Scott Gerrish, DO

Dr. Gerrish is truly top notch and such a wonderful, caring doctor overall. He is not only brilliant and extremely good at what he does, but he cares about his patients and will take the necessary time to answer all questions. He is very sincere and only recommends what he truly believes will benefit his patients. I can see why he is so highly regarded. I highly recommend him.

I was extremely unsure about this procedure going in, and I had done a lot of research to see if it would last and how effective it would be. I finally decided to take the plunge after talking to Dr. Gerrish (see below). He explained how they did the anesthetic and procedure at maximum energy to avoid needing to do a second procedure. I had mild discomfort during the injection of the anesthetic, but that's to be expected. The microwave portion itself was painless. Afterwards, it did feel like I had grapefruits under my arms, but I was able to attend social events two days afterwards without being too awkward. Itching and redness have slowly subsided over 5 weeks, though I have noticed all over my body I'm a little more itchy now--not sure if this is related to the procedure. Underarms are quite dry--the procedure definitely achieved the 92% reduction in sweat that they advertised, and I had sweat a LOT beforehand. The picture of my t-shirt after running has a sweat pattern that is basically the opposite of what it used to be, especially on the sleeves. Redness and after effects were almost completely gone after 4 weeks, and I'm MUCH more comfortable in work, at the beach, or even just sitting around at home. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're unsure about the science behind it--I'm a technical guy, and am FINALLY convinced this procedure works.

I tried Coolsculpting on my abdomen and lower back about 6 weeks ago. I was seeing results after 3 weeks and apparently I'm only just starting to see them. I am so happy with them right now. I can really see the inches gone. It was a very weird feeling and I was uncomfortable for the first few days. But after that, it was fine, I didn't have any nerve pain.

I am 5' 7", 155lbs, size 6/8, pear shaped. This was my second round with coolsculpting. I had the lower abs and flanks done. It has been 40 days and I already see a significant reduction in the lower belly "bump". Flanks are not as noticeable but I can tell it made a difference because I no longer get the "muffin top" with a pair of pants that used to be too tight before the procedure. It takes about 3 months to see full results and I can't wait! :-) I also had another treatment on upper and lower abs last summer. Had a significant reduction at that time as well. Also, last time I had some minor "pins and needles" sort of feeling about a week after the procedure. It wasn't anything I couldn't handle though. I took some OTC painkillers and I was fine. This time has been completely pain-free. Did not feel a thing! I absolutely love my results and I definitely plan to have more areas treated.

Coming back on to duty was daunting after a baby. I was working on my body but my double chin was so embarrassing because it was the only bulge that my uniform didn't cover! I'm now about four months out, and the happiest I am with my body in quite some time. I look at my neck in the mirror and I don't have to focus on contouring and highlighting to minimize the appearance of fat. No more crazy makeup routine!!!

I work a lot, have minimal time for the gym, & my eating habits weren't great due to my crazy schedule. I found out about Coolsculpting and decided to try it out. It took about a month or so for results but both myself and others noticed a difference a difference. It was easy & the staff was great! I plan on going back for my abs in April!

My wife had mentioned to me that she saw a commercial for Coolsculpting and that maybe I might be a good candidate for this type of treatment. I work out with weights , not much cardio but have noticed as I'm aging that my mid section is expanding and my clothes are fitting more snug than they used to. I do eat healthy (most of the time) but I'm not happy sucking in my stomach when I have to get in my slacks. So it was time for something drastic. I have zero time for "downtime" so this seemed like a great option. I did some research and this had some great reviews and before and after videos. I work in Virginia sometimes so I searched Vienna Coolsculpting and found dr Scott Gerrish- I liked that he had two machines so I could knock out my treatments in half- they were able to apply two different suction applicators at the same time to different parts of my midsection and love handles. I'm not 4 months from treatment and MY PANTS KEEP FALLING DOWN!!!! At first I thought it was my jeans had stretched or that I was wearing the wrong size belt- but actually it was that my love handles sort of locked my pants in place - I'm down a belt size and can't believe my results. I'm So happy!!!!!! My gut is drastically reduced and it's extra motivation to exercise even more.

I've never had a flat stomach and while it's still not flat - after the cool sculpting treatment my stomach is back to looking as it did before 3 children! I've lost approximately five inches and now look as if I have a waist again! Down to my normal size pants and my tops fit and look better! I have much more confidence in myself and have started a consistent workout routine and making sure to eat much more healthy food. Very happy with the treatments and would do it again!

Motivation was just to achieve a look that I work so hard for in the gym but just wasn't quite getting. I honestly can't think of one single con. All pros. Totally worth it and the results were exactly what I wanted and needed. I just needed a little more umph to get me to where I wanted to be. And you WILL notice the difference. I have zero regrets and will definitely be doing it again.

I have tried practically everything(diet, exercise, various non-invasive treatments from other medical spas) to remove the stubborn abdominal fat, and this is the only thing that worked. My results are absolutely amazing!!! I'm so excited!! Also, like many men, I'm a huge baby when it comes to pain...I was surprised at how comfortable the treatment was. I was a little sore afterward, but it was totally worth it.
