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.

Absolutely the best experience I have had with a doctor. Really calm demeanor, intelligent and unmatched talent (so far in my experience).
I got liposuction of upper abdomen, thighs: inner, outer, back butt ledge banana roll, arms, and chin. I guess that's a significant amount! He split the surgeries over 2 days as to not overwhelm the body. My results are basically entirely symmetrical, of course there's always a little difference but it's not noticeable to others (believe me, I have asked my mom and sister multiple times if they notice a difference many many times). I healed really well, incision marks very small, they were very attentive pre-op and post-op, a really great team that made me feel comfortable and the surgery was done in their own facility.
I had a breast reduction done 1.5 yrs ago and some liposuction of the flank area with a different doctor in town, and Dr. Gaines and office are just way better. It's not that I'm entirely displeased with my other results, it's just that I asked for some different tweaks with the reduction and the doctor didn't do what I asked because of her own perception-- I wholly and completely get that she is doing her job and know proportions etc., but that doesn't mean I'm ok with it.
ANYWAY, back to Dr. Gaines; I went in with questions and concerns and he was great with answers and, in relation to the story above, he said that he would be willing to operate and fix it to what I wanted. And I assume if what I wanted was way too out there he would have at least given me a compromise of options instead of going ahead w/o asking if I was okay with it. Post-op day of surgery he called and asked about how I felt and I went in 5 days later for stitches removal. (I personally heal better with actual stitches and not the dissolvable ones.) Prescriptions filled easily.
The office staff is great, and at least for me I was somewhat timid about saying the word "liposuction" and asking about it. But they made me feel 100% comfortable.
I don't have pictures because I don't really take or like pictures, but I feel amazing with my results. Especially my arms. And when living in Florida that is an important thing to feel confident with.
Since the surgery I have felt better about wearing exercise clothes so I am not afraid to workout anymore and have lost some weight and I have retained the results from the procedure(s).
So, that was a lot of words and information, but overall if you're looking for a surgeon in town Dr. Gaines is the BEST way to go.
