“Compassion, kindness, talent, teamwork..the entire team are just amazing from state of the art skin care to complex medical situations. Truly grateful to each and every one of them!! Louise”
“I had a facial treatment at Plastic Surgery Specialists and had a really great experience. The staff was pleasant, professional, and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout my visit. I highly recommend Plastic Surgery Specialists, they are a wonderful team!”
“I had a consultation with Heather to talk about what type of laser treatment would be best for my sun damaged skin. Heather gave me plenty of time - I didn’t feel rushed and she answered all my questions and concerns. She also has a lovely personality!”
“Truly Outstanding Care and Results I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From the very first consultation with Dr. H, he and his team have been incredibly responsive, caring, and supportive. Lyvia, Kelly and both Heathers made me feel completely at ease — always friendly, professional, and happy to answer any questions I had. The office is welcoming and calming, which really helped take the stress out of the process. Dr. H is simply outstanding. His approach is both meticulous and compassionate, and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results. The follow-up care has been excellent and I’ve always felt like I was in expert hands. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares and delivers exceptional outcomes, I highly recommend Dr. H and his amazing staff.”
“It took me almost three years to finally leave this comment. I had a 360 surgery with fat transfer to my buttocks, and they're completely deformed. My self-esteem is in tatters; I don't even want to look in the mirror. I'm covered in dimples. My left buttock is smaller than my right, and it's quite noticeable even with my clothes on. From the first few days, I knew something wasn't right. They did a touch-up to try and fix the problem, but it was a bloodbath. The anesthesia never worked; I felt like they were peeling my skin off. On a scale of 1 to 10, it hurt a 20. I should never have allowed that. After the touch-up, they left my abdomen crooked. After suffering so much, I told them I never wanted to go back. The surgeon simply said, "I'm not going to do anything else for you after what happened." I'm sure he wouldn't have been able to endure the pain I had to put up with every time they removed the fat. What was happening to me, don't go there, they'll leave you deformed.”
