John C. Pedersen, MD, FACS

I had a fantastic experience with Akron Plastic Surgeons and Dr. Peterson. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. Dr. Peterson is a highly skilled surgeon who ensured all my questions were answered and that I felt comfortable throughout the process. A special shoutout to Sarah, Amy, Vicki, and Natalie, who provided exceptional care and support. I highly recommend Akron Plastic Surgeons to anyone looking for top-notch expertise and

For the past 1 year prior to surgery, I was suffering from symptoms of breast implant illness; painful joints, fatigue, myalgias, frequent upper respiratory illness, dry skin and itching, poor running and work out endurance. My implants were put in ~ 10 years ago. I eliminated other causes of illness with blood work, X-rays, and care from specialist including orthopedics, sports medicine, primary care, and chiropractic care. By the time I sought out Dr Pedersen for consultation

I was referred to Dr. Pedersen by my OBGYN. I felt comfortable with him the moment I walked into his office. His staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They were helpful and understanding from the beginning and have been throughout this whole process. Tomorrow is my three week check up and I couldn't be happier. I had my breast implants removed, with a breast lift and I also had a tummy tuck with muscle repair. I'd be lying if I said it was an easy recovery, but

I cannot thank Dr Pedersen more!!! It has taken me YEARS to figure out what was wrong with my stomach. Years of my doctor telling me I was obese, calories in vs calories out, exercise more. I have gone through a number of laparoscopic surgeries. Had an ovary removed, my gallbladder removed. Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Been under the treatment of a chiropractor. Nothing was working. Told maybe my pain level was just too low, take more Tylenol and watch your calories and exercise

I’m a 36 year old mom of 4. I’m an avid runner and gym rat, but after 4 pregnancies, 3 c-sections and horrible diastasis recti, my abdomen was never going to look normal again without some type of intervention. After researching several surgeons in the area, as well as having more than one consultation, I chose Dr. Pedersen. He has wonderful bedside manner and takes the time to really hear your concerns. He will make you feel at ease with your exciting, although rather scary decision.

I have been working out for years but still unable to get rid of my big belly. I guess I thought after all these years, this was as good as it was going to get. I looked at reviews and pictures online but could not find someone my age having this done. I scheduled a consultation with Dr, Pederson because he has a great reputation. He assured me that my age was not an issue as I was fit and healthy. Since then, I am positively over the moon, ecstatic with the results. This doctor

1-week post-op. (Abdominoplasty, Breast lift with silicone implants, Lipectomy of hips, and posterior flanks). Extremely impressed with my procedure! I am still very swollen and understand with time and patience my results will keep enhancing. Dr. Pedersen and the staff made this experience worthwhile! Everything was explained and presented professionally.  After 2 large pregnancies and two c-sections, I desperately needed attention on my abdominal wall and tummy (and the

I am 45 and have 4 kids. I had a 3 finger separation and a pouch in my lower belly. I found Dr. Pedersen to be direct and answered all of my questions. I had researched a lot of information about what to expect with a tummy tuck, so I felt like I was prepared, but Dr. Pedersen made sure to ask if I had any other concerns. I did ask about liposuction, but he said I didn’t need it. I really liked that instead of pushing me into a procedure I didn’t need, he gave me his opinion

I am 27 years old and have 3 kids. After my pregnancy 3 years ago, I was left with diastasis recti. I was able to get my 5 finger width seperation down to about a 2 with exercise and it somehow blew back out to 4. I have been waiting patiently for 3 years for this and feel very excited for my upcoming surgery. My experience with Dr. Pederson has been fantastic so far and I can't wait to see what he can do. Updated on 25 Sep 2020: Had my tummy tuck yesterday and am doing fantastic.
