Great plastic surgeon and great experience!

I’m very pleased with the treatment and the results I received from Dr. Van Vliet and his team. He has a wonderful PA, Mike. I would definitely recommend Dr. Van Vliet for your plastic surgery needs! I am a trans male and both Dr. Van Vliet and his associates provide professional and unbiased services for their patients. His concern is your safety and your results.

hands down, best doctor!

Thank you Dr. Van Vliet!!! Decision of cosmetic surgery might be easy for some but not for all, and that would be me. I went for several consultations and it wasn't until I met Dr. Van Vliet that I felt I found the right doctor for me. My first consultation was over an hour long and it wasn't because I had tons of questions .. that too but Dr. Van Vliet took his time to explain it all to me. I did had a long list of questions but he addressed most of them before I even had a chance to ask. He wasn't trying to make any decision for me or try to persuade me in any directions. He listened to my expectations and desires and concerns. Between Dr. Van Vliets intelligence, knowledge and experience he exhumes, his staff friendliness and willingness to accommodate any need you may have you can't help but feel like you are among family members. Needless to say next day after my consultation I scheduled my surgery. Happy to report exactly 48 hours post op, I couldn't be happier. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. VAN VLIET AND STAFF! YOU ARE TRULY AN AMAZING TEAM!!

Breast Reconstruction with Explant and Lift

Wanting my health back was my primary reason for this surgery. I was sick every day for two years since getting my implants, I had burning in my chest, pain in my neck/back/chest/joints, chest tightness, and shallow breathing. Looking great is a PLUS, having such a positive experience, and regaining my health has been all worth it.

Please Look Elsewhere for Treatment or Care

I have had an unbelievably negative experience with Dr. Michael van Vilet and his practice. Every appointment I had was delayed by at least an hour and a half, even when I arrived on time. I had to have two additional surgeries after my initial procedure because of constant pain and horrendous results that were difficult to look at. The office rescheduled my appointments twice, adding to the frustration. During my first and only appointment before the surgery, Dr. van Vilet saw me for a mere five minutes. He rushes in and out without listening to patient concerns, making it clear that he does not prioritize patient care. To make matters worse, a staff member left the door open while I was half-naked in the room, leaving me feeling exposed and embarrassed. At just 22 years old, I am in constant pain and discomfort, which is unacceptable. I had surgery over a year ago and have been dealing with pain, discomfort, and not being able to wear certain clothes or participate in certain activities. Other doctors have refused to perform surgery on me after seeing the results of Dr. van Vilet's work. I refuse to let him operate on me again. I am now stuck living in a distorted and painful body because of his negligence and lack of care. I strongly advise anyone considering his services to look elsewhere.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE

Surgeons skills were way below what was eluded. He may be good at burns and reconstruction otherwise, but for a cosmetic surgery I am left with an epic challenge to get this nightmare corrected. His staff also managed to screw up absolutely every step along the way, and I've never dealt with a ruder, less professional office. This was a very, very bad experience.
