Patient and Professional Dr. and Staff - Minneapolis, MN

"Dr. G and his staff made my surgery experience a wonderful one! I had been considering breast augmentation for years but really wanted a natural looking implant. He and the nurses were so patient and attentive to my needs and concerns. They even allowed me to come in and re-size a few times before my surgery date to be certain I would get the result I wanted. The surgery was quick and easy, I was back to a modified work schedule at 5 days! Their professionalism and caring bedside manner is outstanding and I would highly recommend Dr. G."

Excellent - Minneapolis, MN

"Dr. Gervais and his staff were extremely helpful during the process of my very first surgery. They took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed or unimportant.

Peace of Mind is Priceless - Minneapolis, MN

"After researching many Twin Cities plastic surgeons and consulting in person with the ones that made the short list, I found one of them stood out: Dr. Gervais. Not only did he have more experience than the others, he had the best before-and-after pictures I had seen, and lots of them. Placing my confidence in Dr. Gervais turned out to be an excellent decision. Going in to each of my surgeries with reasonable expectations, the results exceeded what I had imagined I would look like every time. How deeply impressed I am by his technical skills and dedication to achieving optimal results cannot be overstated. I consider myself fortunate to have found Dr. Gervais mainly because the peace of mind he brings me is priceless. I know that with him all of my investments in the process of surgery will be worthwhile."
