“I had a situation where I needed to remove sensitive stitches and no one would remove them for me except here at PSG. Their staff are super kind and respectful and they did an amazing job at removing my stitches and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the process. I feel like plastic surgery offices tend to be very intimidating and people can be rude as you’re talking about your insecurities, I did not feel that way here. I would gladly come back here!”
“Dr\. Kath did an AMAZING job\! OMG\! Her bedside manner is absolutely perfect\. She was so kind and caring to me, my mother, my sister, and my whole family\. She made sure I was comfortable, relaxed, and okay the entire time\. Normally, I would’ve been freaking out and crying, but I didn’t do either one\! 😂 I felt so comfortable and at peace\. The entire team was AMAZING, from Dr\. Kath’s office to the surgery center\. I would choose Dr\. Kath a million times over\! She truly made me feel like family\. ❤️ And a special thank\-you to the ladies at the front desk—you all were so sweet and welcoming\! The whole team was just wonderful\. Dr\.

“I have been seeing Madelyn Scruggs for all of my esthetician needs, and it has completely changed the health of my skin!!! I get compliments daily of my skin glowing and it’s thanks to Madelyn. I also am very picky about my eye brows, but she does them better than anyone else in the city! As a black girl I was a little worried about how my skin would react, but I recommend Madelyn to any and everyone no matter your skin type or race or age. She has changed my life!!!”
“During my first consultation visit, Dr. Chandler listened to my goals, wants, and needs. He set realistic expectations and thoroughly explained each procedure in advance. He also answered all of my questions and concerns. His clinical team was so understanding, cared about my worries and answered a multitude questions. I truly felt like I could trust Dr. Chandler and the clinical staff which truly eased my mind. Dr. Chandler and his staff have gone above and beyond during my postoperative care. The results of my first surgeries are so amazing. It was above and beyond anything I could’ve imagined. I am so overwhelmed and shocked how these first two surgeries have affected me emotionally. I’m so ready to continue with the next surgeries. This opportunity to finally feel comfortable in my own body is amazing. I am so grateful to Dr. Chandler, and his entire clinical and clerical staff. Everyone has treated me with the utmost kindness and respect.”
“I was referred to Dr. Kath and PSG by my primary care doctor for a breast reduction, and I’m very happy with my experience. Mary helped schedule my first appointment and made sure all paperwork was completed ahead of time, which made everything smooth and easy. Dr. Kath took the time during my consultation to clearly explain the procedure and what to expect, which helped me feel comfortable and informed. The front office staff were also welcoming and friendly at every visit. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my surgery and would recommend Dr. Kath.”
