Dr. Metropol and his staff are a dying breed in healthcare. All are friendly, courteous, and extremely competent in their duties. Dr. Metropol’s bedside manner is second to none, as are his surgical skills. I have never experienced better care - bar none.

Dr Metropole performed a double mastectomy on me and assured me that the nipple sparing mastectomy would not be a problem. Well it was--I completely lost 1 nipple & If it wasn't for the excellent care and patience from my plastic surgeon, I do not know where I would be. I have now had 9 additional surgeries to fix the problems caused by Dr Metropole. I had 1 visit with him after my mastectomy & even though he saw the growing scabs on my skin (because of bloodflow) he said that I was in good hands with my plastic surgeon. He basically did not tell me why my skin was scabbing and he now did not know if the nipple sparing had worked. Even after my plastic surgeon ran into him a few weeks later & told him about what was happening--I never heard another word from my surgeon.

I have seen Dr. Metropol a couple of times as a patient myself but have watched as he has cared for family members and friends over the years as well as observing his knowledge and skills through my work association with him through Palmetto Health. He is truly a wonderful physican and person.
