FIND A VERIFIED DOCTORI had Breast Implants for 35 years and I loved them! I originally had silicone and they ruptured after 22 years. They were replaced with saline implants and I had problems with encapsulation. I just never liked them as much as my original implants. After 13 years, I had a consultation with Dr. Kuhlman-Wood about what to do with my encapsulated breasts. At 64, it was time to replace them, but, the thought of having to replace them AGAIN in my 80’s was a big concern. We scheduled the surgery and, while I was waiting for my surgery date, I suddenly started having problems with my heart. It took a year and a couple of procedures to sort through my heart issues with my cardiologist. When I was finally healthy enough to proceed with this elective surgery, I was even more concerned about the future and how my health might prevent me from even having another surgery in my 80’s. Dr Kuhlman -Wood spent a great deal of time discussing my options. Instead of just taking my money and redoing my implants, she showed me how much of my own breast tissue that I actually have and strongly suggested that I not replace the implants. Instead, she removed the implants and did a breast lift. I am so surprised at how much breast tissue that I actually have (a nice perky C cup) and am comforted that I won’t have to endure any more breast surgeries. Dr Kuhlman-Wood clearly put my heath above her profit and I sincerely respect her for the honest feedback and advice that she gave me.

I had /am having a fantastic experience with Kate's establishment and have been receiving skin treatments under a membership program for the past year and have noticed such amazing improvements! It really helped me be more happy and confident in my own skin especially for my special day!
I just turned 61! I made the decision to get serious about getting back into shape last January. I have worked very hard at the gym on a daily basis, and started eating right! It made a huge difference and in 3 months I had lost 15 pounds and gained a lot of muscle. However, at my age, there were things that I could not change even with hard work. Namingly, my breasts which were sagging (one lower than the other). After visiting with Dr. Kate Kuhlman-Wood, it was an easy decision to choose her to perform my surgery (breastlift on one side and implants). I had done a lot of research and quickly realized why Dr. Kate had received the award of "Best Plastic Surgeon in Idaho" four times in a row! She was friendly as well as matter of fact in her discussion and explanations. I knew I was in excellent hands! The surgery went better than I could ever hoped for! Her team was AMAZING! ALL OF THEM - 5 STAR! I now have the finishing touch that I needed to achieve the body that I desired to have once again! I can't thank Dr. Kate enough! I wholeheartedly recommend her! Ladies! It's never too late to get the body you deserve!
...read moreI can't rave about my experience enough! I've been unhappy with my breasts since puberty (I'm 28). I had large, elongated breasts with nipples that basically pointed downwards. While I know everyone's body is different and I should learn to love the body I have, this made clothing fit weird and alienated me from a large portion of the clothing industry. It also affected my self-confidence in a big way. As the years went by, I tried dressing for my body and accepting my body the way it was. Eventually, I decided that something needed to change. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Kate and her team. They made me feel heard, validated, and optimistic about potential changes. She made recommendations that fit my body and expectations. The cost, procedure, and recovery process was clearly explained ahead of time. I'd be lying if I said this process didn't come with a wave of emotions. I was excited/happy for a long-awaited change, nervous/scared about major surgery, and embarrassed about needing/wanting the surgery altogether. This was definitely an emotional experience (and that's okay). The surgical team took very good care of me and things are healing as expected. I'm now able to wear all kinds of bras, tops, and dresses. I also love the way I look in the mirror and feel incredibly happy with my decision. I would definitely recommend this surgery and this surgeon to anyone considering it. You'd be in very capable hands!

Dr. Kuhlman-Wood is absolutely amazing. She’s caring, knowledgeable and has an awesome personality. She made me feel so comfortable and confident, especially after my procedure. Seeing my before and after pictures made me cry tears of joy. I can’t express how happy I am with my breast augmentation, and how thankful I am that I chose this office to take care of me through this journey. Everyone single person I interacted with throughout was wonderful! My surgery and recovery was also flawless.
...read moreMy husband, (who comes kicking & whining - haha) and I, have been seeing Tina Gamblex for almost 2 years now. Tina has won my husband over with her humor & teasing while also maintaining a professional demeanor. Both of us are seeing much better complexions with Tina’s regular treatments of micro needling, micro dermabrasion &/or chemical peels. While there are other treatments available, we are thrilled to see brighter skin tones and the lightening or complete vanishing of age spots we’ve had for years. Tina noticed a pre cancer on my husband & touched that area with a little extra chemical peel along with insisting he see a dermatologist. The dermatologist said the pre cancer was no longer there and that the healing process a chemical peel encourages can frequently encourage the skin to heal itself! Remarkable! Tina’s many years of experienced treatments come with an enjoyable sense of humor, results AND a glass of wine! Roxy
...read moreI look forward to my monthly visit with Tina Gamble! I always walk out feeling refreshed and beautifully improved. Tina is professional, kind and the best at what she does. I couldn't recommend this office and this Spa package deal more highly. You won't be disappointed!
I feel so fortunate to have met Dr. Kuhlman-Wood a few years ago! Not only has she been treating my arthritic hands -- multiple injections and a couple of surgeries -- but recently she did a masterful job at removing four basal cell carcinomas, two of which were on my face, saving me from the another barbaric, all-day, MOHS procedure at a nearby dermatological clinic. Instead, she scheduled me into Pleasant View Surgical Center in Post Falls, where these shin cancers were removed under general anesthesia. I was in and out in just a few hours! Here's the part where the 69-year-old guy gets cosmetic surgery for the first time: For at least 15 years, I've been troubled about the worsening issue of excess skin hanging below my chin. Some folks this "turkey neck." So, Dr. Kuhlman-Wood and I talked about corrective options during the followup visit from my skin cancer surgery. The procedure she suggested was called a "neck wave." This operation is minimally-invasive. It removes the hanging tissue and tightens some muscles in the neck, just below the chin. Four weeks later, I was back at Pleasant View. Again, I had general anesthesia. I was discharged after recovery and needed pain medicine for only a day or two. For the first week, I wore an elastic and Velcro garment, 24/7 intended to support the chin and neck. Later, I only had to wear it at night. Conclusion: Today, I had my final post-op visit. I still have a bit more healing to do. The scar is fading nicely. Most importantly, everyone agrees that I look ten years younger! The "turkey neck" is gone. The skin below my chin is now firm and taut. I'm very, very happy with the results! Dr. Kuhlman-Wood is an exceedingly-skilled surgeon. Her fees are reasonable, her office is well-organized and her staff is personable and supportive.
