Erika Sato, M.D. Reviews

Satisfied with breast reduction experience, took me from a 34G to 34D This review is long overdue. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Sato. She was my surgeon for a much needed breast reduction one year ago today and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Sato was the first surgeon that I met, and even though I had two consultations scheduled with other doctors after her, I placed a deposit before leaving her office. Dr. Sato and her staff definitely pass the vibe check! She really puts you at ease. I'm pretty particular about bedside manner and attentiveness from medical providers and Dr. Sato is top tier in that area. She shared a wealth of information in the initial consultation and answered questions that I didn't even know that I had. I was incredibly nervous the morning of my surgery. Dr. Sato and her team made me feel very comfortable. She even provided her cell phone number to my husband and checked in with him on my progress and medication a few hours after surgery. When I texted her about two weeks post-surgery with photos (lol) of my healing progress and some questions, she had me come in immediately and caught an infection. She is really just an amazing doctor. She took me from a 34G (on a super small frame) to a much more comfortable 34D. They are also lifted and much more perky. One of the things she explained during our initial meeting was that there was a risk that, with a reduction of such large breasts, that I might lose feeling in my nipples. I moved forward with the surgery fully aware of the risks. Unfortunately, she was right and I lost all feeling in my right nipple and most feeling in the left. That was definitely something that I had to come to grips with but I would still do it all over again for the relief and confidence that I gained. This was my first surgery experience and I'm too chicken to get the tummy tuck that I really want, but if I ever decided to go under the knife again, I wouldn't hesitate to call Dr. Sato.

Miracle Worker!! Dr. Sato is amazing and a true miracle worker. I am beyond thrilled with my results. I had initially scheduled surgery elsewhere, but two weeks before surgery, I found her portfolio on RealSelf and scheduled time to get a second opinion. She was factual, honest, and caring. I changed my surgery for TT and lipo with her and I am so thankful that I did. She basically saved my life and took good care of my healing. There is so much that she does to support her patients that I had not considered. She is a true professional and highly skilled, you will not be disappointed if you schedule time with her.
