“Quick Review: It's been two years since my reconstruction surgery and I'm very happy with my new breast. Longer Review: Usually when I write a review of a business I'm really happy with, all I have to do is think for a moment and then the words just bubble out and I write them down and am done. It's pretty easy. With Peachtree Plastic Surgery and Dr. Peter Thompson I'm really happy, yes! But the effortless tapping out of a quick review? Not so easy this time. There are still too many emotions around my surgery. At the time, I felt I should just be grateful the oncology surgeon was going to do her best to keep me from dying of cancer, and any vanities about what I looked like as a woman with a rebuilt breast were thoughts I should keep to myself. Thank goodness I went to Peachtree Plastic Surgery and met Dr. Thompson and his team! They not only helped me understand my surgical options for getting my new breast, they were skilled at helping me relax and communicate in that difficult time. I do all right in writing (just wordy. Sorry.). But in conversation, I struggle in the best of times. Everyone in Dr. Thompson's office helped me understand that it was healthy to have all the different feelings I was going through. Because of their caring and knowledge, I made good choices and stayed involved with my care and interested in my recovery. This was an important surgery for me. I see this clearly now, two years later. Because after the 'not dying' part happens, it does become important to live happily and with strength and pride in one's body. I do that now, thanks to the work of Dr. Thompson. Thank you for reading this.”
“Dr. Thompson and the entire team at Peachtree Plastic Surgery deserve more than five stars! I had my breast augmentation done by Dr. Thompson, and I am absolutely in love with my results. From my very first consultation to my follow-up appointments, the level of care, professionalism, and expertise has been top-tier. Dr. Thompson took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, explained the entire process thoroughly, and made me feel completely confident and comfortable in my decision. His skill and attention to detail are truly incredible—my results exceeded all of my expectations! I also have to give a huge shoutout to the amazing staff at Peachtree Plastic Surgery. Everyone from the front desk team to the nurses was warm, attentive, and incredibly supportive throughout my entire recovery journey. They made sure all of my questions were answered and made me feel genuinely cared for every step of the way. If you are considering breast augmentation or any plastic surgery procedure, I cannot recommend Dr. Thompson and Peachtree Plastic Surgery enough. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience and results I truly love!”
“I spoke to lots of breast cancer survivors prior to getting my DMX and reconstruction and Dr. Ma's name came up more than any other. Two ladies specifically referenced her as the one who fixed the mistakes of their past doctors. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have received those recommendations! This office operates better than any I've ever experienced in a medical practice. I felt cosseted and cared for. Not only that, but she has gone through what we are going through. Her staff are incredibly kind and patient, explaining everything as many times as needed. I was so grateful for all of her nurses, but I worked most often with Marianna, who treated me like family. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Ma and her team! I hope you are as lucky!”
“Having had breast reconstruction at Emory in 2011 and just recently having had another breast surgery due to cancer along with an abdominoplasty performed by Dr. Grace Ma, I can legit compare the two experiences. Hands down, the experience at Peachtree Plastic Surgery was phenomenal from their appointment procedures, their front desk staff, the medical assistants, Dr. Ma's physician assistants to Dr. Ma, herself. Emory was very clinical and did not feel very personal. It was the exact opposite with Dr. Ma and her staff. I highly recommend this practice! I am very happy with the results of my surgery. Dr. Ma is an extremely skilled surgeon and is a genuinely nice, caring person to add on top of that! GREAT experience here all around!”
“Dr. Ma is amazing! From beginning to end she makes you feel comfortable. She is a competent, confident doctor. She did amazing work and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Highly recommend. Her team responds quickly. They are kind and supportive. The other doctors in the practice are top notch too. The entire practice is wonderful.”
