While it’s always been a dream of mine, I was uncertain about going through with the “Mommy Makeover” surgery (tummy tuck and breast implants). But, after meeting Dr. V and his exceptional nursing team, I immediately felt confident that I was in capable hands. Throughout the process, I had numerous questions, and Dr. V always made himself available to thoroughly address each one. He took the time to ensure I fully understood every aspect of the procedure, never rushing through our discussions. At each of my pre-operative appointments, I felt reassured, and Dr. V made certain I left feeling completely at ease and well-informed.
On surgery day, the surgical center at Virtua was outstanding. The staff provided a warm, comforting environment, and they were quick to recognize and address my pre-operative anxiety, which was greatly appreciated. Dr. V spent a significant amount of time with me in pre-op, asking if I had any last minute questions or concerns and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. Additionally, I was particularly reassured to know that Blair, a trusted member of Dr. V’s team, would be with me in the operating room during the procedure.
The surgery went perfectly. From start to finish, I felt completely supported. Dr. V is not only skilled but also genuinely caring. What really stood out to me was the level of follow-up after the surgery. Dr. V's office called daily to check in on me, making sure I was healing well and addressing any questions I had. It really gave me peace of mind during the recovery process.
One of the things that truly sets Dr. V apart is his commitment to his patients. Over a weekend, I experienced some post-operative pain and was surprised when Dr. V personally called me to check on how I was feeling. After our conversation, he encouraged me to go to the ER for a CAT scan to ensure everything was fine. I was completely taken aback when Dr. V came to the hospital, ordered the necessary tests, and remained in constant contact with the ER doctor throughout my stay. Fortunately, my complications were not related to the surgery and subsided soon after, but the fact that Dr. V took the time out of his weekend to personally come to the hospital and ensure my well-being speaks volumes about his dedication and care for his patients.
Now to the important part! My end results have been truly amazing. I am beyond pleased with how my body looks and 3 weeks post-op, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Dr. V listened carefully to everything I said I wanted, and he “sculpted me” into exactly that—while maintaining a natural balance with the rest of my body’s shape.
I am incredibly grateful for the professionalism, care, and attention I received from Dr. V and his entire team. I highly recommend Dr. V to anyone considering surgery, as my experience was nothing short of excellent.
