Testimonials

Dr. Gallas and his team of professionals are…

27 Jul 2016

Dr. Gallas and his team of professionals are exceptional in every sense of the word. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Gallas and his entire office. In my particular case, opting for plastic surgery (rhinoplasty) was a significant step and had been a longtime contemplation of mine.

Selecting my plastic surgeon was, in my mind, without question the most important decision in the entire process. In meeting Dr. Gallas, I felt an immediate connection and sense of mutual understanding. Aside from Dr. Gallas’ extensive professional qualifications and profile, I appreciated his honesty and unique approach to my procedure.

During my initial consultation, Dr. Gallas listened to my reasons for wanting a rhinoplasty, my expectations, and the present likes/dislikes of my nose. His feedback was invaluable and together we agreed on a strategy, unique to my facial anatomy, for my rhinoplasty. I went into my consultation with a set idea and I walked out with a sense of enlightenment. The emphasis that Dr. Gallas made to me about correlating natural beauty to facial harmony and proportionality made perfect sense and resonated with me so clearly.

Fast forward to now and I am (3) months post-op. Although I still have a way to go before I see the final results, I am already so happy with the improvements. Finally, I can’t conclude without mentioning Nurse Jenna as she has been an absolute essential part of my journey. I cannot express my gratitude enough for her and the role she has played in my journey.

If you are looking for a board certified plastic surgeon, my recommendation would be to do your research, meet with doctors that fit the qualifications you are looking for and trust your instincts. In my opinion and personal experience, Dr. Gallas is an exceptional plastic surgeon and I am so happy that I selected him for my rhinoplasty.

Dr. Gallas,
There aren’t strong enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you so much for being so kind to my husband and me. Thank you for checking up on me, being so involved in recovery and entertaining my every question. I am AMAZED at what an expertly perfect job you did on my lift and augmentation. Thank you for spending extra time to make them PERFECT and symmetrical. You are a true artist and the best at your field – what a craftsman! Thank you for everything. I will always feel like you and your office are family because of the beautiful gift you’ve given me. I loved my body before I met you and I’m ENTHRALLED with it now. I am free from a bra, free from padding, free from straps on my dress. This is an unexpected gift and I am eternally grateful.
PS – Thank you for seeing me the next day even though your whole office staff was off for New Years Eve. That mean alot!!!

After 4 kids, the last 2 being twins, I had to have corrective surgery done and decided to do the Mommy Makeover at the same time. I went to the four “top doctors” for a consult. In my opinion, Dr. Gallas is miles above the rest. He was the only one to really sit me down and explain everything including the possible complications of the corrective part of the surgery. He made me feel at ease, comfortable, and made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen. The fact that he is double-board-certified sealed the deal because I would have one doctor performing the complete surgery. He has a wonderful friendly staff and a beautiful location. Before kids, I would always say that I would never have unnecessary surgery. Now, a year later, I can honestly say that choosing Dr. Gallas was the best decision I made for my body and my life. If you are thinking of any type of plastic surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Gallas.

Dr. Gallas,
I just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for doing my breast reduction. I can now run comfortably and have the confidence to wear sleeveless shirts to school. Most importantly, when I play Dance Dance Revolution, I jump around and don’t fall over from centrifugal force. My confidence has gone through the roof, and my back doesn’t hurt anymore. I wish I could do more, but thank you so much for doing this for me.

Dr. Mennen Gallas,
Recently a patient responded to our patient satisfaction survey and they mentioned you by name. They wanted to let us know how you helped them while they were here. Thank you for your continued efforts to make every patient feel special and every patient experience as positive as possible.
The patient said, “Change nothing. Dr. Mennen Gallas and his nurse Sharon Stelly have been wonderful to us. What an asset to the MDACC team.”
Thank you.

