I am new to this discussion board. I saw a posting by someone in Orlando who said they knew of no Florida plastic surgeons doing DIEP. I am considering Dr. Richard Klein, who does DIEPs with his colleague, a facial plastic surgeon, out of Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.

Does anyone know of this team?

You might want to check with Sue F of the FORCE board, she would have the inside scoop if this has recently changed. I had mine done in Gainesville by Dr. Jason Rosenberg. He does DIEP and accepts insurance.

Paul Smith & Richard Klein. Smith is the microsurgeon and lead doc, so if you go for a consult, see him. they are a fantastic team, but most often do a muscle-sparing free tram, which I believe is also a very good surgery. I had expected to have the ms free-tram, but they did the diep once they saw the my blood vessels were large enough. will be happy to answer more questions if you have some. best, Pat
