Carl W. "Rick" Lentz III, MD (retired)

Dr. Lentz and his staff were truly exceptional! They took care of all of my needs and wants and gave me the best look for my body when it came to implant size and shape. It was such a great experience to work with him, the ladies in his office, and Florida Hospital for the surgery. Would do everything over again without any changes. Dr. Lentz is very straight forward and makes you feel comfortable with all of the decisions for your surgery. No regrets at all!

Dr Lentz has done my tummy tuck, my implants, my explant and lift. His attention to sterilization and his skill are second to none. He is well respected by hospital staff and orher surgeons as well. I highly recommend Dr.Lentz.

I met with Dr. Lentz and knew he was the right doctor. He is professional and knowledgeable an I really believe he loves what he does. He was very thorough, answered all my questions, calmed my concerns, and assured me I would look great. I am SO happy with my results and couldn't have asked for a better outcome or doctor. His office is beautiful and his staff is wonderful. I never have trouble getting in touch with them and they happily answer all of my questions, big or small! I felt fully informed and prepared going into surgery. Dr. Lentz really goes the extra mile to make sure his patients are comfortable emotionally and physically. I went from a 34A to a 34D and I feel great! I would definitely recommend Dr. Lentz and his staff to anyone.

Ever since I was in middle school I've been waiting for my breast to grow naturally, at 21 years of age I finally decided to put matters into my own hands. I made my operation date in January and had the surgery in May. The procedure went smoothly and my breasts look great and I still see them getting better every week. I am so pleased with the quality of care I received from the staff. Heather was extremely sweet and welcoming to any question I had. Kimberly was amazing, she answered all my questions and was extremely attentive on operation day. I am so pleased to finally look the way I feel I should look at 21 being 5'7" weighing 130lbs. I definitely recommend this practice.

I had lost some volume after having my son. I just wanted that back so I met with Dr. Lentz. Him and his entire staff was great. Super friendly and I always felt comfortable while I was there. He made sure to spend time with me and answer all of my questions. Even if I asked them more than once. He never pressured me into going bigger or something I didn't want. He was amazing and I will send everyone I know to see him.

I am 5'1" at 128 lbs and I wear a size 7 jean. I went with the 400cc gels over the muscle with the Periareolar incision. This is important for anyone that wants an idea of a similar body comparison.

The transformation that Dr. Lentz has done with my body is nothing short of miraculous! He truly is a sculptor with tremendous vision and talent. Both Dr. Lentz and his staff have been amazing and attentive throughout my experience – surgical care and aftercare were exceptional over any I’ve experienced previously. After four pregnancies and three C-Sections, I would never have believed my body could be transformed into something so beautiful again. My breasts look amazing (lifted and nicely sculpted) and I no longer have pain from extensive sagging. My tummy is beautiful and flat, but the added bonus from repair of my stomach muscles is no more back pain!

I had a mole growing in my eyebrow. I decided to have it removed and decided to approach three surgeons for opinions. The first two explained that removing the mole would be very tricky and could leave a scar. They quoted me prices in the $2,500 to $3,800 range if I remember correctly. I walked into Dr Lentz's office and he demonstrated his ethical nature and creativity. He immediately said, "I think you will be trading the unsightly mole for a scar. I have a better idea. Let me shave it off. This will not make it go away, but will get you years of no longer noticing it." He also said he could take off three other moles the same way. I asked how much. $600. I was very skeptical and worried to let him do something the other two surgeons had not even mentioned as an option. I had been told Dr. Lentz was very good, so I let him do the procedure which he did that day. Wow. Fantastic result. Six weeks later, you would hardly know the mole was embedded in the eyebrow . The other moles we not only gone, to this day I cannot tell you where they were. The point is Dr. Lentz is NOT one of those people who "only have a hammer and treat everything as a nail". His creative approach solved my problem in a much more effective manner. No worry about a scar, mole no longer an issue. I strongly recommend using Dr. Lentz. I have been using his services for Botox and fillers for years now. I will be using his services for facial plastic surgery in the future. He is very very good.

I thought about getting a lift and implants for years. The day of my surgery I was a nervous wreck, but they helped to make me feel calm and safe. Bottom line, it was a great experience and I am super happy with the results. I wouldn't change a thing!

I was the very last of my friends to go “under the knife.” We talked about plastic surgery constantly – what we would do if we had the money. When I finally got around at age 42 to have a breast augmentation I approached it with absolute certainty. I knew what size (300 cc), what type (saline), what procedure (armpit), I wanted. I actually went into Dr. Lentz’s office for my consultation and told him how to do his job. He smiled, took my hand and said, “let’s talk.” We discussed every option, recovery time, scar potential, nerve sensitivity, and size until we were blue in the face. I tried on implant after implant – with a tee-shirt, without a tee-shirt for what seemed like hours on two separate occasions. He was very patient and allowed me the time to come to my own conclusion about what was best for me and my frame. I ended up going bigger than expected (450cc), selected silicone gel vs. saline and opted to use my nipples as the incision sites. Crazy, right? I must say that I have always had a hard time admitting that I was wrong . . . but NOT THIS TIME! I am amazed by my entire experience and my results. It’s been about 4 months since my surgery and I still wake up and say, “I was wrong - and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me.”
