Dr. Hochstein is an amazing doctor. I don't typically write reviews but I know this may help others. First of all, Dr. Hochstein is always smiling, courteous, and spends as much as needed to answer any questions you may have. He is efficient though, which makes things run smoothly. He is more than happy to see you whenever you have concerns or questions. He always makes me feel comfortable and confident after I see him. I basically had a mommy makeover but had a lot removed from abdomen. I have lost 27 lbs (3 months out) because this not only changed me on the outside but more importantly on the inside. The results exceeded my expectations. I never thought I would go from a size 10-12 to a 6-8 and wearing a bikini after 20 years. This has made me want to look even better. I have changed my eating habits and lifestyle. Dr. H has inspired me and changed my life, truly! He is a true artist. It is amazing where he places the incision scar such that pretty much any bikini bottom or undies cover it. He and his staff are extremely professional and so sweet. The office is run like a well-oiled machine, despite how busy it is. I have had a few complications that can occur with any doctor or patient. Dr. H and the staff have always been there for me. They have me come right in and address it immediately. He always makes me feel better. It's evident he is passionate about what he does and takes pride in his work. I am very happy I selected Dr. Hochstein and would definitely go back in the future. Thank you Dr. Hochstein and staff for all your work and dedication in making the process better for me.

I too had a MM aftet three kids with Dr. H. I too after loving my results lost 30 pounds which only made my results that more amazing. I think if anyone in south Florida is looking to do a mommy makeover Dr. H is the best around.

TT, breast lift/reduction....10/10... should have done sooner

cheribabes

I have been a patient of Dr. H for ~2 years. My experience has always been pleasant. Dr. H is professional (not warm and fuzzy if that's what you're looking for). I had 4 procedures ( a TT, breast lift, lipo, and a revision TT). I had some complications to TT such as infections and suture spitting. Dr. H and staff were there at ANY time i had an issue. He was extremely caring when i had infections and graciously offered to revise my TT because it wasn't perfect (was pretty close tho). When i had an infected suture, he quickly and calmly sprung into action. I was called by staff to ensure my recovery. I didn't even realize a revision was an option. It was he who offered free of charge no questions asked. I felt he wanted his patient (me) to have the best result possible. I am in healthcare myself, there is always a risk of complications regardless of how much of an expert surgeon you have. That is clearly explained. I have physician and PS colleagues that agree i have a 10/10 result. Best thing I EVER did. I didn't release my pics but may add myself later because they are amazing. This really did change my life. If you have questions for Dr. H, come prepared. He takes the time to answer them but I don't think he is pushy on recommending anything. You need to know what you want. In addition, the staff is really amazing. Amanda is available pretty much 24/7. I love and trust Dr. H and plan to return in future.
