Compassionate care - can’t recommend them enough

Dr. Criswell is patient, warm, and understanding. She’s done a great job with my reconstruction. I’ve appreciated how well she explains what she’s doing, breaking everything down for me and helping me understand my next steps. She’s responsive even in off hours - and the entire team is great. This staff has been a true bright spot during a dark time in my life, and I can’t recommend them enough.

She did a perfect job with my surgery - the results are incredible

Dr. Criswell was amazing. She took plenty of time with me and answered my questions. She did a perfect job with my surgery and the results are INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much! It was so comforting to find a female surgeon for this procedure as well. Highly recommend.

Breast Augmentation (twice) - 2014 and 2020

I had breast augmentation in 2014 and again in 2020 after my implant ruptured. Both times Dr. Kara Criswell was my surgeon.This facility has a very attentive staff. Dr. Criswell is the best. She listens to what you want and tells you what can realistically be achieved. Her and the staff are very professional and always get back to you when you have concerns or questions. I have never had a bad experience with her. I have been using them since 2014 and I will never forget answering my door to find Dr Criswell had sent me flowers!! I am always confident I will get the best results and treatment from this office.

5 stars! I am extremely satisfied with everything

My experience with Dr. Kara and her staff has been amazing. They all are sooo sweet and helpful. After my breast reduction, she continued to call and check to see how I was doing. My paperwork for my job was filled out and sent in quickly. I am extremely satisfied with everything.

Dr. Kara is an Amazing Body Sculptor

Dr. Kara Criswell is amazing! Not only in the results she provides, her artistic abilities, but also her bedside manners are impeccable. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Kara:) I had a Tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo to the flanks. I cannot stop looking at my body in the mirror; not in vanity, but because I can't believe this is my body!!! She did an awesome job at sculpting me.

Dr. Kara Criswell has been a blessing to me

Dr. Kara Criswell has been a blessing to me through a very difficult time. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, I was referred to her by my surgeon. She prioritized my case, meeting with me the same day I called her office and her level of care remained consistent throughout my long journey. I had a small complication after my surgery (unpreventable), and Dr. Criswell and a member of her team opened her office on a holiday weekend to see me. When COVID hit and after the offices reopened, every room was extremely clean and contained an air purifier. Last, but definitely not least, the quality of work is amazing. I could not be happier with the outcome. Perfection. Words cannot express my gratitude.

The best in her field! She has always treated me with the utmost respect and kindness

Dr. Kara is the best in her field! I have been with her for awhile due to complications from breast cancer/ double mastectomies. She has always treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. I have also worked closely with two of her nurses, Annie and Jessica, and they are also top notch. If you are looking for any type of plastic surgery, and you want the best results, Dr. Kara is who you need to be seeing! Cara Mullis

Breast Reduction and Lift After Lumpectomy

Having breast can be scary. Dr. Kara Criswell made my experience with breast reduction and lift for symmetry wonderful. I am super picky and she hits all the marks! Stellar bedside manner and personality. She answers every question and takes as much time as you need to feel comfortable and confident. Her surgeon skills are top notch! I highly recommend her for ANY procedure. She blessed my life and can do the same for you. She is very passionate about helping you to look and feel your best. It is obvious. Love her! Updated on 3 Nov 2020: Healing is coming along nicely. I am amazed at the results. My left breast was at least two times smaller than the right due to radiation. They look better every day. Pain is very minimal. Just the expected healing pains... small twitches here abs there. I will post before and after photos soon. Kimberly

OMG couldn’t be more happy!

First, Dr. K. Criswell knows EXACTLY what she is doing. Very professional, confident, and excellent results. She knew what I wanted and followed through: to push breasts closer together and a size fuller, but looking natural. Plus, and this is a huge huge plus: every single employee I encountered was kind and considerate and acted like I was the only patient there! Surgery was a piece of cake, only needed one painkiller. Already healed! Amazing results. Updated on 13 Sep 2020: Less than three weeks out- healed amazing! Couldn’t be more pleased. Love my doctor. No issues - can’t wait to start wearing “real” bras. Straight jacket bra - Hindered my healing “scar” under breast. But, no pain, no issues, totally satisfied!
