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.

What a difference a week makes

Thanks to lots of antibiotics, orally and topically, and some fantastic TLC from Dr. Coan, my incision is 1000% better and my healing can proceed normally. Nothing to complain about but some itching, a good sign.

Pretty amazing how you wait, dream, imagine, yearn for the surgery for so long...then for a few days it's the worst and you're doping yourself up to sleep through it...and in no time you're feeling almost back to your old self. With one BIG exception. Flat tummy! Or as my husband commented when he saw my profile, "something's missing." Indeed. :)

Angry scar

This is 2 days ago. It's looking better every day as the antibiotics do their work.

I've never been a good healer

Sometimes you just never know how your body is going to react to an assault. I have a history of serious infections and hypertrophic scarring. (I used to call them keloids but Dr. Coan corrected me.) Anyway, not surprisingly, my incision is fighting back with a local infection and ugly healing. The good news is Dr. Coan is totally on top of it with multiple antibiotics and major TLC. Complications and all, I'm still so thrilled with the result and looking forward to getting past the healing process so I can go shopping and replace all my body-concealing clothes, in smaller sizes!

Professional, smart, personable. Hubby and I felt so good after my consultation and the research I'd done on him, that I scheduled my surgery right away. The whole staff is competent and thorough. I am especially impressed with the extra care and personal attention I am getting given my medical history, co-morbidities, and age. I feel like I'm in good hands.
