Dear Dr. Nitta, You are forever one of my very favorite doctors. Thank you for repairing the giant hole on my face from melanoma, perfectly. Everytime I look at the scar I send you blessings, I can’t believe how you kept my face in place. You & I are both artists, so thank you for your skill & your kindness. The anesthesiologist was wonderful as were the nurses. And thank you when I sent my friend Tommy for the same melanoma repair. His isn’t visible at all.

I recently had 2 sessions of fat transfers from abdomen to cheeks and I am beyond delighted with the results. Dr. Nitta recommended this procedure by explaining the advantages of fat transfer (an in office procedure) over other alternatives during a consultation. Because one cheek had more fat loss than the other she told me I'd likely need the second procedure. (BTW I had consulted with another plastic surgery office that told me that the only solution for correcting my hollow cheeks was a $10,000 + face lift plus overnight hospital stay, probably $12,000 minimum if all went well, all this verbal and nothing in writing.) Dr. Nitta gives you a written cost at the consultation. She was very thorough during the fat transfer and mindful of my needing a little extra pain killer in the abdominal region during the procedure. Often before injections into my cheeks she eyed my face to check the symmetry of my cheeks since one needed about twice the filler of the other. Any type of plastic surgery is an art as well as a science and Dr. Nitta excellent at both. I highly recommend Dr. Nitta. Anyone considering any plastic surgery should consult with this highly skilled, very talented, transparent and ethical surgeon.

Dr. Nitta is the most gracious, helpful and most importantly skilled doctor I have ever see. She and her team made my procedure as stress free as possible. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and helpful through the consultation, surgery and post-op but she was calm and kind throughout my surgical experience which made me feel calm and safe (surgery can be a scary thing). She was there for me every step of the way and the outcome of my procedure is AMAZING! Every step of surgery was fully explained and I never felt stupid or out of place for asking a question or voicing some concern. I wouldn't recommend any other plastic and reconstructive doctor. Thank you Dr. Nitta for your incredible work!

Dr. Nitta is an artist! I love how she explained the procedure in in extra detail. I had a Rhinoplasty and love the way my nose looks. Its looks very natural.
