Vaser Hi Def Lipo - Unbelievable & Exciting - Scottsdale, AZ

Vaser Liposuction
"See above. Not all surgeons are the same! Just because they're Plastic Surgeons, that doesn't mean that they all can acheive the same results. To acheive great plastic surgery results will require plastic surgeon's innate ability to see beauty. Some are artisits and some are mechanics, if you want an artist that is also very well trained, then Dr. S is your man!"

Everyone in Scottsdale Has Implants, but Mine Look Better! - Scottsdale, AZ

Breast Implant Revision
"I know Dr S has the reputation for being the face lift guru, but I think he is also the "go to guy" for breast augmentations. I will say his schedule was kind of booked when I had my surgery. I didn't have a wait for my consultation, but I did have to schedule a bit out for my surgery - so if you want to do this book your consultation ASAP."

My Rhinoplasty and Blepharoplasty is Money Well Spent - Scottsdale, AZ

Rhinoplasty
"Dr S is an excellent surgeon, but what I believe sets him apart from other plastic surgeons is his visualization skills (artistic), after listening to your request, he offers solutions which are logical and easy to understand... he and his staff made me feel very comfortable from the initial consultation right through post op... it was all very simple. I don't believe there are any doctor's that would have been able to address this request as successfully as Dr. S... the results are exceptional."

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! - Scottsdale

Facelift
"I normally do not take the time to compose a testimonial. As a CEO, I spend 12/14 hour days, 7 days a week managing my company; thus, time is a valuable commodity and I have to use it wisely. However, in this instance, I decided that my time would be well spent in apprizing people that are considering plastic surgery to consider an outstanding team of professionals lead by Dr. S Elective Surgery or not comes with risks; thus, it is imperative that you consider any procedure that you wish to undertake carefully. This is the reason that I decided to post this message, in order to provide the reader with a factual account of what my wife (Joyce) and I experienced when having surgery performed by Dr. S and the outstanding care we received from his team of professionals. It is serious business when selecting a surgeon, as there are a plethora of physicians to choose from; make the wrong choice and you can regret it for life. You wonder, how do I know if so and so is the right surgeon to perform my procedure or procedures (if you are having more than one). The doctor you choose may be proficient in one type of procedure, but not another; and if you are like Joyce and me, who had *multiple procedures completed; if possible, you would like to have the same surgeon at the same location performing all of them. You check with friends and family to find out if they have any recommendations; but, even if they do, how can you be certain that the surgeon that they recommend is capable of performing what you desire to have done. After all, what gives them the expertise to advise you? Therefore, you must make an intelligent decision by conducting your own research; even though, you take your friends/family recommendations into consideration. It’s your body, so don’t take any chances. *NOTE: I had an endoscopic browlift, facelift, blepharoplasties and a rhinoplasty. Joyce had a endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasties, facelift, upper and lower lip lifts, and fat injections to the jawline with some perioral dermabrasion."

Best Decision I Ever Made!!! Vaser Hi Def Liposculpture - Scottsdale, AZ

Vaser Liposuction
"I highly recommend Dr. S for many reasons: He is very attentive to your needs. His staff is amazing, all very nice, proffesional, and geniune. Something very important about Dr. S is that, he is very down to earth and not arrogant. Like most plastic surgoens I have encountered."

Facelift - More Than Worth It! He is the Best, and I Am Glad He is in Scottsdale.

"He made me look beautiful. He is gifted. All surgeons can operate, but not all surgeons have the innate gift of the art of aesthetics. Dr. S possesses that gift so you can rest at ease, your results will be those desired...and more than your expectations. Mine were, and my life has been enhanced. I am a physician, and I cannot say enough about how I would only trust my face to Dr. S."

Vaser Hi Def Truly Exceeded my Expectations - Scottsdale

Vaser Liposuction
"Dr. S and his wonderful staff told me everything I needed to know about the procedure. I had to really try to think of questions to ask. After the procedure was completed Dr. S has had me come into the office regularly. He and his staff are so excellent. They are always very helpful, friendly, and professional. I never felt awkward discussing the different things I wanted to have done or questions I had after the Hi Def. It has been 3 months since I had the Vaser Hi Def procedure done and everyday I’m happy that I did it."
