Read MoreDr. Spiegel is my guardian angel and I owe her and her entire team and staff a debt of gratitude that I will ever be able to repay! I am one year out from my original DIEP flap surgery with her and I feel great, like myself again! After undergoing a prophylactic mastectomy (due to testing positive for the BRCA 2 gene and strong family cancer) and getting breast implants with another doctor, Dr. Spiegel saved my life by removing the implants and performing DEIP surgery. The implants cased me so much pain and diminished my quality of life but now I have it back. I have no more pain and my breasts are soft again and created from my very own tissue. Thank you Dr. Spiegel!

Her surgical skills are par excellent and I will not hesitate recommending her! You are in great hands and her staff is amazing! They respond immediately to concerns, questions and appointment! Definitely, a 5 star caliber surgeon!
I knew I was in good hands after my first visit with Dr. Spiegel. Her smile, her attentive staff, her medical explanations, and her sincere inquiry into my expectations and concerns all gave me confidence to choose her as my breast reconstruction surgeon. Now, I am a cancer survivor and a renewed female body survivor!
