Absolutely Amazing Staff and Pain Free Surgery! - San Diego, CA

Posted by

Extremely personable staff that goes above and beyond their job. They always made me feel so at ease and did everything they could to make sure I was ready to go through this drastic surgery. I chose Dr. Shumway's office for a Rhinoplasty consultation about two years ago. When I recently went back they quoted me the same price as my consultation & that same day I booked my surgery.

Amazing Work, I Wouldn't Trust Anyone else to Touch my Face! - La Jolla, CA

Posted by

I have always been concious of my profile because of my nose. I felt this way since I was 12. I finally decided to do the surgery in my late 20's and I am so glad I went through it! Dr Shumway did an amazing job! My nose turned out just as he described, I was actually shocked by how good it really looked when it was done - way better than I could of imagined! Dr Shumway and his staff are wonderful, I always feel comfortable at their office & I know I am in good hands. I wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my face =)

Incredible TUBA & BOTOX Results from Dr. Shumway - La Jolla, CA

Breast Augmentation

I went to Dr. Shumway for an under-the-muscle transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) in March 2008, and nothing about the experience wasn't perfect; I simply listened to Dr. Shumway and did everything I needed to do to take care of myself. Also, since early 2008 I've visited Dr. Shumway's office to receive BOTOX injections in my forehead. Now I go to the office about every 4-5 months to eliminate the severe horizontal line that showed up during my early 20s, a line that I refer to as The Grand Canyon. The office is intimate and comfortable. I appreciate the variety of magazines and brochures in the waiting room, though I've never had to wait very long. Dr. Shumway is incredible, and "love" is a word I think I'd use to describe the way I feel about Mary (Surgical Assistant, EMT, Aesthetician), Jillian (Cosmetologist), and Kathy (Practice Manager). Really warm, knowledgeable people. I truly look forward to every appointment, which sounds cliché but is the truth.
