How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

(I had a Lower body lift AKA 360 TT, Muscle repair, hernia repair, and a Breast Lift)
My surgery was January 4th. I went to my pre op the day before, and had honestly walked in as a ball of nerves. After the APPT I felt even more comfortable (Dr. Mackenzie is a godsend). He answered every, and all questions I had plus some. He made sure I had my meds ready for the next day, and went in detail about how everything would go over. We arrived at 645 AM on the 4th to the surgical center. I was so sick over the what ifs? But I gained my strength. I had never been put to sleep or had any sort of general Anesthesia so my Anxiety (which I suffer from) was immense. The nurse quickly came in and began to chat with me, and truly made me feel at ease. She even put on my music of choice (which we joked about). She helped me a ton just to feel comfy. When doctor came in to do the markings he laughed at my musical choice, and that lead to quite a chat. Doctor discussed the markings he was doing, and made sure I was happy and ready to go. He again kept reminding me of the fact that I was in very good hands. Once all done I was laid down and wheeled into the OR. After I got in there everyone was so nice. Nurses talking to me, and the anesthesiologist made me feel very calm. He offered me the pre meds to make me feel at ease but I declined. He than put the mask on and asked me what to dream of, I said just to wake up and see my husband and kids again. He then said he will make sure it happens, and than I was asleep. Upon awaking I politely yet unbeknownst the me said "Good morning Sunshine, want some coffee". The next morning I was supposed to have my post op check in. I was so dizzy due to my lack of keeping hydrated that Dr. Mackenzie came to my hotel, and checked all incisions, and changed out all bandages. He also brought a giant bottle of coconut water. (Thanks doc) the pain has been manageable, and I have been able to reach the doctor, and his staff with each and every question. Also; his staff is wonderful and responds to all emails and calls in a timely manner. If you are looking for a doctor with amazing bedside manner, compassion for his patients, and is just as eager to get you the results you want than look no further. Dr. Douglas J. Mackenzie went above and beyond my expectations, and even at 12 days post op he is still 100% involved, and just as supportive/concerned when it comes to my recovery. He has a true love for his craft, and for his patients. If you haven't added him to your consult list, you should. You won't be disappointed!
