It has been 3 months since my surgery and I couldn't be happier with my results. Dr. Mahony is very knowledgeable and takes pride in her work. I put 100% of my trust in her from the day of my consultation. She took the time to explain the procedure as well as reasonable expectations. Her staff is very kind and helpful. I would absolutely recommend her and would utilize her services again in the future.

After researching many doctors I came across Dr Ellen Mahony. Scheduled my consultation ( not free ) for a bilateral breast augmentation. Underwent my preop and my surgery. Started to notice my right side was starting sag more than the left constantly kept going back into the office to ask questions. The office staff was very rude with me on the phone all the time. The main problem was avoided I needed surgery but she wasn’t going to do it for a few months later. I’m 22 years old and I have goals to succeed and I can’t be waiting forever to have surgery. I was forced to go see another doctor in NYC to have my botched breast augmentation fixed.

It has been over one year since my surgery and I am so saddened because I still cannot feel the tender touch of my husband’s hand as he strokes my cheek –and don’t know if I ever will. And to add insult to injury, my double chin remains! I knew from the outset that there was a possibility of sensation loss, and I am not criticizing anyone because it happened. I am criticizing the treatment which I received that left me with this result. 1. DR. MAHONY’S POOR ATTITUDE: During my initial consultation with Dr. Mahony, she made me feel comfortable and impressed me with her confidence that she could certainly get me the results I desired. She had all of the time in the world to respond to my questions and assuage my concerns. However, during both of my follow up visits, Dr. Mahony was an entirely different person. She was brusque and borderline rude when she said, “Do you think I can perform miracles?”. Always rushed, Dr. Mahoney couldn’t wait to push me off on Stephanie (her lovely and capable assistant) as quickly as possible. Additionally, when I asked questions about massaging the scar areas, she curtly remarked that I should have been doing it already and I was told to do so. Truth be told, I was not given these instructions. I mean really… after spending $20,000 on a procedure, do you honestly think I would not do everything possible to give myself the best possible results???!!! 2. DR. MAHONY’S QUESTIONABLE FEES: Dr. Mahony explained that Norwalk Hospital was her location of choice, so, of course, I agreed, although it would cost a bit more. My fee was pre-paid based upon a projected number of hours in the operating room. Considering the time on the clock when I was taken into surgery and the time on the clock when she called my husband to say that I was done and all went well (she was clearly in the car at the time), it was obvious that she did not use all of the time for which I paid. Again, adding insult to injury, Norwalk Hospital said that not only did Dr. Mahony go under time, but she actually logged additional time and I was to be upcharged accordingly. Unless the physical world of time ceases to exist in the Norwalk Hospital, Dr. Mahony was not being honest. This sort of unsavory practice makes my blood boil. 3. DR. MAHONY’S LACK OF ASSISTANCE: I was so incapacitated immediately after the surgery that was unable to speak for myself. Accordingly, my husband and the attending nurses decided that it would be best if I were admitted. Somehow, this was listed on my record as “not a medical necessity” and therefore, the $1200 charge was not covered by my insurance. When I contacted Dr. Mahony’s office about this, I was told that it was not Dr. Mahony’s responsibility and that I needed to deal with the hospital directly. Moreover, when I mentioned that I was working with Minnie at Norwalk Hospital, I was told, “Oh yeah, she can be really difficult.” If billing at Norwalk Hospital is a known problem, why does Dr. Mahoney insist on using this facility and why does her office not have someone willing to assist her patients? I was left to fend for myself and ultimately forced to pay the excess monies. Bottom line: Would I recommend Dr. Mahony? No. Nope. and Never.

Thank you Dr Mahony for your professionalism , your kindness and understanding. Now my live is so much better amd happier than ever. God bless all of you. Thank you for everything.
