“Over a decade ago, I had a (Emergency) abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) which was Originally scheduled to just be a panniculectomy... performed by Dr. Black. He Is such a kind and considerate doctor when it comes to patient care. My surgery turned out to be a lot harder than anticipated. I can say after all these years, he did an excellent job ! He masterfully put my body back together. It required some very big changes that were not anticipated in the beginning of the surgery. He is a gifted and skilled surgeon. Today I'm very healthy and thanks to his work. I'm able-bodied and strong again. Why is my review a long time coming? After I had my surgeries with Dr. Black, I had several other surgeries done on body parts so I was in a healing phase and remain dormant for almost 15 years. When I returned to the gym, all the work that he put into my body has held tight and you could see clearly that his reconstruction methods were impeccable.! I wish I could show him the work that I've put in to give him an idea that when he said he could help repair my body he meant it and All work held strong just as he said he said it would! Thank you, Dr. Black to you and your staff who always respected my privacy and took any questions or concerns seriously. He was one of the only doctors that offered to help me. He could see I was in tremendous pain carrying around the weight of the skin on my body.. He knew if I was repaired that I would eventually be healthy again as long as I stuck to the plan and let it heal properly. I do hope you are all well. I am. Maria Altenbach”
“Such an exceptionally kind, caring, and empathetic physician. As a physician myself, I have encountered many as both a colleague and as a patient throughout my 35+ years in practice. Dr. James Black and staff are wonderful!”
“A great surgeon. He fixed a vertical hernia, used the same incision I already had from bariatric surgery. He did an apron removal, liposuction on lower flanks, waist and upper buttocks. I will be 53 soon. With all the weight loss and age I’m ready for the girls to be lifted they are going south. I highly recommend Dr.Black.”
“I am A plastic surgeon and I had the opportunity to observe Dr. Black operate on my aunt who had An emergency. He was so reassuring and he was so smooth in the operating room but he deserves many compliments from a colleague like myself. All the plastic surgeons in the world I don’t think anyone could’ve done a better job on her he is truly a treasure and his patients are very fortunate like my aunt”
“My experience with Dr. James Black was Horrible. All this doctor wanted was my insurance money. He did not care about me at all. He did a lot of stuff to my breast that I did not need, just to get more money from my insurance.. doctor Black is a liar and I trusted this doctor with my breast surgery and he damaged my breast . I've been living a nightmare sense he did my surgery 2 years ago. Because of him I haven't been able to find another doctor that I could trust to fix my Breast. What he did to me is a long story, but all I can say is that he cut my stomach skin to put on my breast when that was not needed so now I have a breast that looks ugly and a scar on my stomach with lumpy dead tissue because of what he did, there's so much more to my situation, but all i want to do is, to warn people about him. I only gave him 1 star because it wouldn't let me post without a rating! He deserves nothing!”
