After having my son (and gaining a whopping 75lbs) I knew I needed a tummy tuck immediately (especially since I knew I didn't want anymore children). After working out everyday for 2years straight and loosing all my pregnancy weight I decided that now was the time. During the summer I scheduled a litany of consultations (about 6 to be exact), & was overwhelmed with all the information presented before me. Each and every consultation was filled the "same old" boring video and promise of getting you looking back like your "old self". After awhile everything became "cookie cutter-ish" & very routine!!! After going on my 5th consultation (and what I was sure to be my last because I had no intention of going on the final one, after all what would be the difference??), my husband suggested I Just go to see if this consultation would be different (to which my immediate response was "how many times can they re-invent this wheel"???). What would be "different" about this consultation?? I have heard it all (or so I thought). I figured, I might as well just save myself the trouble and choose from one of the 5 I had I already consulted with, but boy was I wrong!!!!!! I thank God that I listened to my husband!!! My consultation with Dr. Shureih took over 2hrs!!! I know it sounds like a lot of time but he really took the time to consult with me on a personal level so this experience did not feel "cookie cutter-ish" at all. He actually took his time (no video or CD), just my husband, the Dr. And myself (going over every possible scenario)!!! He took the time to measure my entire body and take my weight!! This man is very hands on an very precise!!! I was taken aback!!! This was the best experience I had ever had with a doctor!!! He answered every question and had realistic answers for each one!!!! Every plastic surgeon (up until him) quoted Liposuction in my price. Nothing out of the ordinary for a tummy tuck (very standard), but as I stated before, I had been working out EVERYDAY for the past 2years before I got my surgery so I did not need any lipo!!!! He was the ONLY doctor to tell me that (that just goes to show you how unattentive and very routine the others were)!!! Not one of them noticed that underneath all that saggy skin, there were abs and no fat!!! Just loose skin!!! He also informed me that not only did I not need Liposuction, but that I did not have not one ounce of fat on me ???? (as I stated earlier he measured me from top to bottom and used the old school caliper gun used to measure body fat)!!! It was then I knew that he would definitely be my doctor!!! From then on not only was I anxious but I was also very motivated to save the money and have the procedure done!!!! Needless to say the procedure was a success!!!! A year later I decided to get my breast done (as I stated earlier I worked out so much that my breast literally withered away!!!) and of course it was a no brainier that Dr. Shureih would be doing that surgery too after all there was no other doctor that I would let near me with a scalpel!!!! Believe me when I say if you are in the DMV area he is definitely the doctor to call!!!!!

Thanks Dr. Shureih
