PRMA was recommended to me by my Oncologist. I couldn’t be happier by my results and the level of service I received while in their care. Dr. Arishita is my saving grace. He gave me the opportunity to experience normalcy and a sense of self-worth again. I never thought I would look or feel normal again after my surgeries but Dr. Arishita made it possible for me to live my best life going forward. I’m amazed by the work he does. PRMA has gained a positive reputation for a reason, now I understand why. Thank you PRMA for giving me life! I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you.

I have a great professional team since I was diagnosed with breast cancer type 3. Dr. Arishita and the PRMA team are wonderful. I had a Lat flab on my right side on March 2 2020 after my chemo, mastectomies, and radiation. I’m so grateful for him that really, there are no words to express, his professionalism and the way he cares for his patients. Forever grateful.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, I started researching reconstruction options but had no idea who to use. Living in west Texas, I didn’t have many options so I used the advice of my radiologist and made an appointment with General Surgeons Assoc who then recommended PRMA for the reconstruction I wanted. I met with Dr Gary Arishita and breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone there from the receptionist through the rest of the staff are so welcoming, comforting and capable. The details they insist on seem onerous sometimes but they have reconstruction down to an art and these details are what I believe make the difference in their results. I have a friend who had the same surgery in a big hospital in the DFW area, but didn’t have to do all the little things both in the hospital and at home before and after surgery – she was relieved about that, however one of the breast reconstructions did not “take” and the tissue actually died. I believe completely if you choose these doctors and follow their directions faithfully, you will have great results.

PRMA, I was scared going in but once I sat down with Dr. Arishita, he explained the procedure . I felt a lot better with my decision.. Surgery went well, they made sure I didn’t wake up with major pain. I was excited that my incisions looked great. They did a remarkable job on me. PRMA, is the BEST!! I highly recommend PRMA,I promise you won’t regret your decision. They are the best at what they do. awesome, excellent years of experience!

Absolutely the best experience from the initial consultation, Phase 1 and Phase 2 surgeries. My surgeon was Dr. Gary Arishita and he is very professional but also has a wonderful way of listening and made me feel like I was his only patient every time I saw him. I am very happy with my results and the care I received. Highly recommend PRMA to everyone facing making any decision of this magnitude.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gary Arishita, along with his nurses and all of the other PRMA employees. Of the three doctors (surgical oncologist, medical oncologist and plastic surgeon) on my team, Dr. Arishita was the one who seemed to care most about my long-term well-being. And while I was not as concerned with the aesthetics of my reconstruction as he was, I’m so grateful for the outcome and for the fact that he is a perfectionist.

For women that are afraid or going through difficult decisions about what to do in regards to breast reconstruction, PRMA should be your only choice. I had breast cancer and had both breast removed. PRMA was the best decision I made. They not only take very good care of you but they leave you feeling better about yourself. I strongly recommend PRMA for every women needing breast reconstruction.

As a 35 year old single mom, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Needless to say, I was shocked and terrified. Thankfully, I have a good friend who had been through this and she recommended PRMA for my reconstruction. I couldn’t be happier. Everyone in that office is a positive, kind, force of hope. I firmly believe there is no better place or group of surgeons to trust with your care. Awesome, awesome family of healthcare providers!

Absolutely amazing. Caring, thorough, and does exceptional work. Part of the team that’s saving my moms life & treats her & her family like we were his family with the same love & attention. He puts his patients needs, feelings & fears above anything else & if his nurse Heather had a yelp I’d say the same for her. PRMA has patients from around the world because they are truly the best with good reason but when my mama walks in his office it’s like no one in this world matters but her. He offered to pray with us before surgery & visited every day in the hospital & truly cares about his patients. Love seeing his face light up with a smile because he definitely puts a smile on ours with hope & determination every time. Thank you Doctor, Heather & the PRMA team. Can’t wait to see you again & keep the healing process moving inside & out. 5 stars will never be enough. God bless you

I want to say that Dr. Arishita is an amazing surgeon and an amazing human being. The work he performed was masterful and beautiful. Cancer is scary enough, but a double mastectomy on top of that was too much to grasp. Until, I had my consult with Dr. Arishita and Heather at PRMA. The compassion, care and understanding shown to me was incredible. Dr. Arishita’s knowledge and ability to translate the complexity of the procedure to a nervous patient was so greatly appreciated and allowed me to feel confident and peaceful moving forward. I was provided with clear and detailed steps of the procedure (DIEPflap) and guided through the process until its close. No question I had was ‘too small’ or ‘silly’ as sometimes patients feel with doctors. I felt that my feelings, emotions and concerns were truly being heard and considered during the initial consultation and up to my last visit. My results are amazing! I feel beautiful! Thank you Dr. Arishita! Thank you also Heather and everyone I encountered at PRMA!

I consider myself extremely lucky to have been referred to PRMA. Everyone in the office is very patient, friendly and professional. Dr. Ashirita and his nurse Heather have been nothing short of amazing. I am a nervous patient by nature but have never been made to feel as though I am taking up too much of their time. Every procedure is fully explained, every question is answered, and all with the utmost of patience and professionalism. I would recommend PRMA without hesitation, but more specifically I would recommend Dr. Ashirita and Heather for anyone who finds themselves in need of reconstructive surgery.

