"I was initially shying away from posting a review because I wanted to keep my procedure private, but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. Cannot be more happy with my results! Dr. Tony and team were amazing. From the moment I stepped in the clinic, the team made me feel comfortable and was there to answer any concerns I had. Dr Tony explained everything in detail during my initial consultation, which left me feeling confident in my decision to have this prodedure done. It’s been 4 weeks now and, for the first time in years, I feel happy with what I see whenever I look in the mirror. Men, if you’re ever considering gynecomastia surgery, you won’t regret getting it done here! Thanks Dr. Tony and the ICCM team."

"The best result ever. I’m so happy and feel incredible lucky to have found Kathy.I feel more confident all day along. My hair looks thicker and more natural than ever. I highly recommend Kathy to everyone. I’ve tried many different solution but this is by far the best. Don’t waste your time looking for elsewhere. Thank you Kathy for helping me look beautiful"

"I had a disappointing experience with ICCM. During my consultation, I was informed that the surgery would cost approximately $4,000 to $6,500. However, the final quote was $7,500, and additional hospital and anesthetic fees brought the total to $11,700. The lack of transparency and clear communication regarding the extra costs was quite frustrating. I hope they can improve their communication and be upfront about all potential fees in the future."

"I booked an appointment and was given the next available date 3 weeks later. The day before, I emailed to confirm and was told that my appointment had not actually been confirmed. No one had contacted me prior. I had already cleared my work schedule to attend and this was a significant decision for me. Had I not followed up myself, I would have arrived for an appointment that didn’t exist. Overall, this was a very disappointing and inconvenient experience and I found the process unprofessional. I also felt that there was little ownership taken or effort made to provide a solution when I raised the issue. Do not book with this place."

"These guys did an excellent job from start to finish. The communication and overall service were great the whole way through. I had gynecomastia surgery done through ICCM and I’m really happy with the results so far. Kathy has been amazing with my post-op aftercare and always made me feel comfortable asking questions. Dr Obaida was also great — he explained everything clearly and made sure I understood all the risks involved before going ahead with the surgery. Overall I felt really well looked after, and if I ever needed another procedure in the future I’d definitely come back here."
