The BEST!!!
Dr. Brian Derby is absolutely incredible. From the moment I met him, I felt completely comfortable sharing my vision, and his bedside manner is truly unmatched. I’m so grateful I made the decision to travel to see him. I know I wouldn’t have had this level of care or experience anywhere else. His expertise, compassion, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Simply, the BEST.
Where do I begin? I have so many wonderful things I can say about Dr. Derby. I have been a loyal patient of his for 11+ years and every single appointment is filled with compassion and knowledge. Dr. Derby’s commitment to excellence is magnified by his ability to inform, ask and relate to you and your wants, needs and expectations. He has always been honest and truthful and that brings an abundance of trust in him. 12 years ago I had a breast augmentation by another surgeon.

Best of the Best
I had been looking to get a breast reduction for 18 years and the time had finally come where I was ready to proceed with finding the right plastic surgeon to perform the procedure. With time comes emotional baggage so finding the right doctor who would truly care about what I wanted out of the surgery was paramount to me. From my first consult with Dr. Derby, it was evident that he was the perfect person to entrust with this transformational surgery. He leads with compassion

Mastopexy augmentation small implants
Anxiously awaiting my procedure date on May 1st. I had a consult with Dr. Derby who was very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I felt that I made the right choice choosing this surgeon. I decided on going with a mastopexy, anchor lift and small implants, the sizers I chose were 200cc. I believe my surgeon will use high profile since I am a very small person. I am currently 4'11 and 95-97 pounds. I have never had a surgery before so I am really afraid of going under anesthesia,

Thrilled with the results from my recent eyelid surgery and laser skin resurfacing
I am thrilled with the results from my recent eyelid surgery, and laser skin resurfacing, with Dr Derby. The eyelid procedure was something I’ve wanted to do for a few years, however I was hesitant as I have dry eye disease. After my initial consultation with Dr Derby, I knew I was in good hands! We discussed all of my questions, and I never felt rushed at all. He explained the surgery, and his plan to tailor it specifically for me due to my dry eyes. His knowledge, experience,

From beginning to end my experience has been wonderful
Dr. Derby and his staff are amazing! The level of care they show is outstanding. After major weight loss I was in need of a Tummy Tuck, I was highly recommended to Dr. Derby by my doctor. At my consultation I felt so welcomed and comfortable. He is so down to earth! Dr. Derby took time to go over my goals for my body. He said I was a candidate for a “Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck”. I soon after scheduled my surgery. He and his staff made sure I was completely prepared for my surgery.