I had no idea when I started this breast cancer journey 19 months ago how it would turn out. I had never heard of tissue reconstruction. I just figured I would be disfigured and would have to deal with silicone the rest of my life and then I was introduced to Dr. Gary Arishita, Heather and the staff at PRMA! What an experience I have had! I HIGHLY recommend this team as ‘par excellent’…they are caring, professional and just good at what they do! Not only did I find an amazing staff, I found friends at a very trying time in my life.

He is an amazing surgeon with great bedside manner. 6 weeks post op and my incisions are beautiful, I can’t imagine what they will look like in one year, five years. His nurse, Heather, has been fabulous as well. I look better than I did before cancer and I have Dr. Arishita to thank for that.

I started my reconstructive surgery with an expander put in when I had my mastectomy. A month later my primary doctor sent me for an mri for a problem I was having with my right shoulder. Because of the medal in the expander the mri burnt me from the inside out. I got a real bad infection and the expander had to be removed. When I was healed and ready for reconstruction I found out there was no one in town that could do the surgery I needed. I was first sent to MD Anderson which told me the recovery would be to hard for someone my age and would not do it. I then went to PRMA and had the surgery. That was six weeks ago and I am feeling great and doing most everything I normally do. Thank you all at PRMA

Before coming to PRMA, I had had a preventative bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction with allederm and implants. What was supposed to be 1 surgery turned into 5 surgeries in an 18 month period! I hated the results, was always uncomfortable and was in quite a bit of pain. I first went to Dr. Arishita for a consult. I thought he would just tell me that with a bit of tweaking things would be a slight bit better. When he told me the list of things that were wrong, it validated my thinking and then some. His office staff took care of all of my insurance filings! I am thrilled with my results!!

Dr Arishita did DIEP Flap reconstruction of my left breast in 2015. 17 years previously I had a lumpectomy and radiation but the cancer returned. Dr Arishita was the only plastic surgeon I consulted who was willing to do the reconstruction with radiated skin involved. There were no complications and I got a new breast that looks and feels just like my other non cancerous breast. With this procedure, there is no longer a need to fear mastectomy so much. I would definitely have chosen this over the lumpectomy if it had it had been available at the time. Dr Arishita is an artist in breast reconstruction! He and his staff are very compassionate and professional.

I only can say I look and feel fantastic. Dr Arishita did a fantastic job. He was very kind and caring. I especially like the fact when I told him that pain pills make me itch, he listened and made sure I didn’t have a problem. He nurse Heather is fantastic also. Whenever I had a question it never went unanswered for long. All I can say if you want the best you need to use PRMA. It is worth the travel.

I traveled from Kansas and Dr. Arishta completed my DIEP procedure. For a working Mom that was worn out from chemo, radiation and things gone wrong for 15 months of breast cancer, Dr. Arishta was able to make me feel like I wasn’t the patient and that we were going to fix what cancer had ruined! He made sure he handled every concern I had no matter how small! With both phase 1 and phase 2, he took notes on small issues that made me unhappy even though they were so insignificant compared to the huge surgery he was doing! My follow-up visit came with questions related to how he handled my concerns! I woke up from phase1 instantly knowing the cording had been removed from under my arm and an annoying stitch from my mastectomy had been taken out! Both pretty minor compared to the overall diep but nonetheless issues that were big to me. In addition he always kept in mind that I had traveled a long distance and had three boys at home. I was so appreciative that he was always ready to let me get home!

I went to PRMA in February 2014 for reconstruction after a disastrous experience with a double mastectomy in California. It took me a year to recover from a terrible infection given to me by UC Davis. I spent that year in and out of the hospital. Many surgeries and very little faith in the doctors. When I finally healed I knew I wanted reconstruction and so I started researching my options. I was most interested in using my own tissue so Diep Flap was my first choice. PRMA did such a beautiful job on my body but probably more importantly on my self esteem. I felt mutilated before the Diep Flap surgery. Dr. Gary Arishita was my surgeon and I am most grateful for what he did for me. I think of him as a artist, my restorer, my personal healer. Anyone considering reconstruction I would strongly recommend you look into this facility. They helped me get back to feeling whole and complete.

I retired after 30 years in the medical field where some of my specialties were mammograms, stereotactic biopsy and working with cancer patients. There have been a lot of changes in the medical field in the last 40 years and we are lucky to have the choice of options. I had early stage of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ cancer. I did not want radiation therapy nor did I want to think about the possibility of cancer developing in the other breast. Therefore, I chose to have the Bilateral Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with immediate DIEP Flap reconstruction. My surgery experience and outcome were truly amazing. Dr. Gary A. and his staff were very professional and friendly. They patiently answered all of the questions my family and I had about the surgery and recovery. They prepared me for everything I would need pre and post surgery. My recovery was much faster and easier than I had imagined it would be. The surgery has made me feel like a woman who has had a tummy tuck with breast enhancement and not like a breast cancer survivor. The Methodist Hospital were Dr.Gary A. has chosen to do his surgeries was excellent. The staff was prompt, respectful and very polite. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Gary A. to as many women as possible because I want them to have the same amazing outcome as I did.
