Schusterman Mark A MD

There is a new implant in town and it's in my lips. No more painful juvaderm injections for me! Recently Dr. Schusterman performed this quick, in office proceedure and all my friends want lips like mine. But here is the real skinny...it hurts a little, but not for long. I had my proceedure on a Friday and had an excuse to take it easy for the weekend. I took the oral pain medicine and applied ice on schedule for the first twenty four hours. I had some "lip awareness" but no real pain. By Monday I was back at work with lucious lips. This Dr. and his staff were delightful, professional, AND in fact, I think I will go back to fix a little of this and a little of that.

Cons: THUMBS UP!

If these glowing recommendations are not written by Dr. Schusterman's staff or his wife, I'll kiss your implants. Don't get attached to anyone on his staff - they don't last long with him.

Pros: Can't think of any

Cons: Wasted money

I first saw Dr. Schusterman in 1990 for my first breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis, a modified mastectomy and radiation therapy. I could not be more happy with the results of my reconstruction. Dr. Schusterman has always been so pleasant to deal with and was so accessible to me as a new patient. I always had the opportunity to speak to him personally over the phone if I truly had concerns. Dr. Schusterman did wonderful work that has been complimented on by a number of doctors that I have seen through the years. All agree that it looks great and he did a superb job. I recently have developed a problem with the other breast and did not hesitate in calling Dr. Schusterman. He is presently in the process of reconstructing my second breast, using a different method from the first, but no less successful. I am confident that it will be as beautiful a result as the first. I have found that his staff is very accomodating and pleasant to deal with. I love this doctor and would very much recommend him to anyone. BRSchnell

Pros: Altogether very positive experience.

Cons: None

It's actually hard for me to put into words what an incredible experience I had with both Dr. Schusterman and his staff! I visited two other very credible doctors in the area before deciding to go with Dr. Schusterman and I'm so glad I did! I was incredibly impressed with his honesty and expertise and my results are AMAZING! Both pre and post op his staff was incredible. I must have called at least 10 times bugging them about medication and silly instructions like when I can begin exercising, (which I know they told me a million times before.) Every time I called the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend Dr. Schusterman to all my friends and family!!

Pros: Doctor's experience and expertise. Warm and friendly staff!

Cons: Can't think of any!

I recently had a consultation with Dr. Schusterman for a breast lift and implant replacement. His bedside manner is great and his staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to have my surgery! While I was there I got a free skin care consultation at his medspa and had some Botox. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.

Pros: Doctor and staff friendly and knowledgeable.

I sought out a surgeon to help "put me back together" after my battle with breast cancer. I made the decision to have double mastectomies due to the high incidence of breast cancer in my family. I am still rather young and wanted to be sure I could recover my shape after removing my breasts. During my entire battle with cancer, I read and researched everything, every step of the way (procedures, risks, outcomes, how to pick a Dr, how to pick a treatment, what has the best survival rate, etc). All the leading books tell you to find a surgeon that is credible, has a strong reputation, extensive experience and a demeanor to support you in the last every step towards recovery. Dr Shusterman and his staff, especially Michele (his OR nurse) more than exceeded all of my expectations. I interviewed several other surgeons but Dr Shusterman's experience, reputation and skills are phenomenal. His experience was extremly valuable in making decisions about what surgery would be best so soon after my chemo (risk factors, health issues post-chemo, long term effects of all options,etc). He took steps to minimize side effects of the surgery (first time i did not get nauseaus post op - which was a real treat after being so sick with chemo). His staff provided me with verbal and written information through every step which was a great resource to use when i got home and forgot everything i was told. I really cannot put into words the healing spirit I encountered in working with Dr Shusterman and his staff. After seven months of treatments (finding the cancer to getting through chemo and finally to the point of a double mastectomy) my spirit and body were in a fragile state. The comfort, encouragement and support from Dr Shusterman and his team have really helped me to get my life back. It is now 13 months since I found my cancer and i FINALLY feel like i am almost back to the old me (new breasts and all!)

Pros: Best surgeon for a wholistic approach to healing from cancer

Cons: Parking - but they are moving to a new building soon!

As a potential breast reconstruction patient, I consult ed with several doctors but consulted more than once with Dr. Shusterman. The magnitude of making the decision for this surgery coupled with choosing the right doctor could have been a mind-boggling experience. As I am 2 1/2 hrs. from Houston, I did not need to waste my time or anyone else's. However, I had such a great experience when I walked through the door of Dr. Shusterman's office on the first visit. The ladies of Dr. Shusterman's office went "above and beyond"! After talking with him, I realized he was committed to excellence and would be meticulous in surgery. I, as the patient, would benefit greatly from that. Additional questions were handled by Michelle, his surgery nurse, who was patient and understanding. My results?...fabulous .....great ....awesome. ...fantastic! Yes, if anyone is considering surgery I think Dr. Shusterman would be an excellent choice!

Pros: great job ....good surgeon

Cons: Long wait for your car to return from valet parking

I went to Dr. Mark Schusterman for a second opinion for a breast augmentation and I am so happy that I did. As I walked into his office I was greeted by the front office and was then brought back not too long after by the Patient Coordinator . By this time I felt very comfortable and relaxed as the doctor walked in. It seemed as if we made a connection and he made me feel very comfortable. He answered all my questions and I was very informed of the surgical procedure. After reviewing his website and finally meeting him I knew at that moment that he was the right doctor for me. I trusted his expertise and his staff was very pleasant. The financing process was made very easy for me and before I knew it I was set up and ready to go for surgery within a few weeks. My results are amazing and my husband is very thankful. I would highly recommend Dr. Mark Schusterman to all my friends and family. He has made this whole process a very easy process and I am very thankful.

Pros: Educated me about the procedure. Highly qualified doctor. Great results.

Cons: Parking can be a bit crazy at times but he is in the Medical Center.

I went to Dr. Schusterman to get a breast augmentation because of his great credentials. His price was higher than the other doctors quote's I've gotten, but I'm glad I ended up paying the extra money, because the results were wonderful. However, his appointments are quick (I'm talking 5-10 minutes) and he often double books patients, so his waiting room is constantly filled and the wait time is around 45 minutes for a quick followup. He is very busy and barely will look at you during your appointments. Despite this, you can't argue that he isn't a good surgeon. I'd go back again based on his expertise alone.

Pros: Great surgeon, double board certified

Cons: pricier than other plastic surgeons, long wait times, no bedside manner
