After having 2 kids with the last 1 being a c-section, I was depressed about my stomach so I just let myself gain weight. I got up to 235 lbs & a size 24 when I decided to buckle down and loose the weight. I got down to 175/ size 12 & was still miserable because of my stomach. I saw a couple of surgeons and decided on Dr. Al. I just want to say that here I am, almost 3 months after my tummy tuck and lipo suction and I have NEVER in my entire life been as happy as I am now with my body! Dr. Al is my favorite man right now and I am forever greatful for his miracle hands that made me look and feel like a million dollars. He also did some botox on my forehead and I now have no "#11" between my brows. No one believes that I'm about to turn 40 and my current friends tell me I now look like I'm in the 29-32 year old age range.
The recovery was not as horrible as I thought it was going to be. It WAS difficult but I anticipated worse. My downtime from work was 2 weeks. I also used my Care Credit card for the procedure and am now enjoying the easy payments. THANK YOU, DR. AL & STAFF FOR MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A FRIEND & NOT JUST ANOTHER PATIENT.

Dr. Al is not your "smily" kind of Dr. but he is TRULY AMAZING. He has made me the happiest woman. He is incredibly professional and made me feel VERY comfortable at my consultation. I was very nervous to take off my clothes in front of him but he made me so comfortable. He knew exactly what I needed done and what I wanted and didn't make me feel like he was trying to push any extra services on me. He was very knowledgeable and had an answer to all my questions. He came off as very confident and secure in his work but not cocky like some Dr's. I would HIGHLY reccomend Dr. Al for any services you need! I can't wait to pay off my bill so I can go back and have my breast augmentation done!
