If you are considering Dr. Agha as your surgeon I can whole heatedly, with out any hesitation recommend him as a consumer, parent and an RN.
After searching the entire country, Dr. Agha was the surgeon of our choice for correction of a congenital breast abnormality and breast augmentation using only fat transfer for my teen daughter.
When my daughter started puberty, it was apparent she had an extreme form of asymmetry of her developing breasts. One was hypoplastic breast (non developing) and the other breast was a much larger (cup size D) tuberous breast.
I spent 2 yrs researching for the correct procedure and physician and finally found Dr. Agha. The 2 yr search was worth every minute.
From the first phone consultation to the last surgery we knew we found the right surgeon.
With a background as an RN and having gained a vast knowledge in the procedure I wanted for my daughter, I was very meticulous and scrutinizing during my consultations with the various physicians I interviewed for my daughter's forthcoming procedure.
Additionally, I needed a doctor who was willing to take a patient as young as my daughter was for the first surgery at 15. Dr. Agha fully understood the devastating effects her condition had on my daughter's psycho/social well being and how not doing the surgery would adversely effect her in the future.
After consulting other physicians and Dr. Agha, it was apparent Dr. Agha was our surgeon based on his expertise and knowledge. What sealed the deal with Dr. Agha early on was my daughter's remark after the first phone call that ""Mom he is the one"". Both my daughter and I felt so comfortable with Dr. Agha from the start.
Additionally, I can not say enough about how wonderful the support staff is. We had a few complicating matters. 1 - My daughter's condition would require a number of corrective surgeries to get to our final goal. (This was discussed from the onset.) 2 - We live across the country from Dr. Agha, and 3 - My daughter being a teen is in school and we would need to try to schedule the surgeries during school breaks.
Shireen Dr. Agha's office manager made the process of scheduling and arranging follow up appt's a breeze. Additionally, Shireen is a delight to work with. She is so warm and personable which allowed us to feel at ease with the process. Tania, another supporting office staff member along with Shireen are both professional very knowledgeable, helpful, and very competent.
Dr. Agha did such a fantastic job! Both my daughter and I are so pleased with her results. Thanks to Dr. Agha, my daughter is no longer burdened by a life filled with angst about her body. She feels better about her body, which has led to an increase in her self-esteem and her confidence.
She is thrilled she can now dress with out having to make adjustments to her clothing. Additionally, she recognizes how this experience has given her the opportunity to not only grow but to become aware of the strength she has within. Her future is now one, which is open to all possibilities and one in which she, will proceed with without any hesitation thanks to Dr. Agha.
I never would have imagined 30 yrs ago, when I wished I could take the extra fat from my hips and move it to my breasts that this type of surgery would ever really be possible. To think some 30 yrs later I would have a daughter, with the misfortune of having one hypoplastic breast and a second much larger tuberous breast, who would benefit from such an idea, is amazing. We are so fortunate to have found a great pioneer in Dr. Agha.
With much gratitude and appreciation of his fine work thank you Dr. Agha!