When my cancer reoccurred in February 2004, Dr. Mennen Gallas was called in for plastic work. My awe and appreciation for this man is beyond words. The original flap that Dr. Gallas had put in in February had to be disturbed. We nearly lost it. Through Dr. Gallas ‘ expertise, dedication and many hours of being there for me in the operating room and constantly checking it while I was in the hospital and during my radiation, the flap was saved. When I returned to my winter home in Tucson, I had some problems with healing and Dr. Gallas suggested going to a wound care center. He has worked with my doctor here and called me to check on my progress. I feel this man has been blessed not only with knowledge and expertise in his field but a wonderful caring attitude that makes him a tremendous asset to MDACC and his patients. I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I do know I will always be grateful for MDACC and its wonderful care.
Thank you,

Dr. Gallas,
I just wanted to thank you for all you’ve done for me. I am so grateful to you for getting me in so quickly so everything could be done during the same surgery time as Dr. Schmidt’s scheduled time.
I am so very pleased with the results! I have had several (jealous) friends ask about you and I think the entire dental office will be showing up at your doorstep!
You are a great surgeon and a kind, caring man. A great combination for your profession.
I wish the best for you and your family.
Respectfully,
S. O.

Dr. Gallas,
Thank you for everything you and your office have done for me. Your patience and perseverance to every detail have given me the body I’ve always wished to have. Not to forget your attentiveness to me as a patient made me feel I was not alone.
Thank you again. Words cannot express my gratitude!

Dear Dr. Gallas
I just want you to know how much I appreciate your kindness to me last week. Whoever said that doctors were lacking in bedside manners wasn’t your patient! Again, thanks for recognizing that pain can be emotional, rather than just physical.
Regards,
N. J.

Dr. Gallas,
Thanks for my new boobs! They’re great! I appreciate your time and effort.

Summer has been great! I was by the pool for the past two weeks and never felt better. I was able to show up at the community poolside feeling great and… wearing my 2-piece swimsuit!! Dr. Gallas did wonderful work in sculpting my body and now I have my self-esteem in the summer. Dr. Gallas promised a safe and effective “tummy-tuck” procedure – it’s true. Thanks to Dr. Gallas and his team. Have a great summer! Mine is.

Dear Dr. Gallas,
I saw this in a bookstore and immediately thought of you. Although it’s been undoubtedly one of the toughest years of my life, I am so grateful that God had a hand in bringing me to your door. I can never repay you for everything you have done for me. I want you to know how grateful I am to you for your skill, your kindness and your friendship.

Dear Dr. Gallas and staff ~
What a delightful surprise to get flowers from you this morning! They truly brightened my day and lightened my heart. I don’t know anyone who can say they received flowers from their doctor!
As I‘ve stated many times, I do honestly believe God placed me in your care. For that, I’ve not only received excellent care but also lasting friendships. Thank you and God bless you.

Dear Dr. Gallas,
Many thanks for the wonderful surgery you performed on me. I could not be happier. I am so lucky to have you as my plastic surgeon.
All my thanks,

Dear Dr. Gallas
Hopefully you have received the package with the hand-painted porcelain bowl. You may take it home to your wife, if she would like it, or maybe use it in you office.
I chose to paint the “forget-me-not” flowers because I don’t want you to forget us. As we have told you on numerous occasions, you are so special to us and we will never forget you and all you did for me/us. We wish you and your wife much love and happiness.
God bless you.

Dr. Gallas
Please accept this token of my appreciation for all of your support and kindness while doing a great job in fixing someone else’s mistake. You have made it possible for me to look in the mirror and feel good about myself again. I am very pleased with your work and the added bonus of the beautiful job on my eyes. I am truly grateful for your insight and talent. You are gifted and a kind and gentle soul.
Thank you,

Dear Mrs. Diane Ladewig/MDACC,
This is to inform you that I feel better and that everything is going on well. But, above all, I wish to thank Dr. Gallas and you all for your valued assistance and kindness. All the physicians who saw me in Italy said that mine is not a “breast reduction” but a “work of art.” I thought it important to inform you of this, too. Thanks again to Dr. Gallas, Dr. Saliban and you all. I’ll remember you all forever.
