Testimonials

Dr. Pannucci is kind, considerate, and wants to take the best care of you.

2020 sucked. Not only did Covid mess up everything, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When I met Dr. Pannucci, he answered all my questions, and gave me a path forward; without any fluff. Any question I asked, he answered and ensured I understood. Through the bilateral mastectomy to the DIEP reconstruction, he’s been an excellent doctor with a fantastic bedside manner. He’s truly an artist when it comes to DIEP reconstruction. He and his staff were there through the healing, and issues I had; their texting tool Klara is awesome and often was a great way to communicate “is this normal” because you could easily send pictures. I had a small issue with healing and needed a skin graft, but even that, he ensured was done with the best intention and possible outcome. Dr. Pannucci is kind, considerate, and wants to take the best care of you. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Spokane area for any sort of breast work.

Dr. Pannucci is absolutely the best

Dr. Pannucci is absolutely the best Doctor I’ve ever had in my life! When Dr. Pannucci did my Flap Surgery and Breast Reconstruction, he made my recovery so easy. I did not have any grief over the loss of my breast and no psychological issues. In fact, it’s like I was given a start on a new life. I can’t explain the feeling but I wish every woman with Breast Cancer could know about Flap Surgery and Dr. Pannucci. My recovery was so easy and everything was so perfect.

I have already recommended PSNW to close friends and family and will continue

2 weeks post and I couldn’t be happier. The office staff and Dr. Wheeler have been very informative and didn’t seem irritated when I called a few times with some concerns. They made me feel better about the issues I was having and even suggested coming in if I was that worried. My issues were non issues and completely normal for having the surgery I had. I have already recommended PSNW to close friends and family and will continue.

Dr Oliva and his staff we’re amazing

Dr. Oliva and his staff were amazing. They answered every question I had and went over every detail.
The day of my surgery was smooth. I was never left alone. The staff always made sure I was okay and asked if I needed anything. I remember even one of the MA’s asking to put chapstick on my lips because they were extremely chapped after the surgery. It’s those little details that show how much they care.
I can’t recommend this office enough!

I’d give Dr. Oliva and the staff at Plastic Surgery NW 10 stars if I could. Dr. Oliva did an amazing job on a complicated reconstruction after a double mastectomy. He was great at explanations, thinking of ways to improve the results, and overall I couldn’t be happier! I’d recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Pannucci is always very good about giving me realistic options. He explains the options well and leaves the decision to me without pressure.

We are forever grateful :)

Six years ago I had a double mastectomy, Dr. Williams did my tissue based reconstruction. I just wanted to say that not only did she take loving care of my needs, she was there for all of my family. If they had a concern, she took the time to make sure that all of their questions were answered. It has been a long time now, and my entire family still talks about how caring she was. 🙂 We are forever grateful.

He has excellent surgical skills and my outcome turned out beautiful

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. Wheeler helped explain the process I would undergo double mastectomy and reconstruction. Both he and his staff were understanding and kind throughout the multiple surgeries and office visits. He has excellent surgical skills and my outcome turned out beautiful and natural-looking.

Dr. Williams made one of the scariest times in my life not scary.

I was 29 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The last 7 months of my life have been a whirlwind and Dr. Williams has been a saving grace throughout my journey. She was always positive and such a light in a dark place. From my spacer placement after my double mastectomy, to my last reconstructive surgery last week I was never nervous because of her calming nature. My new breasts are absolutely amazing. Dr. Williams made one of the scariest times in my life not so scary.

AMAZING!

As a 39 year old, stage 3C, triple positive, BRCA II breast cancer patient, I was told that reconstructive surgery was NOT an option – saving my life was the focus of my doctors care – and rightfully so. My husband and I resigned ourselves to the fact that I would be wearing prosthetic breasts for the rest of my life. The fact that I would be alive was what was important and nothing else mattered. To our surprise, after intensive treatments, hysterectomy, axillary dissection, and bilateral mastectomy surgery, I had a pathologic complete response. This fact changed my survival percentages dramatically. Radiation and the remainder of my treatments soon followed, and reconstruction was suddenly on the table again. I was referred to Dr. Alfonso Oliva by my oncology surgeon and I am intensely grateful that she did!

One word covers it all: AMAZING!

AMAZING STAFF: Dr. Oliva’s staff is courteous, competent, and always willing to help with any questions regarding my care, procedures, or instructions.

AMAZING FACILITY: The Plastic Surgery Northwest facility, that Dr. Oliva is a part of, is highly professional. It is always clean, organized, and simple to navigate. The surgery center, located directly below the main office, is top notch and would rival any hospitals store of equipment and professional supplies required for the procedures being performed (without the high pressure chaos of a large hospital). The surgery staff is wonderful, also.

AMAZING DOCTOR: Dr. Oliva is truly amazing! He is not only exceptional at what he does – a perfectionist based surgeon whose experience and expertise are expressed in the extraordinary results of the surgeries that he performs – but he is a wonderful human being. He is compassionate and caring for the whole person, not just the patient, and continues to display these fine qualities throughout my treatments and follow up care. The honesty and up front information that he presented to my husband and me as to what we might expect for the surgery experience and post surgery results, impressed us in such a way that it convinced us to proceed with the reconstructive process. He promptly answered all of our questions and put our concerns at ease during a very difficult course. Dr. Oliva is the kind of person and surgeon that will change the path of how reconstructive surgery is performed for breast cancer survivors.

AMAZING RESULTS: I will never be able to say enough about how amazing my results are. I literally have to do a double-take when I look at my body in the shower or mirror (and my husband does, too). As a person who was just glad to be alive, I am SO GLAD that I had this surgical treatment done! To be blunt, I did not think having lumps of fat put back on my chest was going to make a difference in my life, but I was seriously wrong. The reconstruction process has not only changed my body, but it has changed my psyche, too. It filled the void that my brain felt at the loss of my breasts – my mind now feels the weight on my chest as “normal” and this has greatly aided in my recovery (something I never considered prior to surgery). My husband and I are SO HAPPY with my results and are eternally thankful for what Dr. Oliva has done for us.

Unfortunately for us, we discovered that our beautiful daughter also has the BRCA II gene. Along with many prayers and much faith, our only comfort is the knowledge that we have contact with an outstanding staff of oncology doctors and Dr. Oliva. When the time comes for her reconstruction, as a preemptive strike to the devastating effects of cancer, absolutely no one will touch our daughter except Dr. Oliva.

Top-Notch Plastic Surgeon!

Words cannot express how professional yet compassionate Dr. Williams was for me. She skillfully and artfully reconstructed my breasts post breast cancer/ double mastectomies, using the DIEP procedure, performing microsurgery to transplant blood vessels, skin and fat… WOW! I am still amazed and very grateful to her for her dedication as a top-notch Plastic Surgeon! I am so pleased with the end result and with the care I received.

I am very happy with my experience with Plastic Surgery Northwest

Plastic Surgery Northwest has shown me nothing but professional and respectful care. From the patient care coordinator Joleen who was sweet and help answer any initial questions and explained all that was expected, to the care of all the medical assistants who were awesome and made me feel at ease with any concern. And of course Dr. Wheeler who was ready and willing to answer any question and explain any concern I might have about my procedure. He was very professional in his patient care and did an AMAZING job on my procedure. I am very happy with my experience with Plastic Surgery Northwest.

I will be forever thankful

In January, Dr. Wheeler performed a miraculous surgery to reconstruct my breasts after a bilateral mastectomy due to cancer. He has been kind, thorough and understanding during every phase of this journey. I am on surgery no. 3, and his work is absolutely remarkable. He has given me back my dignity, and I will be forever thankful.
