Julie Vasile, MD, FACS

Dr. Vasile is not only a skilled surgeon, but she is also a wonderful human being.
Initially, I interviewed many and found a terrific breast surgeon. It was determined with her that I would be having a bilateral mastectomy and elected to have reconstruction using my own body tissue. Although there are many options for reconstruction, this seemed the best fit for me. I had only one obstacle. I had become very thin at the time. The stress of life and this new medical challenge had gotten to me, and I dropped weight rapidly. So, could I find a great reconstruction surgeon that could help me in this situation? That terrific breast surgeon suggested that I add Dr. Vasile to my list of reconstruction surgeons that I was interviewing. She had nothing but amazing compliments about her.
Prior to selecting a specialist for my series of complicated surgeries, I met with eight reconstruction surgeons in order to find the perfect fit for my circumstances. During our initial consultation, it became obvious to me that Dr. Vasile was by far the best fit for my medical team.
Don’t let her petite stature and softspoken demeanor fool you. Dr. Vasile is a powerhouse of a surgeon. She is intelligent, a pioneer in her field, proficient at complex surgery, consistent, thorough and has a proven track record. However, she is not all business.
Dr. Vasile is dedicated to her patients in every way. She is gifted at performing surgeries on individuals that are going through life-changing periods in their lives. In many cases, emotions are running high while we navigate through the process of mastectomies, reconstruction using our own body tissue and potential follow up surgeries or procedures associated with this. Dr. Vasile is kind, thoughtful, approachable, understanding, sensitive, relatable and available.
It made my entire experience less stressful just knowing that I could reach out to Dr. Vasile at any time if issues arose post-surgery. Unlike other offices, you always communicate with her. You are not sent to another physician who is covering. It made a big difference for me considering I had multiple surgeries and preferred to attain my advice directly from Dr. Vasile if I had a question or concern.
My experience was the best possible scenario I could have asked for. I will admit, although I never show certain emotions, I was nervous at every surgery I have undergone, except when Dr. Vasile has overseen the ER. I always have full confidence that everything will go perfectly when she is in charge.
Breast reconstruction is a very personal matter. In my opinion, it gets even more personal when you harvest tissue from other body locations to reconstruct. I have recommended Dr. Vasile to many friends, family members and acquaintances. I trust her completely and respect both her surgical abilities and bedside manner. If you are considering reconstruction, you must meet with her. You will not be disappointed!

When I learned I needed a mastectomy I was overwhelmed and anxious about choosing the right reconstruction method. From the moment I called Dr. Vasile's office and she personally picked up the phone to speak with me, I felt immediately reassured. Dr. Vasile is a surgeon and physician beyond compare. She is incredibly skilled, dedicated, meticulous, caring, responsive and accessible. In order to fit my surgery in so that I didn't have to wait weeks, she saw me in her office on weekends right before and after her scheduled trip. Her office staff are also amazing, they took care of all the details including advocating with my insurance. Dr. Vasile puts her all into her work. I had DIEP Flap reconstruction and only 6 weeks after my surgery I am doing great thanks to her!
