Jon Ver Halen, MD, FACS (license suspended)

Staff is amazing. I have my favorites, only cause I dealt with them most. But all were great. Shayne is the most amazing patient rep! So sweet! So kind! So helpful! Just AMAZING! Was so sweet to answer question after question and move things around, helpful, and just a sweetheart! Nurses are compassionate, sweet and you can tell they genuinely care! Dr. Sosa is funny, sweet, knowledgeable, and explains things so you really understand them. He’s also a no nonsense kinda guy. If you ask or request something that isn’t safe for you, not just him but the entire staff is like this, he will not put you in danger. He won’t “enhance” if it’s not safe. I encountered some difficulties, at no way at the expense of the staff or procedures, just how my body reacted, everyone was amazing. Everyone explained to me that not everyone is the same, which we all know this and may forget when it is you that is an exception, calmed my nerves, which was not an easy task for any of them, answered my questions (over and over) and I honestly felt they genuinely cared. Dr. Ver Halen is an Angel. He is a very patient man. I was very anxious at times, he took the time at every appointment to make sure I left feeling better than I did when I came in. I was never rushed through on an appointment. Never made to feel I was taking to much of their time. The app where you can ask questions or express concerns is amazing. The staff answers quickly. Sometime more than one staff member will answer. I have learned I’m not an easy patient, I honestly appreciate these people for their time, compassionate manners and over all just being good people helping me through this. I highly recommend.

I didn't know Dr Sosa was gonna slay me perfect!! These photos are 6 days post op. I couldn't be happier. I know it will only continue to get better. Plus, all the staff here have been super accommodating and nice. 5 stars!!!!

LOVE THIS OFFICE! Dr. Sosa, Dr. Ver Halen, Rachel, Dulce and Shayne are all absolutely amazing!! They walked me through my entire process! They are on top of everything! Even the front desk staff is sooo sweet! My procedure went so smooth and everything since then has been amazing! Even after the procedure they have answered every single question so quickly!! I highly recommend this office! You cant ask for a better staff!!!

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op 360 lipo with a mini tuck and I’m ecstatic about my results so far. I did my procedure awake and while it was more intense than I had expected, they were very helpful throughout. Natalie was my nurse and she was wonderful and super sweet. The staff has great communication and very friendly. My only complaint is that I got rescheduled for 3 months past my original date but they gave me a discount for waiting. Also I didn’t meet the surgeon at all until literally going into surgery. I’m not sure if that’s typical but I did my research and had friend recommendations and knew I still wanted to go with him. My consultation was with his wife Elaine who is very sweet and very informative. I have skin tightening treatments coming up in a week and look forward to my results improving as I heal. I’m still very swollen and should get better still.

I am about a week post op from 360 and arms liposuction, I am already loving my results. I can’t wait to see the final results in 6 months. I’ll definitely be posting pictures once all my swelling goes down.
Love, love, love Dr. Halen and the surgery room staff and the MT (forgot her name).

I can’t say enough good things about this doctor and his staff. They literally changed my life. I went in with abnormally large legs for my frame due to lipedema (which he identified) and had full liposuction of both legs. I have not worn shorts since I was a small child and keep my legs hidden at all times. I’m finally free. He literally sculpted new legs for me and gave me confidence I have never had. I will forever be grateful for his care, technique and passion for his craft. Elaine has been a God send and has guided me throughout this entire procedure. I am so thankful for everything they have done for me!!

My experience with Dr Ver Halen has been great. My 360 Lipo results so far have been more than I expected. I recommend Dr Ver Halen to do your next procedure. I was a little nervous about being awake during the procedure but everyone made me feel very calm. I think being awake during this procedure also helps with the recover time.

I absolutely love my experience with Dr Ver Halen, Elaine and their staff. I recommend them to everyone who is looking to have any kind of cosmetic surgery done. They really take care of you. Dr Ver Halen himself will call you the night after your procedure to check on you and give you his personal number for any questions or concerns you may have and he actually does answer. His office will also call you to check on you. They’re the sweetest people and I highly recommend them. If I ever need anything else I will definitely come back without hesitation.

On Tuesday (6/30) I went in for a mommy makeover I had a breast lift with implants, 360 Lipo and skin removal on my stomach. It wasn’t technically a mini tummy tuck because we didn’t tighten muscles. It wasn’t necessary per the doctors office since there wasn’t separation. We just removed the skin to tighten my lower belly.
The first night I was in a lot of pain. I was able to sleep through it. Overall each day is getting better. I think most of the pain is from the Lipo. I’m pretty bruised and swollen. I’m excited to see the final results but I really like the results so far!

I feel really good. Still dealing with some swelling and bruises. But overall, I’m surprised at my recovery time. I’m able to get along without much help now.

I’m excited to see what everything looks like once fully healed. I am thrilled with the shape of my waist! And the brief moments I get to sit without compression on, I love my stomach. It’s so smooth.

So, I feel amazing. I still have soreness in my back but OTC pain relievers have been okay. Doesn’t take it away completely but makes it tolerable. I’ve been getting lymphatic massages, which has really helped. All the steristrips are off and the incisions look good. I think they’ll heal well. Overall, I am so happy I made this choice for myself. I was comparing this to pictures when I was my lowest adult weight and my stomach now looks much flatter and I have curves that I didn’t then. I want to eat healthy and start getting back in shape. Before Covid, I had just finished my 54th marathon. It’s been hard to be motivated. But now I have a reason! It will only help my results.

Dr V. Did an outstanding job giving me back some of what eating cupcakes took away. I had very realistic expectations, which were totally surpassed. I am beyond impressed with my results only 2 weeks post op. The process was easy and his nurse Melissa was great.
