Penelope, I did a Her2 search for old posts & came up with this. Sorry it doesn't invole Dr. Kind, but the additional info on other doctors might be of help to you.

I was about to google Dr. Kind, but I realized I never got his/her first name.

I had a friend done implants with a surgeon that was partnered with Loren E. Sorry I'm unable to remember the spelling of Loren's last name & the first name of her office partner, but I do recall that it was Dr. Young (female). My friend was pleased with her surgery results. Her reconstruction surgery took place at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco, but Dr. Young & Dr. E are based in a separate office, I can't remember where.... Either SF or Pal Alto?

I hope that your insurance can give you more selections for plastic surgery, instead of just Dr. Kind alone.

I have attached a copy of the old posts in our Her2 forum. Read below.

Good luck!

Bay area plastic surgeons

If it has to be SF--Loren Eskenazi (female, wrote book with "aphrodite" in title
(Google it?)

But I would look into going to Redwood City--Burt Brent MD is considered a Genius by many plastic surgeons--when he was at Stanford, put "new ear" on J.Paul Getty's grandson who had his ear cut off by kidnappers.When I looked him up on Google, I found other plastic surgeons quoted as saying he was what inspired them to go into plastic surgery

I saw one of his reconstructions almost 30 years ago when I believe he worked at Stanford--he even reconstructed "Montgomery glands" the little dots around the edge of the areola (border between the pigmented and unpigmented area ) with tiny bits of cartilage from behind the ear) The appearance of the breast was superb--and this was before all the recent work on different flaps

In Palo Alto--Vincent Lepore or Seung Kim

I would vote Brent #1 by far--haven't seen the others' work on breasts--just know their reputations

Hope this helps!
