“I have had a wonderful experience going to Columbus Institute/Mid Ohio Plastic Surgery. Dr. Prassinos does amazing work and the staff at all locations are so kind and helpful. I’m very pleased with my results and highly recommend them to everyone!”
“I've had two procedures with Dr. Shah. With my first procedure, it was the first time I'd had any plastic surgery and I interviewed several different doctors to ensure I selected one that I trusted to give me a quality outcome. Ultimately, I selected Dr. Shah because I clicked with him immediately. He took his time and explained everything to me so I could understand. His team from the office staff to the nurses were amazing. Surgery went without a hitch and again everyone was amazing and extremely helpful and kind. With my second procedure, I did not hesitate to return to Dr. Shah as I trusted I would have a positive experience again. The staff attitude and Dr. Shah were just as they were many years ago with my first procedure. I did not hesitate to schedule my surgery with Dr. Shah and team. One week post-op today and everyone has been amazing. Realizing I will not see full results for several months, I can already see a difference and I'm pleased with what I see thus far. The nurses and team have been amazing at promptly answering my questions. If you're thinking about having a procedure done now or in the future, meet with Dr. Shah. You won't be disappointed.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with this office! From my very first appointment, the entire staff made me feel comfortable, heard, and completely supported. I had my previous implants removed, a breast lift, and smaller implants placed, and I am already so happy with my results. As a runner and someone who enjoys working out, the size and weight of my previous implants had gotten to the point where exercising comfortably was becoming difficult. One of my biggest goals with this surgery was to go smaller and feel more comfortable and proportionate while still having a look I loved. My surgeon truly listened to what I wanted and helped me choose a size that fits my body and lifestyle so much better. I am only one week out from surgery, but I am already so much happier with the smaller size and cannot wait until I am cleared to start working out and running again! Even this early in the healing process, I know I made the right decision. The care I received before, during, and after surgery has been exceptional. Everyone has been kind, professional, attentive, and always willing to answer my questions. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I felt completely confident in my decision and the care I received. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone considering breast surgery. I am so thankful for the entire team and excited to see my final results as I continue to heal. Truly a 5-star experience from beginning to end!”
“The staff at Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery was incredibly kind and respectful. The woman at the front desk are very cheerful and supportive. Each time I have made a call to the office, they have been informative and helpful. Dr. Prassinos was knowledgeable and thorough with the options of surgery I was interested in during my consult. He made sure to communicate that, while results are individualized his priority is to provide the appearance I am imagining and be completely satisfied post-op. It felt comfortable speaking with Dr. Prassinos about my health background, he was compassionate and listened to what I had to say. As well as hearing the concerns from both my husband and I. We are looking forward to continuing on with plans for a “mommy makeover!” Olivia was my patient coordinator who was funny and energetic. She is full of enthusiasm and works efficiently to keep the process moving towards the end of the visit.”
“Dr. Shah and the entire staff were amazing. They made me feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout my entire experience. Everyone was kind, professional, and compassionate. I truly appreciate the excellent care I received and would highly recommend them.”
