Abraham S Marcadis, MD

My young son had a serious accident at school and he was taken by ambulance to the emergency room. Dr. Marcadis was called in to stitch up what was left of his forehead. His face was so badly injured that the paramedics did not want me to see it. When I peeked under the blood soaked sheet, they had to catch me as I almost hit the floor. I remember thinking as I ran out of the room (so my son would not see me cry), that his face would never be the same. He would bear a disfiguring scar that might change his life forever. It did not seem possible that he could walk out of there and not look like Frankenstein.
Dr. Marcadis performed an absolute miracle. He patiently, calmly and confidently stitched the flap of skin (most of the forehead) into my son’s eyebrow area. No one seeing a before and after photo would have believed that this was the same child.
After he finished, Dr. Marcadis cautioned me that my son might have a few hairs that would never grow along the eyebrow. As I looked at my beautiful boy’s restored face, I knew that Dr. Marcadis had given my son an amazing gift. If he had not had the opportunity to be operated on by such a skilled and gentle surgeon, he would not have grown in to the handsome young man that he is today. And yes, there is a tiny area with no hair along his eyebrow. But, thanks to Dr. Marcadis, he has no visible scar. That day in the E.R. is a distant memory.
Since then, over the years, my family has gone to Dr. Marcadis for various surgeries and I have referred friends who have come away being more than satisfied. But I will never forget that remarkable day in which an immensely talented surgeon saved my young boy’s face.
