I am a 60 year old man who had face lift surgery with Dr Hillstrom this past year. I have never met a medical professional who was so thorough and such a perfectionist. I have heard this term about him from others as well: "perfectionist". It is true in the best sense of the word. My first appointment with him was almost 90 minutes where he patiently answered every single one of my questions with clear and understandable answers. He was transparent, patient, and extraordinarily competent in the operating room and in all phases of the pre and post surgery. And the result were fantastic. I could not be happier with the actual result. I look much younger, and feel that way as well! I cannot imagine a better experience and would not hesitate to highly recommend Dr. Hillstrom to my closest friends and family.

I am 2.5 months post rhinoplasty and could not be happier with my results. Dr. Hillstrom has an excellent bedside manner and spent a lot of time with me at each appointment answering questions and reviewing expectations. My nose continues to change everyday but I was not worried because he told me up front that this is very normal. I love it! He asked that I bring a few pictures of noses that I liked so he could get a feel for what I was hoping for, and he matched it perfectly! He is a very skilled surgeon and his staff is terrific! Phone calls were promptly returned and wait times were short. I highly recommend this physician!

I have been a patient of Dr. Robert Hillstrom since 2010. I had several cosmetic surgeries in Pennsylvania before I moved here as well as breast cosmetic surgery in Sarasota. I can attest, without any hesitation whatsoever, that Dr. Hillstrom is the most competent cosmetic surgeon I have ever met or heard of. He specializes in the face and he is the consummate professional. He is patient, caring, and understanding. He is a perfectionist and always strives for a natural appearance. His office and staff are also welcoming, efficient, and knowledgable. Dr. Hillstrom performed my facelift in 2010 and I was extremely satisfied with the outcome and the entire experience. I continued to see Dr. Hillstrom for fillers over the next 9 years. Once again, he is methodical, professional, and thorough and I have always loved the results. Several acquaintances that I met here have had surgeries from other physicians and the results were disappointing to them. A few had complications. My facelift has held up well for the past 9 years. However, when I found out that Dr. Hillstrom would be retiring in the near future, I decided to have a neck lift. Once again, Dr. Hillstrom performed a perfect surgery with a very natural result that will last years. He explains every step thoroughly, does not rush a patient or a surgery, answers all questions, and is always available. Given my previous experiences and my long patient relationship with Dr. Hillstrom, I feel qualified to recommend him unconditionally with the highest confidence in a professional, safe, and natural outcome.

Best rhinoplasty surgeon! I love my results! Highly recommend him. He's compassionate and very detailed oriented. During my consultation I knew he was the doctor for me. Dr. Hillstrom is dedicated to satisfying his patients wants. He will go over patients expectations again and again. I'm so happy I went for a consultation and had my surgery with him.

Could have chosen any surgeon in the greater Sarasota area but selected Dr. Hillstrom for his reputation in the medical community. So glad I did! I was looking for a calm and caring physician that would give me an honest opinion of surgical possibilities for my sagging neck and jaw line. Dr. Hillstrom and his excellent staff took care of everything from the initial consultation to the surgical procedure and follow-up visits with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. The results are fabulous. If you have been curious about improving your appearance, call for a consultation. You will be glad you did.

I've been going to Dr. Hillstrom for over 3 years. He has done a lower face lift and also my injections with Botox/Juvaderm. He takes his time and always hands you a mirror to ask your opinion. I would definitely recommend him for any procedures you are thinking of doing.

I'm delighted that I did the procedure and went with Dr. Hillstrom. The whole experience was amazing and I will never forget how it has changed my life in a positive way. Dr. Hillstrom and his amazing staff helped make the experience easy and delightful. I feel amazing and certain anyone that goes with him will be as well.

Extremely professional. Close attention to the finest detail. Outcomes border on being perfect. Warm, caring and thoughtful. Have had a facial basal carcinoma as well as multiple seborrheic keratosis removed over the past two years. I can highly and unconditionally recommend him to others who need facial repairs.

Absolutely fantastic bedside manner. Very compassionate and knowledgeable. Planning on having elective facial plastic surgery. Excellent practice. Dr. Hillstrom takes time to explain procedure step by step, and welcomes questions and concerns. The staff and professional and friendly making the office visit a pleasant experience. Dr. Hillstrom exudes professionalism, yet he is warm and understanding. This was particularly crucial during a traumatic Mohs reconstruction surgery on the face. His concern and empathy helped a great deal to get through the experience. The reconstruction could not have healed better given the circumstances, and I have gone on to have other elective plastic surgery procedures which I am very pleased with. Planning on further rejuvenating surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Hillstrom as a trustworthy plastic surgeon.

This was my very first time going to consult on possibly getting botox. I was extremely nervous and did not know for sure if I was going to go through with the procedure. After meeting/consulting with Dr. Hillstrom, I knew I was in good hands! Not only was Dr. Hillstrom a very knowledgeable phycisian but his staff was kind and professional. This made my experience that much better.
