Andrew Gear, MD

50 years old here and I have been wanting a Tummy tuck for years . I had cancelled a few years ago due to sudden health issues and almost cancelled this time from anxiety but I am SO GLAD I DID THIS FOR MYSELF! I am blown away at my results. The staff here are amazing. Nurse Lee was outstanding at explaining the aftercare , calming anxieties , and answering any questions. Dr. Gear has exceptional bedside manners , takes his time and thoroughly explains the process and what to expect . I had been stalking his Instagram for a few years which is one of the reasons I chose him . He’s very knowledgeable and is literally an artist. Also GET the lymphatic massages, the massage therapist there Wendy is amazing . Highly recommend Providence plastic surgery.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Gear as my surgeon. I felt supported by him and the nurses through every step of the process. They also provided all of the information that I needed to prepare for before and after surgery. After undergoing surgery, I can genuinely say that the team at Providence Plastic Surgery is the very best- the anesthesiologist, nurses, and Dr. Gear made me feel very comfortable and safe, which calmed all of my nerves before surgery. I’m 3 days post-op now from a BL without augmentation and absolutely thrilled about my results because they look exactly like I hoped for and the scars are very clean lines. I am so grateful for Dr. Gear and his team and I can’t wait to see how my results progress over time!

Dr. Gear and his staff were absolutely amazing. All of my questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner. They made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process of my procedure, and I could not be happier with my results! I am truly thankful to Dr. Gear and his staff and will be recommending to everyone.

Dr.Gear is amazing. I’ve lost about 100 pounds and my body was a mess. I was thinking of going to Miami for a BBL and then I came across him. Turned out he suggested not just a BBL but to have some skin removed from my hips as well to maximize my results. I am amazed at my body transformation. I’m comfortable wearing dresses and clothing I use to have to wear a shaper to feel cute in. He changed my perspective of my body. Him and his stuff are so helpful and they are amazing. They answered all my questions and replied in a speedy matter. I would recommend their team 100 times over.

I am almost 3 months post op and I am happy with my results. I went to Dr. G with major self esteem issues due to one butt check being bigger and wider than the other and my flanks/laterals not being sloped or shaped the same. I also felt my overall butt was HUGE, mishaped and too striper like. I never wanted the dancer or IG look I was given by a Miami doctor but felt stuck with it. I tried to have this corrected by several other doctors who ALL told me I was being delusional and that there was nothing wrong. They claimed I was looking for perfection. The nerve! However, each doctor still took my money and still performed what they called corrective or revision surgery, with me only to see the same things after surgery and thousands of my hard earned dollars spent. That was until I found true compassion and understanding in Dr. Gear. I don't live in North Carolina so I sent in my photos and after reviewing them he said he could CLEARLY see most of my areas of concern. He saw the HUGE uneven butt and said he could improve it. While he couldn't clearly see my flank complaints he said he would try to improve them based on what I said I was seeing wrong. He also suggested I get a tummy tuck to improve my overall appearance. Yes I needed a tummy tuck but was hesitant to add it because of the extra down time. Dr. G even added a few extra perks that I didn't pay for. He added lipo of my upper back, revision of a scar I had on my butt from a previous hematoma removal and a recovery goodie bag. The recovery bag is the truth; it has arnica, bromelain, all your recovery vitamins and scar cream. No need to order all that stuff separately. He added these things soley in an effort of a better overall appearance. Who does that as a courtesy just because they want you to look your best? After my surgery I woke up with a smaller shapelier butt and both cheeks are finally the same size. Whoopee! I also have a nice taunt stomach to to top things off. The before and after care of Providence Plastic Surgery's team is unmatched. Dr. Gear personally reached out to me in the days before my surgery and multiple times since. Ladies after care is important. A lot of doctors take your money, perform surgery and NEVER reach out afterwards ESPECIALLY if you traveled out of state or the country. Dr. Gear genuinely seems concerned if I'm happy with my results. There are a lot of doctors who perform this type of surgery and the pricing is all over the place. Literally from a few thousand to double digit thousands but please don't let pricing be your biggest factor as there are too many other things to consider. You can leave the country, go to Miami or anywhere in between but if you are considering Dr. G I personally think he's worth the extra bucks and the trip to NC. I will update with pictures soon. You can also see before photos of me in one of my other reviews under this same name/page.

I got a Tummy Tuck, BBL, Upperback liposuction, Upper stomach and chin liposuction October 2021 The Tummy Tuck is great, the BBL is good. My upper back and chin looks like it was never liposuction. I don’t know what kind of liposuction equipment he use by I have rolls in my back and still a double chin. At my 1 year follow up appointment he said he would redo my back and chin. I called to make that appointment and he denied it. I suggest you record your follow up appointment. Im not a plus sized woman so I dont know why the liposuction didn’t work. Im very dissatisfied with that because was alot of extra money added towards my procedure with absolutely no results in my back and chin.

The entire team at Providence PS was incredible to work with. My nurses Tina and Amanda followed up with every question I had, made me feel comfortable & at ease with the whole process. I trusted them completely and that’s extremely important for a cosmetic surgery. Doctor Gear was very upfront about the process, gave me realistic and appropriate options for what I wanted (athletic, dancer) and the lifestyle I have. He was adamant about making them look natural and fit my proportions and look I imagined. Did an incredible job with what he selected and the surgery itself. I was referred to them by a friend and I will happily be the next to refer them to my friends.

Dr. Andrew Gear and his entire staff did a wonderful job on the Liposuction procedure that I had him perform on me. Dr Gears entire staff was very kind, courteous and helpful from my initial consultation meeting with them through the end of my recovery process. I am VERY HAPPY that I made the decision to hire Dr Gear to perform this surgery. I would highly recommended Dr Gear and Providence Plastic Surgery to anyone that is looking for a Plastic surgeon. They were FANTASTIC.

Best experience ever. From the surgery coordinator Jodie ,to the nurse Tina who always answered all questions, to the office staff, every one was very professional. When it's come to DR Gear, not only he is very good easing your fear of surgery, he does an excellent job. I had my tummy tuck about 6 weeks ago, even the result is far to be final because of the swelling. Guess what?I am very satisfied. My recovery went very smoothly.Went back to work after two weeks. DR Gear is very friendly and professional.This is the place to go for your cosmetic needs. Thanks DR GearCan't wait to see my final results.

The office is beautiful. The reception staff is so professional and kind. The wait time is never long. The consult was so comfortable, and he listened and gave realist expectations. He will not give you a procedure that does not work for your body. Each step was such a pleasure. They also provide an app for direct, fast responsiveness direct to Dr Gear, and to his Nurse staff. Pictures of a issue can be uploaded if you have one. Billing questions, medication questions, etc. Dr. Gear is the best in my eye here in North Carolina. Very personable, funny, and such a professional. Bedside manner is great if when I asked rhetorical questions at time cause I was nervous. My results are amazing. And, I have referred many. I am going back in 6 months for more. Providence Plastic Surgery is an top notch, professional practice. With the staff to match!
