Outcomes:

My experience with Dr. Kovanda has been beyond extraordinary. He is a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plasti...c Surgery, which only 1/4 of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons had the honer of obtaining. I chose Dr. Kovanda on a limb. I first went to Dr. Kovanda after a Ear Nose and Throat doctor told me I needed surgery for a deviated septum and turbinate reduction. The surgery went great and Dr. Kovanda, although extremely busy with other surgerys, was available right away when I had questions to ask. He answered all of my phone calls, explained to me what the insurance will and will not cover and he was extremely pleasant during office visits. I would consider Dr. Kovanda almost like a friend. Three years later, I visited the same ENT who said I needed the surgery and he was shocked at how well my nose looked. His words were "Whoever did this surgery knew what they were doing, He did a great job!"

Years later, I was frustrated with my A cup and sagging breats resulting from having children so I decided to do something about it. I went to Dr. Kovanda and he told me that I would definitely benefit from implants. We went over sizes and I felt very comfortable with asking to try different sizes over and over again. The only thing I did not feel comfortble with was having a nurse in theri also. I am just very private when it comes to nudity. But the nurse did not change my decision in choosing Dr. Kovanda as my surgeon for breast Augmentation.

Not to be mistaken. I did go to 2 other surgeons about getting breast augmentation and was not greeted with half of the warmth and caring that Dr. Kovanda showed. One doctor, I believe his name was Dr. Baschiom? He was quite rude to me and answered my questions very curtly. I was not impressed at all. I felt as if I was on a time limit with this doctor.

Overall, I reccomend Dr. Kovanda for your surgical needs. He has the credentials and he is such pleasant person to work with on something that can be so personal to individuals. My mother, as well as myself, plan on working with Dr. Kovanda AGAIN in the future for our future needs.
