Patient Reviews
"Dr Kumbla is an amazing doctor! She was my rock and sounding board through my breast cancer journey, from the beginning. I met with several surgeons and from the moment we met I knew she was going to be my doctor. She put me at ease and was the same through my whole complicated journey. There aren’t many doctors out there that are amazing at their craft and have an amazing bedside manner. In the future if I need or want anything else done, it will be with Dr Kumbla 100%."
"Dr Kumbla has done an amazing job on my breast augmentation. I love that she is a female doctor, and understands the size of breasts implants I chose. Originally my breast didn’t look quite identical and since the surgery they look much more identical because of Dr Kumbla’s work. Dr Kumbla has explained everything in very detail. I knew that I was in great hands with her. I have seen other plastic surgeon work from other doctors offices and Dr Kumbla work is above them all. I am sending all my friends to her."
"I am so pleased to have the opportunity to give a review from a husband’s perspective of the amazing work that Dr. Kumbla did for my wife. Dr. Kumbla’s surgical wisdom, amazing warmth, clear communication, and compassionate care, combined to create a true white glove experience for us throughout our journey with her. But let’s start at the beginning.Six months before my wife’s 50th birthday, she announced to me that she wanted to look fit and fabulous on her special day and wanted to have a breast lift and augmentation. From my perspective my wife was more than adequately endowed and looked amazing. From her perspectives, however, she wanted to “look nicer” on vacation in her bathing suits.She researched other doctors, but Dr. Kumbla (or Dr. K as we call her) came highly recommended by someone in her medical spa. In our first meeting with Dr. K, we immediately understood why. She started by asking us lots of questions to better understand our why, our vision, and the things that were important to us. When we asked questions, she didn’t respond with “doctor speak”: the typical medical jargon that would always make you feel like they were the expert, and you were the idiot. Instead, she explained things in simple and clear language, responded with compassion, and assured us that she would be with us every step of the way. We had no idea, at the time, what those words really meant and how different a medical experience we were about to have.To start, scheduling the surgery was not a simple task. We are avid travelers, taking trips 5-6 times a year, so scheduling the surgery between trips was like trying to thread a very fine needle. Dr. K’s staff did the impossible, they were able to juggle their surgery calendar to allow our surgery to occur days after one trip while allowing the required time before the next. We were so pleased.During our pre-op visit, we walked away with all the clarity we needed to be fully prepared for the surgery and the post-surgery healing. We also had the final discussions about size and shape, and Dr. K even encouraged us to share pictures with her of the desired end point.Based on the guidance we received from the pre-op visit, we made changes to our home to make those first two weeks post-surgery much more comfortable for my wife.Though the surgery was over five hours, Dr. K’s staff kept me notified every step of the way as I kept myself distracted in the waiting room working on my computer. When Dr. K came out and described to me the success of the surgery, I must confess to dropping a tear or two of grateful relief.Dr. K personally called the next morning to check in on the patient. Then again 2 days later. She happened to be in the area one afternoon in the first week, and she came by for a house call! (What doctor does this these days?)An additional nice feature of Dr. K’s approach is that you pay one price, and all the pre- and post-surgery activities are included. She wants you to be happy and she does everything she can pre- and post-surgery to make that happen.At this point, we are over four months post-surgery, and my wife couldn’t be happier with the results and with the journey getting. Dr. K and her staff create a truly handholding, white glove experience that is way beyond the current practice.We are so pleased."
"I was introduced to Dr. Kumbla at a very scary time in my life. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2024, and chose double mastectomy. At first I wanted to go flat, but then after my breast surgeon and other doctor friends explained all the options available for patients in my situation I changed my mind and went with double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction.Dr. Kumbla was recommended to me by my breast surgeon, and I'm so glad she did. From the moment I met her I felt at ease. She is very well spoken, explains everything in detail, and gave me a chance to ask questions. The fact that she had worked with numerous breast cancer patients like me was more reassuring. She understood the fears I had, and answered all the questions.Surgery day was the most scary day of my life! It was a two part surgery, starting with a breast surgeon, and then doctor Kumbla took over to start the reconstruction process. After the surgery she made sure I was okay, she came to see me the next day before I was discharged from the hospital. She continued to follow up after I went home, and I was able to reach her directly with any issues I had.Since breast reconstruction involves multiple steps, I have been seeing her for many months, and I just had my second exchange surgery few weeks ago, and I am pleased with the results. I still need some more work before I complete the reconstruction, and I would not trust anybody else other than Dr. Kumbla. Not only she is good at what she does, but very compassionate and relatable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is in need."

"I am beyond thrilled with my experience with Dr. Kumbla and the incredible results of my procedures. I was referred to her by my sister-in-law after having had breast implants for 18 years. Due to complications with my previous surgeons, I was extremely cautious about selecting the right surgeon for my needs. From the moment I met Dr. Kumbla, I knew I had made the right choice. She thoroughly examined my chest, carefully explained her process, and took the time to address all of my concerns. Instead of simply replacing my implants, I chose to undergo an explant with a lift—a decision I’m so grateful for. After that procedure, I also had a second surgery to address diastasis recti, during which we discussed the option of fat transfer to my breasts. The results from that procedure were absolutely amazing. A year later, I returned for the second part of my mommy makeover, which involved liposuction on my abdomen. We initially delayed this step due to concerns about skin complications, but once again, Dr. Kumbla provided thoughtful and careful guidance, leading me to a third procedure with her. The results have been life-changing, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Having worked with male plastic surgeons in the past, I often felt that my concerns weren’t fully heard. Dr. Kumbla, however, has an impeccable bedside manner. She was always available to answer any questions and followed up with me daily to ensure everything was progressing well. She explains every step of the process clearly and makes sure I feel supported and understood at all times. I cannot recommend Dr. Kumbla enough. Her expertise, compassion, and dedication to her patients are truly unmatched. Lastly, the entire staff at Primacenter made the entire process so much easier. From the anesthesiologist Dr. Appel to the operating room nurse Sarah, everyone was incredibly helpful and put my mind at ease. Front desk staff Carli and Maggie were also fantastic and made the whole experience smoother. I truly felt supported every step of the way."

"Last year I followed through with one of the best decisions I had ever made, which was to have a breast reduction. I dealt with incredible back pain, had a terrible time finding clothes that fit properly, and lacked a certain confidence that I knew I deserved to have. I spent a long time researching and looking for the best surgeon who had great reviews, a steady hand, and a gentle manner. When I found Dr. Kumbla and had my consultation, I knew I was making the best decision. Dr. Kumbla and her staff were kind, knowledgeable, and answered any questions I had prior to and after the surgery. The surgery itself went incredibly well. She works tirelessly to provide a level of personal care and attention that just doesn't exist anymore. I would highly recommend Dr. Kumbla to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. I could not be happier with my results! Thank you Dr. Kumbla!!!"
