Reviews for Houston, TX Plastic Surgeon Dr. Aldona J. Spiegel Breast Reconstruction Specialties

Five stars is not near enough to rate the exceptional talent and the caring nature of Dr Spiegel and her team. Her ability to restore a woman to their natural self is miraculous. Not only am I beyond pleased, but Dr's that I see are in awe of what she was able to accomplish with my reconstruction. More

Dr Spiegel and her team are exceptionally talented and deeply committed to their patients and their physical and emotional journey. I had full reconstruction with DIEP flap and the results are spectacular. She and her team are truly gifted with their skills and medical expertise. More

Dr. Spiegel and her wonderful staff got me through the most difficult experience of my life. Going through mastectomy and DIEP flap reconstruction is traumatic. I chose her over other Houston area surgeons and felt that I could trust her. Everyone in her office supported me each step of the way. First, and foremost, this is a major surgery and you rely on medical excellence to avoid important risks. She is a perfectionist regarding medical safety. Next, her artistry is outstanding. She got the best result that could be possible. Finally, if you have radiation, it is a long journey of several years to get from the beginning to end of the process, involving a year of a temporary expander before the final reconstruction. It is important to have a team that you can have that trusting supportive relationship over time. I feel very lucky and grateful that I was in the hands of this wonderful group of highly skilled women. More

Dr. Spiegel is my guardian angel and I owe her and her entire team and staff a debt of gratitude that I will ever be able to repay! I am one year out from my original Diep flap surgery with her and I feel great- like myself again! After undergoing a prophylactic mastectomy ( due to testing positive for the BRCA 2 gene and strong family cancer) and getting breast implants with another doctor, Dr. Spiegel saved my life by removing the implants and performing Deip surgery. The implants cased me so much pain and diminished my quality of life but now I have it back. I have no more pain and my breasts are soft again and created from my very own tissue. Thank you Dr. Spiegel! More

After being diagnosed with breast cancer only six weeks after giving birth, my life was turned upside down over night. I immediately started chemo therapy, and a few moths later I was researching reconstructive surgeons. Dr. Spiegel came highly recommended by my oncologist, and I'd later find out it was for very good reason. Not only was I welcomed very warmly by everyone in the office, Dr. Spiegel showed me such a great deal of compassion that it really helped to put my mind at ease for my upcoming surgery. It was very clear from the wealth of information on her website, her tutorial videos, and the personal attention from everyone in office - from her PA's, to the office manager to her billing specialist - that everyone there was working together, fighting together, for the absolute best experience and results for the patient. The whole process from start to finish took a holistic approach to treating the patient. I ended up getting the DIEP Flap reconstruction surgery, and I was very worried about the final results - not just the look of the breasts, but also the abdominal scar. Dr. Spiegel explained everything in great detail to me, assured me she was going to make it all look wonderful, and after just having finished the second surgery (the cosmetic phase), I am thrilled with how it all looks so far. I'm still healing, but I cannot believe how great it all already looks. Dr. Spiegel surpassed my expectations, which were already very high. She's given me back a body I'd thought I'd never have again. My breasts look like they did when I was 20, maybe even better. And while there's no getting around the fact that this type of surgery leaves a long abdominal scar, her work left a very clean, soft line. One that over time, I know will fade and blend nicely. She contoured my entire abdominal and thigh area, and used that tissue to reconstruct the breasts. It all looks incredible. She's truly an artist. I'd highly recommend her to anyone thinking about about getting this complex surgery done after a double mastectomy. Thank you Dr. Spiegel and all you amazing souls at her office. You all helped me tremendously through such a terrifying time in my life and shepherded me to the other side of it. More

I knew I was in good hands after my first visit with Dr. Spiegel. Her smile, her attentive staff, her medical explanations, and her sincere inquiry into my expectations and concerns all gave me confidence to choose her as my breast reconstruction surgeon. Now, I am a cancer survivor and a renewed female body survivor! More

Dr Spiegel and her staff are a top notch team. Always available via phone or email to answer questions regarding procedures,treatment, follow ups, and insurance. Dr Spiegel takes the time to listen to your concerns with empathy and a keen compassionate ear. The results have been incredible, and I am completely satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend this talented Doc and her staff for your reconstruction journey. Thanks for your dedication. Sincerely, SDM More

If I were to define Dr Spiegel in (1) word it would be "PERFECTION." I had a prior breast reconstruction surgery with another physician that was flawed to say the least. I made an appoint w/Dr Spiegel hoping that she could help me-she is the BEST thing that could have happened. I let her do "her magic"-- my reconstruction results are nothing less than "spectacular." I could not be more pleased w/her dedicated office staff as well. Dr Spiegel is "A GEM"-her work and bedside manner both TOP NOTCH! More

Dr. Spiegel is the epitome of a great surgeon. Skill, knowledge and bedside manner are her greatest qualities. My best friend recommended her to me when I was diagnosed in 2015. Everyone in Methodist that I went through from registration to blood work to X-ray were on cue when they saw Dr. Spiegel's name on the paperwork. I know that kind of respect is earned and because of that respect, I knew I was in the best hands. My surgery and recovery was flawless due to Dr Spiegel and her team. More

Though I already knew I would have delayed reconstruction, I first consulted with Dr. Spiegel following my initial dx of inflammatory breast cancer. Dr. Spiegel is very compassionate and I immediately felt I was in the best hands. I told my oncologist that I was consulting with her and he raved about her and called her an artist. More

This sounds crazy, but Dr. Spiegel and her staff made my breast reconstruction pleasant! She is caring first, but also professional and talented. I look better than I did before breast cancer. If you have faced breast cancer, do yourself a favor and call her office. More

I trusted Dr. Spiegel to perform breast reconstruction on both of my breasts following chemo and radiation. I have NEVER regretted that decision for one moment. She is an amazing physician with skills that are second to none. After researching my reconstruction options (type of procedure), it was crystal clear that Dr. Spiegel offered me what I was looking for...DIEP. Ladies, do yourself a favor and do your research before you decide to compromise your abdominal muscles!! One last important comment- Dr. Spiegel is a perfectionist. You will not be disappointed with the end result! More
