Dr. Chris Funderburk, MD

“Dear Dr. Daniel Lara, For many years, I struggled with the physical changes that came with two pregnancies. Despite eating healthy and exercising regularly, I realized I couldn't make a substantial change on my own. Fortunately, I found you and the team at the Neinstein Plastic Surgery Center. Although I was initially afraid of surgery, meeting you immediately put me at ease. As a Brazilian mother, I felt completely at home discussing my procedures with you. My case was complex, but you addressed every detail with precision. My recovery has been fantastic with minimal discomfort. I will never be able to thank you and your team enough for the incredible care I received. From your remarkable bedside manner to personally picking me up from my hotel for my first follow-up appointment, your dedication to your patients is extraordinary. I highly recommend you to anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate surgeon. Thank you for giving me back my confidence.”

“I had a wonderful experience at this office and the wonderful team! The entire space is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully decorated, which immediately made me feel comfortable and welcomed. A special thank you to Tara for doing such a phenomenal job with my facial laser treatment. She was knowledgeable, gentle, and took the time to explain everything, making the experience easy and reassuring. I'm so happy with the care I received and would absolutely recommend Tara and this office to anyone considering facial treatments. I look forward to coming back!”

“As a fellow healthcare professional, I’m very particular about who I trust with my patients. Dr. Neinstein is someone I feel confident referring to. His attention to detail, aesthetic judgment, and commitment to achieving natural, beautiful results are qualities I truly appreciate. What sets him apart is his ability to combine technical expertise with a genuine understanding of each patient’s individual goals and an after care program that’s unbeatable. It’s clear that he takes tremendous pride in his work and cares deeply about the people he treats. When I refer a patient to another specialist, my own reputation is on the line as well. Dr. Neinstein is someone I’m proud to recommend and hold in the highest regard.”

“My experience with Dr Ryan Neinstein and his staff has been so far beyond my expectation it feels trite to put into words how supported and genuinely cared for I have felt since my first interaction. That was seven months ago. I am now three months post-op from a circumferential tummy tuck and can wholeheartedly with highest regard and great gratitude recommend Dr Neinstein and his entire staff. Expensive? Yes. And worth every penny. From my initial consultation through pre-op prep and into this, my 3rd month follow up consult week, I have felt supported, respected and in expert hands. His office staff, his surgical staff, anesthesiologist and the nurses are each and every one uber talented and professional yet treated me with care, kindness and compassion. Through personal visits at my hotel, to daily video check-ins with Nurses Tara and Ashley, to random text check-ins from the doc himself—I have always felt completely connected. And if I have a question or concern? They’re just a text away from a fully compassionate and professional response. Dr Neinstein created and himself cultivates a friendly and personalized vibe. Day 1 post op was my birthday—and much to my surprise they delivered me fresh flowers and Mylar birthday balloons. And then later when my dad passed away, another bouquet arrived with genuine condolences for my loss. Dr Neinstein combines his perfectionism, safety requirements and perfected techniques with a happy, energetic and fun vibe—I remember surgery day he presented me with NPS swag and bracelet—I still proudly wear—-and as he drew on my torso where he intended to cut, we rocked out to the Counting Crows. I had implant and ex-plant surgery years ago and was surprised that my mobility has been far greater after this surgery than before. I did need the nursing support for the first two days post op and added more hours so I had nursing support a few hours each day to help with showering, dressing and scar care while I was in nyc. I recall when the nurse put me in my first compression garment—I burst into tears. I couldn’t imagine wearing those things for three months! Yet I’m happy to report I have made a positive relationship with my garments and happily wear them every day. I’ve continued with lymph drainage massage and believe it has helped mitigate swelling and expedited my healing. I had an issue with the hotel I booked and Dr Neinstein, Mitch and Bella stepped up and immediately arranged a transfer to The Plaza, where we had a remarkably comfortable and truly six-star experience. I highly recommend booking the Plaza for your own post op stay as they are well prepared for and cater exceptionally to Dr Neinstein’s clientele. Unbeknownst to me when I embarked upon my own GLP-1 weight loss journey over a year ago that the protrusion in my upper belly I had attributed to hormonal imbalance was actually a diastasis rectus about 5 inches wide. Apparently, my organs were beginning to herniate through my abdominal wall as a result of the uncommon stretching of those muscles and fascia from my twin pregnancy over 30 years ago. And Dr Neinstein performed that muscular repair all the way up to my sternum with no vertical scarring! He’s a talented surgeon-a technically expert artist, really, with an exceptional bedside manner. And the scarring I was so concerned about? I am no longer—he’s a magician for it is flat and fading right on schedule. In the end, my initial desire to restore my body to its pre-pregnancy form was not just an act of vanity but a prescriptive healing effort as well. I now feel comfortable in my own skin, with a flat stomach and abdominal muscle tissue intact. And my gratitude overflows. If you have ever considered plastic surgery, even a mommy makeover, do not hesitate. It’s absolutely Neinstein or Nowhere. Book your consult and Join the club. You will be overjoyed, as I am, that you did.”

“There are truly not enough words to express how grateful I am for Dr. Ryan Neinstein and his entire team. From my very first consultation to my post-operative care, every detail was handled with professionalism, compassion, and an incredible level of expertise. Dr. Neinstein is not only an exceptionally talented surgeon—he is a true artist. He takes the time to listen, explain every step of the process, and create a surgical plan that is tailored specifically to you. His confidence, knowledge, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind. The entire team stayed in close contact, monitored my progress, answered every question, and made me feel supported every step of the way. The level of care didn’t stop after surgery—it has continued throughout my recovery and will continue even after I return home. My results have already exceeded my expectations. The outcome is natural, beautifully refined, and exactly what I had hoped for. I feel more confident, comfortable, and aligned with my body than I ever have before, and I am truly amazed at the transformation. The staff deserves just as much recognition as Dr. Neinstein. Every person I interacted with was kind, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in my well-being. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless. If you’re considering plastic surgery, I cannot recommend Dr. Ryan Neinstein highly enough. His surgical skill is extraordinary, but what truly sets him apart is the way he and his team care for their patients. They don’t just transform your appearance—they give you confidence and make you feel genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey. Choosing Dr. Neinstein was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I would do it again without hesitation. I am beyond grateful and absolutely thrilled with my experience and my results.”
