. Alexis Buckley is truly exceptional, and my experience with her and the entire team at Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida has been nothing short of outstanding.

From the very first consultation, Dr. Buckley took her time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, making sure I felt informed, comfortable, and completely at ease. Her warmth and bedside manner immediately stood out. She has a way of making you feel genuinely cared for, not rushed or overlooked.

During my procedure, she was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, ensuring I was comfortable and calm the entire time. It was clear that she had considered every detail to make the experience not just tolerable, but truly comfortable. That level of care is rare.

What impressed me even more is her skill and artistry. I had a scar from a previous procedure with another provider that I believed I would have to live with indefinitely. Even now, just after having my stitches removed, the improvement is already remarkable. I can confidently say that Dr. Buckley is not only a highly trained professional, but also a true artist in her field.

It’s also worth mentioning that the excellence extends beyond Dr. Buckley. The entire office—from the front desk staff to the nurses—is exceptional. You can tell this practice is very intentional about who they bring onto their team, and it shows in every interaction.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Buckley and this office to anyone considering plastic surgery. You will be in incredibly capable, caring hands.
