Dr. Rossi's Patients Speak: Read the Reviews

First, let me start off by saying this may be the third review I've ever left in my life. I'm compelled to write one because not only is Dr. Rossi an amazing surgeon and person, my results are far beyond my expectations!! I was referred to Dr. Rossi by a friend, after she knew I had already received several consultations in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I live. She asked me to please just come and see him, that he was amazing! I had already decided on a surgeon in Arizona, but I said I would go anyways.

From the moment the consultation started, I knew there was something different and unique about Dr. Rossi. He has such a unique approach, one that no one else had spoken to me about. His attention to detail is impeccable and he truly treats each patient individually, there is not a one size fits all with him! By the time we were done, the decision was made, I wanted Dr. Rossi to be my surgeon for a full mommy makeover, lift, implants, tummy, and lipo. My husband met Dr. Rossi the day before my surgery.

My husband thought I was crazy for going to San Diego for surgery. After we all met, I asked my husband what he thought, and he said, "I love him, I want him to do something to me!! I am so happy he is doing your surgery and I feel so comfortable with him." (Surgery FREAKS my husband out!!). My results are amazing-like Dr. Rossi told me, trust in the process and I have never questioned that. At any time during the entire process, Dr. Rossi was always available to answer ANY questions I had! As time goes on, it just looks better and better!! I would highly recommend Dr. Rossi to anyone, believe me, he is the best!!!

I'm a mother of a sweet little 5-year-old boy. When he turned 1, I realized my body wasn't like it used to be so I vowed to myself that I would get in the best shape of my life, and I did.

I worked out consistently and learned about nutrition. I finally had the body I always dreamed of, except my breasts did not match my body. I could work out any body part to get it how I wanted, except my chest. I didn't feel proportionate, and it felt like an aspect of my femininity was gone.

I finally took the jump to start the process of learning more about breast augmentation. I went to 5 previous consults until visiting Dr. Rossi. His consult was very different than any other consult I've been to. He wanted to know about me and who I was. He then gave me the opportunity to learn who he was as a person. This was such a great experience as I'm trusting my body in the hands of a stranger, so it allowed me to trust Dr. Rossi completely as he got to know me and essentially earned my trust.

After we got to know one another, he THEN examined me and told me about his vision for my procedure and it was exactly what I wanted. It was like he entered my brain and extracted the exact vision I've been dreaming of for years.

I knew at that moment that he was my guy :)

From there I scheduled my procedure and the flow from scheduling to post-ops were in alignment. Everything went seamlessly and perfectly. I couldn't be happier with my results. I genuinely loved everyone I came in contact with at his office. They truly care about their patients and make them feel welcomed, loved, and most importantly, like family.

I wish there were 100 stars because that's how many Dr. Rossi deserves. I'm so so so happy with my results and they are natural and fit my frame PERFECTLY! I would do this surgery a million times again if I got this result every time.

As a medical clinical specialist myself, I spend a CONSIDERABLE amount of time with physicians. Dr. Rossi is honestly one of the most considerate and empathic physicians I have ever come across. These attributes, along with his surgical precision, artistic eye, and progressive nature made choosing him to do preform my breast lift, implant revision and liposuction one of the easiest decisions I have made in a long time. My only regret is that I did not find him and have my surgery done sooner.

Should you choose to schedule a consult with Dr. Rossi, you will find him to be incredibly thorough about your wishes and expectations. One of the most outstanding (and unique) qualities is that he really looks at YOU and your whole body. He explained to me that he spends hours the evening prior to your surgery carefully studying your "before" photos and countless measurements taken to create and visualize your entire surgical procedure and outcome. That is not just a fantastic surgeon, but a true artist.

I could go on and on, but I will summarize by saying that I am EXTRAORDINARILY thrilled with the results. I have not felt this comfortable and confident in my own skin since my early 20's. Oh - one more thing! I traveled from CO to have Dr. Rossi do my consult, pre-op, surgery, and post-ops. He is worth the distance!
