“I receive the best care here. At Midwest. . From the receptionist to the nurse. They care about the patients. Dr Saraswat Will be doing my surgery on Monday and I have every bit of confidence it will go great. . Thank You for making this stressful time less stressful.”
“PA Karen is exceptional at making me feel comfortable during my tissue expander fill appointments. She is compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. I completely trust MidWest Breast (Dr. Twari and PA Karen) completely with my reconstruction journey after breast cancer. Highly recommend.”
“We had a really positive experience with Dr. Tiwari and his team. The nurse was so kind and helped make a consultation that could have felt uncomfortable feel much more normal and comfortable. Dr. Tiwari was very calm, soft-spoken, and informative. He took his time with my husband and me, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel rushed. He really helped ease a lot of the nerves we had going into the appointment. We left feeling much more comfortable and reassured about everything ahead.”
“Dr. Saraswat will be performing a breast cancer reconstruction revision for me later this month. He is very friendly, and more importantly, knowledgeable. His PA was equally impressive… very down to earth and put my mind at ease. The office staff worked with my insurance company and there was no “red tape” I had to deal with. Would highly recommend this business.”
“Dr. Tiwari and his team have been terrific throughout my reconstruction surgery journey. He is a highly skilled surgeon, and his team is also very competent, compassionate, and supportive. Dr. Tiwari, along with Karin, Kaitlyn, Colleen, and Jeanette always took the time to listen and made me feel heard and cared for. I always felt confident that I was in excellent hands. I am truly grateful for the exceptional care I received from the entire team and I couldn’t be happier with the results.”
