I Had a Great Experience
I had a face/neck lift on 9/23/2025. It was wonderful. I stayed awake during the procedure. Amy, Angie the nurses were fantastic. Dr. Gruber did a great job. My pain level was a 3, which I was told by others that it would be a 9. I would highly recommend Dr. Gruber and her staff.
Una experiencia excepcional de principio a fin Desde el primer día que llegué a la clínica de la Dra. Meegan Gruber, supe que estaba en el lugar correcto. El trato que recibí fue cálido, humano y lleno de profesionalismo. La Dra. Gruber es una cirujana con una experiencia impresionante, pero además con una energía y una empatía que se sienten desde el primer momento. Se toma el tiempo de explicar todo con claridad, te escucha, te entiende y te hace sentir completamente segura. Su

Arm Liposuction
I had arm liposuction with Dr. Gruber at the end of February 2025. I flew in from Michigan and had a truly wonderful experience. After losing nearly 100 pounds, my arms remained the same despite all my efforts. I work out consistently five days a week and have tried every arm exercise imaginable—pushups, weightlifting, and more—but nothing made a difference. I’m so glad I chose to move forward with the procedure and honestly wish I had done it sooner. The entire staff was incredible
I truly believe that Dr Gruber was the only doctor who could have done the exact procedures I needed with such amazing results! What I wanted: LIPO OF KNEES, CALVES, ANKLES WITH FAT TRANSFER TO THE BREASTS. Dr Gruber went well beyond my expectations and did a beautiful job on every aspect of the surgery. I had breast cancer which resulted in a double mastectomy. I did not want implants or flaps, but rather wanted to just use my own fat to rebuild the horrific area formerly

Strongly Recommend Dr. Gruber!
Dr Gruber and her staff were very compassionate throughout the process of my Lipo 360. I have struggled with fat at my midsection and back since menopause (early 50's). Jeans and pants never fit properly. I had such a terrible body image and when I looked in the mirror each morning I actually hated myself. I did the awake surgery. For me there was some pain. She removed 8 lbs of fat. She was so caring and the results are amazing! It has been two months since surgery.

Really understood what I wanted
I’ll start by saying I’m in the healthcare field so I’m super peculiar when it comes to choosing my providers. I also did a few other consults around Tampa and after meeting with Dr Gruber, I booked my surgery before even leaving the office. Her and her team made me feel so comfortable the entire time, helped answer all of my questions and really understood what I wanted. I chose to do my surgery awake and it went great. Also, the office is decorated so well, it’s clean and organized.
I had a great experience with Dr. Gruber. Even though I only live around 2 hours away, I was only able to do virtual consultations and didn't get to meet Dr. Gruber in person until the day of surgery. Let me just tell you, if you want a surgeon that knows what she is doing, has high standards for her procedures and staff members, and wants to do the best job possible, choose Dr. Gruber. My surgery went amazing! I'm only around 3 days post op and pretty much completely out
Fantastic. The team of Dr Gruber is amazing. All the staff are professional, courteous and very kind. They make sure I am okay before, during, after surgery and follow ups. I can see and feel my arms have definition. My arms used to look like a paddle to kill a catfish, now my arms look slimmer, well defined and toned. I love it. I will come back again for another procedure in the future. The clinic of Dr Grubber is highly recommended!
Excellent Doctor. My results were above my expectations. I had an arm lift and came back for leg lift and liposuction 360 around my knees. It has been 2 months for my arms and 2 days since my leg (which was scheduled to do each leg on separate days). The staff and Dr. Gruber were amazing. I decided to do awake surgery which was the best for me. No brain fog at all! I highly recommend Dr. Gruber for her skills and compassion. If you want a fantastic look that is above your

My experience with Dr. Gruber and her staff was wonderful. I researched surgeons extensively, and traveled over 6 hours to be seen at her practice. The level of care they show is outstanding, and her work speaks for itself- beautiful! Dr. Gruber and her staff were extremely attentive both before, during, and after my surgery. I had an awake tummy tuck, and was very nervous going into it, but Dr. Gruber and her staff put me at ease, never rushed me, and explained everything thoroughly.
