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'M ON THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!
Things are going unexpectedly well before my surgery. Things are getting authorized, signatures are being places on the right lines, Insurance is paying for my panni, and I am fortunate enough to be able to get an upper abdominal tummy tuck. NOW I look in the mirror and talk to myself. "See this? Well take a great big look cuz you're not going to be here for much longer!" ha ha. I'm actually in a dream state that this is actually coming true. I am over the moon with this. And for all those going what I'm going through, waiting, hoping, not knowing their status yet...keep up the faith. So my official countdown is 41 days until my surgery!!!! WOO HOO!!!
JUNE 20, 2015...INSURANCE REQUEST...ACCEPTED!!!!
After the first attempt at receiving approval I was and now I just have to wait for the plastic surgeon's office to schedule me for me surgery. I was all ready to go through a denial and the appeal process with them since I am always half empty when it comes to things like this. But the first attempt it was go! Yea! Well, to give the viewers at home an idea of my size, when I'm sitting, my stomach slides out onto my thighs approximately 8 inches, so I barely have a lap. Try luggin' THAT pannis around with you every day!
Oh, and a "figures, only happens to ME moment." I went to consult with the surgeon WEEKS back like I wrote. The nurse said I needed to wait four to six weeks for an answer. I did that. About four and a half weeks I called my insurance to ask what the answer was, they had no idea what I was talking about.
Next I call the surgeon's office. After some sleuthing it was realized no one put my request for surgery in. UGH! I WAITED FOUR WEEKS FOR NOTHING!!!
But now the did it right, I waited less than a week, and the ball is rolling. Will keep you all posted!

Provider Review
I find this doctor to be very empathetic and compassionate, yet down-to-earth and on the cutting edge of everything. He's easy to talk to and I feel really comfortable with him. Hey, if I can show him the most embarrassing part of my body, you know he's gotta be a good guy!
