Highly Recommend Dr.Joseph Thornton for any of your Plastic Surgery Needs
Just recently had surgery done with Dr. Joseph Thornton at Advanced Plastic Surgery in Newark, Delaware. From my first consultation all the way through to my post op appointments so far everything has been Amazing! He was very thorough in explaining my options as well as his recommendations.

20 + Female. No Kids. Ready for Change! - Newark, DE
I was nervous about selecting a doctor in DE since their are little reviews within this area. However, I knew I wanted to be close to home and within an affordable range. All my consultations went well, the day or surgery wasn't too bad. I was shocked of the fullness of my results at the beginning, however that was due to swelling and other factors. So far, I'm healing great and can't wait to see my final results!

Grammy Makeover -
I am 59 and mother of 4 adult children. I breast feed all 4, put them through college and now it's time for doing something for myself. I am a cancer survivor and have been cancer free for 20 years and that is why I have a left scar on my abdomen. So I am on this journey and have had approximately 6 consults. I am close to a decision with what surgeon I am using. I am looking at a mini Facelift, upper eyelid bleph, breast lift, TT & lipo. Updated on 26 Nov 2014: Updated on

Great experience so far
So far him and his staff have been great. Arrived for my consult and was taking back and seen him only 12 min late. He even apologized. He was thorough with explaining everything to me. Very down to earth and just easy to talk to. Made me feel completely comfortable. Thigh lift and arm lift are booked for December 2018. I'll write another review after surgery!

Super Mommy 36, 4 Kids Time for a Better Me for Them!
My journey started at 240. I’m 227 now and very comfortable, Looking to get a tummy tuck, lipo, and BBL and so excited.
