Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I have wanted a tummy tuck for years - my youngest...
I have wanted a tummy tuck for years - my youngest 'child' is thirty three, and that's a long time to be unhappy with your body. I am a two time breast cancer survivor, and have had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. I'm ready to live the rest of my life on MY terms!! I can't wait to be on the flat side.
Next Week!!
Dr Tolson's office called and they have a cancellation for next week. They asked if I wanted to take it. Yes!! The sooner the better!! That moved me up two weeks. I am so excited!! Going for my pre-op tomorrow, and I've decided to add lipo of my flanks. Total cost $7200. I never thought I could be this happy about having surgery. A tummy tuck is on my bucket list!!
Pre-op
I had my pre-op visit yesterday. No labs or EKG required. I found out that Dr Tolson uses the drainless procedure. That concerns me just a little, because I have developed seromas with previous surgeries, including one in my back that is still resolving five months later. I do like the idea of no drain, though. There is no overnight stay, but you see the doctor in his office first thing the next morning. I'm going to stay overnight in a hotel nearby since I live an hour and a half away.
All of my questions were answered and I am still really excited to get this done!!
I paid 5k for the tummy tuck and 2.2k for liposuction to my flanks.
My hemoglobin runs low, so I made sure they are aware it runs just above 11. I have had to have a blood transfusion in the past after surgery, so I feel like I know what symptoms to look for if I get severely anemic. Praying that doesn't happen though!

Provider Review
I met Dr Tolson today, and liked what he had to say so much that I scheduled my surgery on the spot! I'm considering lipo of my flank area as well, and that will add about $2200. I can't believe he only charges $5000! I was going to pay more than that in Mexico, and this is only an hour from home!!
