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 only 3 days post op and I'm so happy with my results so far. Now my doc warned me about the loose skin I would have in front from my already loose skin and the lipo done but gosh it still looks great to me!! My back area hurt a lot last night but I feel much better now. Also woke up with my face kinda swollen today but that's probably with sleeping on my tummy and face for a while

Hello Everyone, So they say that the devil tries to steal your happiness, and this devil, I have been with for almost 10 years and it seems like he will do anything to keep my self-esteem low; reminding me that I will never look the way I want.So here's what happens. I went to my Doctor's appointment, and I'm informing the nurse that I will be getting these procedures done. She tells me "oh that sounds familiar," low and behold she got the same procedure done. I was so excited to tell him, I was on the path of telling him that it was like a sign! and then he proceeds to tell me "Oh she's got a fake butt."Being insecure, how would any of you others feel? I was so upset. Its like no matter what, he has to be the constant reminder that I am no where near perfect. It seriously kills me that I have a partner like this. Anyone else have a partner like this out there? Before (as in pre-op) when we would fight, he would come with the "blah blah blah... fat B***h" - i can already hear what it will be like after i get my procedure done.... "it doesn't matter how good you think you look, its all fake!"Ladies, your thoughts and opinions would be greatly valued.Did i overreact, or do i really have a douche bag boyfriend that I let keep me this low?

The office of Dr. Hicks has been beyond accommodating with my initial procedure being scheduled 2 years ago, and the simple fact that they held on to the amount already deposited was above accommodating. I believe Denise worked with me initially but when I returned she was no longer with the office. Rosie has become my new Denise and she's been just great! The staff here is very friendly, and the wait time is minimal. She is always very detailed in answering any questions I have and not making me feel like she has a better place to be. Dr. Hicks is very short and sweet. I am comfortable in trusting him to perform my procedure because of his background in the field being so extensive. I appreciate his recommendations and willingness to do what it takes to get me the results I want.
