- I cannot recommend Dr Masudi highly enough. He performed my lumpectomy and later a bilateral mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction. Throughout the entire process he was exceptionally professional, confident and supportive. I always felt I was in safe hands and that every decision was carefully considered. I am very happy with the results.
