Provider Review
Dr. Richard Gregory is one those legendary doctors that are a dying breed. He has done several procedures to my face over the last 10 years and turned me from looking TWICE as old as I really was, into someone that is now, getting asked for ID when I am making an alcohol purchase! at 54 years of age! I am a 54 year old male and my last procedure was a long overdue lower face / neck lift and chin implant, as well as fractional lasering. Prior to this procedure, ten years ago when I was 44, he performed a coronal brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty and ablative laser (UltraPulse) treatment. Unfortunately, at that time, I did not address the lower part of my face because it not as aged as the upper. This first procedure ten years ago, yielded amazing results and first showed me his masterful skills. It required a second procedure as my skin is just so sun-damaged and loose but when it was all over, I looked half my age. Fast forward ten years to the present. The results of that ten-year old procedure were still holding but my lower face looked like I was over 100 years old and I had a "Benjamin Buttons" appearance with a youthful upper face but prehistoric-looking lower face. So back to Dr. Gregory I went. As much as I studied what can be done and what to expect, I had little hope for my neck. The neck skin I had was so loose, that even 90+ year old people I encountered actually had less sag than me. The recent procedure involved a chin implant, lower face / neck lift, and fractional CO2 laser. I must digress for a moment on the subject of lasers. Dr. Gregory's UltraPulse laser is no longer functional and it was a disappointment it could not be used. The current fractional lasers used today in the aesthetic surgery industry, are NOTHING like the more powerful, ablative CO2 lasers of the earlier day. Yes, the downtime and pain is more, but nothing used today compares to the UltraPulse results. That laser alone, can actually replace much of the surgical procedures, it's THAT good. Back to the recent procedure. The results were so amazing, that 2.5 months after surgery (after the swelling had gone down), I was on a 3 week vacation and went to a grocery store I had always gone to over the past 5 years when on holiday there. On THREE different occasions by three different cashiers, over the course of that time, I was asked for ID when purchasing alcohol. The first time, the cashier called over another cashier as neither could believe I was 54. Even if their policy is to card purchases when a customer may look up to 30 years old, this was 3 weeks of people thinking at worse, I was a 30 year old instead of a 54 year old! During the previous 5 years of using this SAME grocery store while on past vacations, I was NEVER asked for ID. The incision techniques Dr. Gregory used were unlike anything I had seen in medical papers and the way he went about the procedure was THE ONLY way he would have been able to achieve the incredible result he did in tightening my neck and lower face. I am certain that conventional incision maps would not have been able to tighten my neck and lower face. The areas that Dr. Gregory placed the incisions and the skill he used in cutting were such that you could not even see the incisions in most areas, 7 days post-op! I attribute this not to his board certification and all the papers he has written. This was pure genius and artistry. This was the result of being able to tackle a problem with unique solutions and then have the skill to execute the idea. THAT is what makes a phenomenal physician in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Gregory has never rushed me out of the office or made me feel I am taking too much of his time. He has been so generous and caring in providing a TOTAL treatment of my issues that I cannot even compare him to most other physicians I know of. Today, money and time is what most only care about in the medical field but being treated by Dr. Gregory was as if he was a family member ONLY concerned with doing all he could do to give me the best results and care. My review of Dr. Gregory is long overdue. He may have the reputation that he doesn't need internet reviews, but after all I have benefited from in his care, telling my story is the least I can do to honor the satisfaction and admiration I have for him, over these past 10 years.
