.about .noScriptHide .nojs-show,.truncated [data-rem],blockquote .truncated-text{ display: initial !important}.no-js-hide,.ellipsis { display: none; }.truncated:after {content: '' !important}

I am a plastic surgeon who specializes in the reconstruction of areas of the body after surgery to remove a tumor. While this includes all types of surgical reconstruction, I have a specific interest in breast reconstruction and in reconstruction of the head and neck. Reconstruction helps to restore form, function, and appearance, while enhancing a patient’s self-confidence and self-image after cancer surgery. In my practice I utilize state-of-the-art techniques to perform reconstruction, including the use of perforator flaps such as the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP). These techniques achieve the reconstructive goals while simplifying recovery.

Dr. Disa is THE BEST. I've seen photos of other doctor's reconstructive surgery and became nervous. I proudly show how natural I look today. Thank you, Dr. Disa!

Exceptional. Dr. Disa has cared for me through multiple surgeries all in an effort to improve my way of life and my health. His staff is also exceptional and you would be fortunate to have them care for you and your health. The emotional support, the time spent listening and the effort to make you a priority is a gift I am thankful for every day.

Had a bilateral mastectomy in 2012 followed by reconstruction. Dr Disa was compassionate and all results are positive, my friends say I look better than ever. I wish I didn't have to go through this but I feel I had a great outcome considering the circumstances. I highly recommend Dr Disa whenever I can.

Dr. Disa is a wonderful person and doctor. I am so happy he was the doctor that was recommended to me for my double mastectomy and reconstruction. His office staff are true professionals as well as experts in their Field.

Dr. Disa is truly a wonderful doctor, as well as, an honest and forthright human being. When I was informed that I needed to make a life altering decision, he presented my options, in a clear and empathetic manner. He made sure that I understood the risks involved and that I was as sure about my decision, as one could possibly be. In my opinion, he is the best there is. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph Disa, for anyone requiring a mastectomy and any form of reconstruction.

I first met Dr. Disa in 2010 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My breast surgeon connected me with Dr. Disa to handle my reconstruction. From day one I felt very lucky to be in his care. I never felt rushed or like my questions were silly or unimportant. He answered every question thoroughly and in a way that made sense. He spoke in layman's terms, but I never felt talked down to. His office was always responsive to my calls and he seemed very invested in my health and the outcome of the reconstruction. I will admit that the extensive waits at appointments is painful and frustrating, but once you know what to expect you can plan accordingly. Once in you will not be rushed out of his office. I read some not so favorable reviews and I could not relate to any of them. I would highly recommend any women considering breast reconstruction following a mastectomy to see Dr. Disa.
