Cayci did not do a good job on my nose. It's worse than before the surgery. No follow up with him, as he just disappeared, or changed jobs or something. Horrible results, and I would not recommend.

• Gives clear explanations and sets realistic expectations • Is friendly and personable • Shows genuine concern, listens carefully, and respects patient’s opinions • Provided excellent care and support throughout my journey and afterward I had a procedure that turned out to be a lot more involved that I initially thought. Dr Cayci’s approach gave me confidence and reduced my anxiety about the work being done, no small feat. I would not hesitate to refer others to him for breast surgery.

It's hard to express the level of gratitude that I have for Dr. Cayci. My husbands hand was going cold, It was a real possibility he could have lost a finger or even his whole hand, Dr. Cayci took on his difficult case and fixed the blocked artery that supplies blood to his hand. Reading this you may think "hum that's cool", but Think about this it took around 9 hours of surgery to make this fix happen. From taking the healthy artery from my husbands thigh, a healthy muscular artery to replacing the thrombosed (bursted) artery in his hand that supplies blood flow to his fingers and whole hand, this was not an easy or common surgery. The fine detail work that needed to be done was not easy and or quick by any sense. After fixing my husbands hand all day Dr. Cayci came out with pictures a full explanation and took time to answer all my questions with such incredible grace. My husband is a Gifted Mechanic whose hard work over 25years resulted in needing his hand fixed, I am so Grateful… for Dr. Cayci's Gift in plastic surgery, he saved our lives as we know it by saving my husbands hand. There are really no words of thanks big enough to express my gratitude for this man, Thank you Dr. Cayci.
