“Dr. Maack and his entire team are amazing! I recently went to Dr. Maack for a septoplasty, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I had been struggling to breathe through my right nostril for at least three years, and since the procedure, my breathing has improved tremendously. I honestly feel like I no longer need to rely on nasal strips just to breathe comfortably. Dr. Maack was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel confident throughout the entire process. I’m extremely grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Maack and his team to anyone considering a septoplasty or looking for an excellent surgeon!”
“Dr Maack and his staff are wonderful. I had the best experience here. Dr Maack truly cares about his patients and is truly excited about the art of plastic surgery . I had an upper blephoplasty my results were amazing. Everything went as planned. Any concerns I had were addressed immediately. The office is unpretentious. I felt at ease and taken care of immediately. I would recommend Dr Maack and a staff to anybody they are the best”
“Dr. Maack is a miracle worker. I got a severe dog bite to my lip on a Saturday evening and urgent care did a sloppy patch up job (to say the least) that night. I called Dr. Maack’s office the following Monday and he bent his knee to get me in same-day. He redid everything. 15+ stitches and only 3 months later, any remnants of the injury are virtually gone. Not to mention, the guy seems like a fantastic person and is a great communicator. Highly recommend! If any family member/friend runs into something like I did, I know who I’m referring them to!”
“Dr. Maack did a great job at being very detailed with my visit. He was very informative, left me with no questions. He seems compassionate with his work, and that he’s there to help his patients get the best care and treatment in what they come in for.”
“I was referred to Dr Maack when I met with an ENT to address my difficulty breathing and sleep apnea, and the ENT felt my badly deviated septum required an ENT who was also a plastic surgeon. Since I had been anxious and reluctant about this type of procedure for many years, I planned to meet with multiple surgeons before choosing who would perform the surgery, but I felt no need to look further after meeting with Dr Maack. He and his staff made me feel so comfortable and informed that the anxiety immediately went away, and I booked the surgery that same day. At only about 2 weeks post op now and still healing, my breathing has already improved, and I love how my nose looks natural and what I think it should have looked like had my septum not been “S” shaped from prior injuries. Dr Maack really listened and understood the results I was hoping for both functionally and cosmetically. He is incredible at what he does. If you are considering surgery to improve the breathing or appearance of your nose, I would feel safe and confident in Dr Maack’s hands, and I recommend him to any family member or friend of mine. Thank you so much Dr Maack and also thank you to Molly, Amy, Shelby, Alaina, and everyone else on Dr Maack’s team that took such excellent care of me!”
