Michael Bentley, MD, FACS

Nine years ago I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Bentley at PSAOM in Montgomery, AL. I was very apprehensive and their kindness and patience put me at ease. I was 30 when I finally worked up the courage to have it done and let me tell you I wish I would have had them wayyyyy before! I did silicone and went under the muscle, because I am very small-framed (5'5", 115 lbs). If I could go back, I probably would have got saline on top of the muscle. I am so heavy handed with my right hand, my right implant didn't ever "settle" like my left. It's not a super big deal but I'm pretty sure that had something to do with it. I'll be getting them redone in the next few years and plan to go just a little bigger. If you're on the fence about the procedure, DO IT YESTERDAY!!!! It's been almost 10 years of finally feeling confident in a bikini top, tank top, and summer dresses. Most of the time I don't even wear a bra, just silicone nipple covers. I promise you won't regret it, and I think Dr. Bentley did an excellent job. I wasn't sure where size I wanted so I just told him that I wanted to look proportional and not so big that if I walked into a room of people I knew, it wouldn't be glaringly obvious that I had got a boob job. I went from an honest a-cup to a full c. I might try to add photos later.

My experience with Dr. Bentley has always been what I believe to be what most people considering surgery would want to have!
He is completely honest realistic & is a person who I would recommend time & time again! He has done two of my surgery’s! Both are beyond my expectations! I am truly thankful that I found this wonderful Professional 11 years ago! If you want a natural almost perfect breast consider this amazing artist!! I am forever grateful!

After years of back, neck and shoulder pain due to my cumbersome breasts, I finally built up the courage to have a BR. A total of 1000 grams were removed from each breast, and there was an immediate difference in the amount if strain following my surgery. I'm excited for my journey towards a pain free life!

Found out in December that I was BRCA 2+. Had ovaries removed 2/29/16 and then did bilateral prophylactic mastectomies with tissue expanders. I had 4 drain tubes at first. One was removed 2 weeks after surgery. I had 240 ccs put in at time if surgery and then 120 ccs put in when 1st drain came out. Hoping to have other drains removed in the next week or 2. Expanders will be swapped out for implants hopefully by the fall.

Getting my rhinoplasty with this medical practice was, by far, the WORST experience I ever had. The staff was so incompetent that I even questioned the competence of my doctor. My surgery was scheduled months in advance however, One week before surgery I was told I needed to get bloodwork done or the surgery would be postponed. What should have been a simple call and fax turned into me having to call 10 times asking for the bloodwork orders to be sent so my surgery wouldn’t be canceled. I took my Christmas vacation early for this surgery, so I couldn’t afford to postpone it but no one seemed to care. Every time I called to get the bloodwork orders I was told something different. I missed work and class to get my bloodwork done, making multiple trips to the lab because sending the fax was too difficult. After the labs, I called asking to speak with Dr. Bentley because I no longer trusted the reliability of his practice and felt I made a mistake. Instead I got a different nurse that told me it was my fault for speaking to a “nurse” and not an “ER nurse” about the lab orders. How am I supposed to know who to talk to? On surgery day I was then given the WRONG ADDRESS in my preop paperwork and was sent to an empty facility across town for my surgery. I’m about to have surgery on my face. If that wasn’t stressful enough, I felt given their track record, I couldn’t trust any of the staff and even questioned Dr. Bentley by association. Laying on the operating table, all I could think was “I hope I am not making the biggest mistake of my life.” When you are paying thousands of dollars for a surgery you have looked forward to for years, that’s not supposed to be what goes through your mind. I felt like It was an episode of Botched where the patients talk about all the red flags they see yet continue with the procedure. I just prayed it wouldn’t be me. Going forward, I sobbed for the first 6 weeks about how my nose looks post op. My septum was straight, I just wanted my nose thinner. Now, my nose is thinner and my septum is very crooked. I am equally as insecure as when I started, if not more, and now I’m also out $7,000. Trust your gut, please don’t make the same mistake I did, go somewhere else where they care about you.
