“Dr Caplin, Renee, Alyssa , Gretchen & the surgical team have been phenomenal. Dr Caplin’s expertise, bedside manner and precise attention to every detail, put him above all the rest. I am beyond grateful to have chosen to be under his care! Thank you!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Patricia McGuire. This was my third breast augmentation, after unfortunately developing severe Grade IV capsular contracture with my previous two surgeries, which were performed in Florida and Philadelphia. For this surgery, Dr. McGuire performed a capsulectomy and explant, removed my old implants, and created an entirely new pocket. I was in a lot of pain going into surgery, and I honestly didn’t realize how much of that discomfort was related to the old implants and scar tissue. The result is exactly what I wanted. I never knew breasts could be this soft again! They look and feel so natural, and the result is honestly perfection. Dr. McGuire understood exactly what I was hoping for and delivered beyond my expectations. After dealing with capsular contracture twice, I was nervous about going through this again, but I am so grateful I chose Dr. McGuire. She is incredibly skilled, meticulous, and caring, and I truly feel like I am finally where I wanted to be. This has been the best experience I’ve had with breast surgery, and I could not be happier with my results. I highly recommend Dr. McGuire!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Patricia McGuire and her team. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and personable, and I felt well cared for from start to finish. Her staff was equally knowledgeable and helpful, the surgery center was great, and my follow-up care has been excellent. I would absolutely recommend Dr. McGuire!”
“My experience at Parkcrest Plastic Surgery with Dr. Caplin was nothing short of extraordinary. The attention to detail and years of expertise have shown through my results. Natural, balanced yet enhanced is what I wanted and it is exactly what I got. I cannot recommend him enough.”
“Dr. Caplin is one of the most kind, caring, and professional physicians I have ever met. His levels of expertise and technique are amongst the best in the industry. I had an impeccable outcome and could not imagine anyone else taking care of me. He is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely diligent in explaining procedures, as well as what to expect along the way. I had a phenomenal experience and would give him 10 stars if I could! He is most deserving. His staff and surgical team went above and beyond to ensure I had a seamless and safe medical journey—Terri, Gretchen, Alecia, Renee, and so many others played such integral roles in the process, for which I am most appreciative. Everyone made me feel confident and comfortable, demonstrating a stellar level of commitment. I will always remain grateful to Parkcrest Surgical for their dedication to high level care.”
