Dr. Mandel prides himself in taking into consideration each of his patient's individual needs when caring for them.

Dr. Mandel approaches cases with a background that is based in both minimally invasive (laparoscopic) as well as traditional (open) techniques. This offers the patient who requires complex procedures an advantage as he can blend the two together to optimize outcomes. Dr. Mandel utilizes Oncoplastic techniques when indicated to provide the best possible cosmetic result.
