Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

List of Items in Preparation for Procedure
I am 6 days away from my tummy tuck and lipoma tumor removal. It's starting to get real but I am not near as nervous as I was two years ago when preparing for my breast reduction. Reading all the posts have certainly put me in a better position to prepare. I have purchased or completed the following:
Elevation Bed (with head and foot raising ability)
Overbed table (really cool...straddles bed, up to a king size)
Palmers Vitamin E Oil
Silicone Sheets for scars
Bandages
Spanx
Movable "snake" to hold iPhone/iPad
Updated Will, Living Will, HIPPA, Medical and Durable Power of Attorney
Life Insurance Policy Update/Review (should've done years ago but I'm set now)
Lined up people to come help me each day and night for at least 5 days
Stepped down from my church ministries for a while and got substitutes for that time period
Downloaded apps (Sign Language, French) to watch and learn during down time
Asked my prayer warrior groups for a little uplift in prayer on that day (and afterwards)
And, finally, took the dreaded "Before" pictures of my disgusting self and have posted.

2-year Post Op update
My procedure was done almost 2 years ago, Dec. 17, 2015. It was by far the best thing I did for my body...my back, my shoulders! Here is a recent pic.
Provider Review
Dr. Schuster seems like a genuinely caring man with a servant heart to help less fortunate children, especially with facial deformities. That spoke volumes to me because character and integrity are equally important as precision. His numerous awards and credentials were convincingly impressive as well. I trust that he will do a great job. I'll keep everyone updated. After seeing him in many post-op visits, I have to be emphatic about his great "bedside manner", humor and genuine care. He takes the time to answer all my questions and calm my fears.
