Letter Testimonial
Dr. Katherine Nitta,
For over one year, I consulted with over a dozen doctors throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. When I started my research, a celebrity's wife
had died during a "tummy tuck" plus other cosmetic procedures. By the time I concluded my research, another celebrity's mom had died from complications
related to "tummy tuck" plus other cosmetic procedures complicated by questionable post surgery care. I was apprehensive and had many questions.
Dr Nitta was the first and last doctor that I consulted with. Over the year, I found Dr Nitta thoroughly explained the presurgery procedures, the
details of the surgery, the aftercare, and the follow up. Additionally, her office manager, Kristin, was knowledgeable, personable and supportive.
Dr. Nitta's office feels "personal". In fact, they don't have a "sign in sheet". Kirsten, laughingly explained "We know our patients"...and they do.
They referred me to an outstanding "urogynecology surgeon" to correct a problem that I was experiencing with my bladder. The surgeon did not have an
opening for a new client but thanks to Dr. Nitta and Kristin’s intervention, I was seen quickly and my "tummy tuck" and "bladder correction"
(midurethral synthetic sling cystoscopy) were done simultaneously on April 28, 2008. They, also, referred me to a very caring local recovery cottage
that was equipped to meet medical emergencies. I choose to spend a couple of days there.
Every doctor insisted on a current physical exam; however, Dr. Nitta was the only doctor that noticed that I had Scoliosis (an abnormal lateral
curvature of the spine) that caused a visual difference in the indentation of my waist and a difference in my hip line. She performed the procedure
in a way that minimized the visual differences. Dr. Nitta was the only doctor that discussed the possibility of a keloid (which is an excess growth
of scar tissue at the site of a healed skin) and committed to treat if one developed. A keloid did develop on part of the surgical site. Once a keloid
forms, treatments include cryosurgery (freezing), excision, laser, x-rays, and steroid injections. Some research indicates that "The best initial
treatment is to inject long-acting cortisone (steroid) into the keloid once a month. After several injections with cortisone, the keloid usually
becomes less noticeable and flattens in three to six month's time,
(http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases).
Rather than referring me to a cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Nitta treated the keloid with cortisone injections for several months. I am very pleased
with the results.
Two doctors that I, routinely use, recommended Dr. Nitta. Both stated that she was very conscientious, knowledgeable, pleasant and highly
respected in the medical community. One added that "her having small hands was an asset". Finally, when you compare cost, Dr. Nitta can't be beat
(given all that she provides from the beginning to the end).
It is my honor to write this testimonial. I know what a major decision this could be and I know how important it is to select a competent doctor
who takes care of the details that will maximize the success of your surgery and aftercare.
I am very proud of my "tummy" and of Dr. Nitta and Kirstin. If you would feel better chatting with a person who has gone through the procedure,
I'd be happy to talk with you...just obtain my phone number from Kirstin.
Good luck with your decision.
Donna Jones
