MY PERSONAL REVIEW |
|
|
Dr. Engler immediately made me feel comfortable.
I'd put off dealing with the lipoma in my right shoulder for almost ten years, but it had grown to the size of a tennis ball (they always get worse!) and I finally had to do something about it. I shopped a few other doctors, and even had a consultation with one, but was shocked by how expensive the procedure was. That's when I found Dr. Engler, and I couldn't be happier with my experience.
Every interaction - from the consultation and exam, to the procedure, then finally the post-op check-up - was top-notch. He discussed my lipoma candidly and offered me information on all the options available. I opted for a local anesthetic and removal, and it went off without a hitch. He kept me calm during the procedure (I feint when I get blood drawn) and I'm thrilled with the results.
What I didn't expect was the level of post-op care. He prescribed meds to help me recover, and managed the drainage of the wound by coming in on a day off so I'd be more comfortable on the weekend! I felt more cared for during the two weeks after the surgery than before if that's even possible. It was a real relief.
It's been two months now since my operation and I feel fantastic. The scarring is tiny (two pinpricks on the top and bottom of the area) and I forget sometimes that I ever had anything there.
I wish I hadn't waited so long to get my lipoma removed. It's easy, safe, and Dr. Engler gave me a more than fair price. I won't hesitate to come to him with any future surgical needs.
Dr. Engler is the clear choice for lipoma removal in New York City.
