Dr. Bermant Retiring

[steelhead]

Dr. Bermant sorry to hear you are retiring but why such short notice ?
I don't even think I can get in by July.


Announcing My Retirement
We are announcing my retirement and the closure of my practice as of August 31, 2011. We are accepting new patients (depending on the problem to be treated) until July 31, 2011.

I have enjoyed taking care and sculpting many patients over the years. Sculpting the human body has been a passion of mine for so long. It has been a privilege and an honor that so many patients have traveled from around the world for my surgical sculpting. We have valued the physician and patient referrals for their trust in my surgical skills. My staff and I appreciated being able to participate in our patient's surgical and health care.

With written patient authorization, a copy of the patient medical record will be available from our office at 11601 Ironbridge Road, Suite 201, Chester, Virginia, 23831 or by calling (804) 748-7737 Monday - Friday 9A.M. to 4:30P.M. Eastern Time until August 22, 2011.

Is there anyone taking his place? Maybe the medical schools could teach his dynamic technique as their new standard procedure for dealing with gynecomastia.

Yes, I am retiring as of the end of August this year. However, the 5 months gives patients who were planning using my sculpture to still have surgery under my care. The minimal bruising, swelling, and recovery shown on my website is typical for my patients. This permits patients to still have surgery under my care during this period.

Hope this helps,

Congrats on your career and retirement doc!

Why does Dr. Bermant not setup his the " Bermant institute of gynecomastia correction" and hire a few board certified plastic surgeons and teach them now to do it dynamic method. It would be a win-win situation for himself and the patients.

He has already established a brand name and a reputation for being able to correct gynecomastia without general anesthesia or noticeable scars.  Its the most common issue with men for plastic surgery and yet there are almost no doctors who have good experience with it.

Just an idea.

I agree with Steve Dell. Dr. Bermant is there any way you could teach or pass on your "Dynamic Technique" ? It is such a remarkable approach. It's sad that other Plastic Surgeons can't develop something similar, but to not have it for gyno is a big blow.

I wish I would have seen this retirement notice sooner.

I've put off the surgery for years... as soon as I decide to get it done... the best doctor retires. Bad timing for me
