“I relocated to the Raleigh area last April. I researched plastic surgeons 6 months before my move. I was turning 60 and had found myself having to start my life all over again. I had been thinking about a tummy tuck for years. Children, menopause and age had all left a giant trophy in my midsection. I scoured Dr. Laws before and after photos and all of the amazing reviews his practice received. I had my first appointment in May. My pre-op in June and surgery in July. I have never looked back. It was the best investment I could have made in myself. He is so compassionate and kind. A true artist. His staff was wonderful. The pre and post care I have received is like nothing I could have imagined. They all feel like my family. Truly. No question or concern about my healing was too small or insignificant. I have since been using Blue Water Med Spa for all of my aesthetic desires. No wonder Dr. Law and his practice and Med Spa have been rated the Raleigh area's number one, best plastic surgeon in the area and beyond. He has patients come from all over the country and out of the country. Best decision I have ever made.”
“I had a great experience with Dr. Law! My results are phenomenal and the whole surgical team was amazing throughout the entire experience. Tammy & Casey were wonderful and supportive of all my questions and concerns.”
“I had an issue with blood vessels in my face making a big red mark on my cheek. Being a stubborn guy, I was reluctant to do anything about it. I'm glad I came here. Every day it seemed like someone was asking what happened to my face. I made up some great stories, but after decades, it got old. Blue Water Spa did an amazing job with the laser and I couldn't believe it was so affordable. A bargain at twice the price. I'm just amazed it could be done so quickly. I cant say enough good things! Thanks!”
“Dr. Law and his team have been with me for almost ten years. In 2015, I sought breast implants to feel more like a woman and found Dr. Law after extensive research. I traveled from Nebraska to North Carolina and received exceptional care and perfect results—exactly what I wanted! Over time, I realized that being a woman isn't just about breast size; I began to embrace and love myself for who I truly am. With my self-confidence restored, I contacted Dr. Law again, this time for implant removal. The procedure was painless and easy, and his team made the whole experience enjoyable. Now, I am my authentic self again, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you, Dr. Law and your team (Jessica, Melissa, Savannah, and Gavi), for your outstanding care! You are the best!”
“I just had a breast reduction done and I am beyond pleased with my results. Dr. Schmidt was an absolute dream of a surgeon to work with and to have do the procedure that I wanted to have done. She was very informative but also very polite and pleasant. The nurses were also a 10/10 and contributed to my overall amazing and unforgettable experience at Blue Water. Days before my surgery, I had friends and family ask if I was nervous and I honestly could say I wasn’t. Dr. Schmidt exuded an array of confidence in what she was doing and what she felt would work best for me and because of that, I did not feel like I needed to worry or be nervous at all. If you are considering having any plastic surgery done, I HIGHLY recommend going with Dr. Schmidt. She truly is the best of the best and you will not be disappointed.”
