During this time of global crisis, we are doing our part as a practice to “Flatten the Curve.” We have also taken necessary measures to conserve PPE (personal protective equipment) for our healthcare workers fighting on the front lines.
We DO NOT want individuals seeking breast reconstruction to feel they have been abandoned or left behind. Although most reconstructive procedures are currently being postponed, learning ALL your breast reconstruction options and determining the best choice for YOU is still possible. Planning ahead now ensures you will be well prepared for your reconstructive surgery once surgery scheduling returns to normal.
At PRMA, we are offering face-to-face virtual consultations with our breast reconstruction specialists. Patients can receive personalized recommendations from the safety and comfort of their homes. We understand the “in-between” time for patients waiting on breast reconstruction can be overwhelming and want to do our best to provided comfort and clarity during this time.
Despite these exceptionally difficult times, you still have the opportunity to get all the information you need to make a fully educated decision. The surgeons and staff at PRMA are available to answer your breast reconstruction questions, present you with ALL your reconstruction options, and provide you with their surgical recommendations.

Stay safe. Stay home. Do your part to flatten the curve!
