  • 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 am two weeks post op. I had a breast...

I am two weeks post op. I had a breast lift/augmentation and got an extended tummy tuck. I haven't seen all my results yet, but I know they are going to be amazing. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Pousti. I can't imagine now, ever going to another doctor. I am so glad to have found him.

5 years ago, I weighed 100 lbs. heavier than I am right now. It took me four years to get the weight off through diet and exercise. I went to see Dr. Pousti in December 2011 just so see what he had to say. I had gotten his name from a previous patient that raved about him and decided to see what he had to say. What I learned from him and about myself in the process is amazing. IOne of my favorite things about his office is that you get to meet actual people that have had actual surgeries and have real results. I could actually ask all the questions that I wanted to real people!! What a great concept!! It impressed me the most that he left me in the room with these patients and allowed me to ask all the questions that I wanted. LOVE IT!

It took me 4 visits to get all my questions answered and to calm my nerves about having surgery and doing the right thing for me and my body. I worked through a lot of emotions during that time, too. When you have been the "fat girl" for all of your life, it takes a process to learn how to be the "skinny" girl and to view yourself as that way as well. I really thought that if I just went to gym a few more times a week or just did a different type of exercise that my body would become one of those amazing bodies you see. It wasn't until I spoke to Dr. Pousti that I learned that the skin wasn't going to do anything else, no matter how many times I went to the gym or no matter how many marathons that I run.

So, after some serious consideration, I decided to have the surgery, and I can't wait to see the results. Every day Dr. Pousti's office has called to see if I have needed anything and if I am doing ok. Dr. Pousti even stopped by my house to check on me. WOW! Tell me where you find a doctor like that in this day and age!!!! He has called my house twice to be sure I am doing fine. I am so impressed with how amazing his office has been. They were very thorough in making sure I had all the information that I needed and was make sure I didn't have any last minute questions.

If you are in need of a great surgeon, Dr. Pousti is it. Definitely well worth a consultation! Thank you, Dr. Pousti!

I am scheduled to have surgery in a month, and I have to say the care that I have received from Dr. Pousti so far, is AMAZING! He has to be one of the kindest and most thoughtful doctors I have ever had. He has been incredibly patient answering all of my many questions, and he has showed amazing gentleness with my anxiety of having surgery done. He has never made me feel as though he had some place else to be or another more important patient to see. I love that he is selective in who he works on and that he isn't just worried about his pocketbook, but that we, his patients, get amazing results. He makes you feel as though you are one of his family. You are one in a million, Dr. Pousti!
