Patient Empowerment Program - NYBRA Plastic Surgery

PEP:a unique program offered by NYBRA Plastic Surgery to address the emotional needs of their patients' 'breast cancer/risk reducing journey.

It is part of the integrative approach of this practice: Drs Feingold, Israeli, Korn, Light & Bank. Whether the reconstruction is a result of a breast cancer diagnosis or for risk reducing purposes, it is our belief that support is an integral part of the total healing process and of treating the whole being. The services provided through PEP are available to our patients who are presently in trea

tment as well as to those who have previously completed the breast reconstruction process. We hope that our patients will utilize these tools that focus on renewal and restoration of body and spirit. For information regarding PEP, please contact MOLLIE SUGARMAN,
Clinical Director, Patient Empowerment Program at 516.498.8400 or [email protected]
