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.

Yay! It's official! I have a touch up surgery scheduled for March 17th! I've maintained my weight, but theoretically I should have lost weight after the fat was taken out the first time. So, this time I will continue to lose instead of maintain after the procedure. I didn't think Dr. S would do it originally, but after I told him how much I have exercised and dieted to maintain, he believed that I was trying and in it for the long run. I must have struck a soft spot, because he's doing the touch up at no charge!

The second surgery should be covered at no additional charge and the nurses and doctor are already knowing that I will be requesting one.

3 months post procedure- still swollen and the swelling still gets worse at night. I posted new pictures taken in the morning.

Dr. Shideler is a fabulous doctor that spends as much time with the patient as you want. He returns phone calls promptly and spends all the time you need on the phone. He is highly experienced, personally knows the inventor of tumescent lipo, Dr. Klein, and also trains other doctors on this technique. He is highly professional, doesnt sugar coat things, and has performed over 1000 tumescent smartlipo procedures. He is booked out 2 months in advance at Sono Bello in Sacramento.
