Hello Everyone,

I am ready to bring my SEXI BACK in my Justin Timberlake voice. After having my daughter my body went to hell. I am trying to find the best doctor in the miami area for a tummy tuck and lipo of the front flanks and back love handles. I had a consultation with Michael Salzhauer, MD but the office staff somewhat rubbed me the wrong way. Extremely rush rush and very immature. Not very professional. As for the doctor he was very nice and even gave my daughter a book he wrote called beautiful mommy. I overall liked the doctor I think if he had a more mature group of girls I would have possibly picked him but im moving on.

I have done countless weeks of research and want to share what i have found. I still have not found a doctor and need some help from you ladies. Please tell me your experience and i will aswell.

Aside from the office staff I do like Dr. Salzhauers tummy tucks (his bbl's are not that great). Fisher has the same problem with the front staff. I think fisher is better with bbl. I used to like Ortega but not any more after reading about him slacking with aftercare and not returning calls, patient ended up in E.R with big infection. Salama office is less drama. Some but not bad at all. Good luck finding a doctor :-)

So I have had 2 breast Augmentations done by Dr. Baker and they both came out GREAT!!!! I did have some problems with anesthesia with my first augmentation ( I turned Blue on the Operating table). He is extremely expensive but I know i'm in safe hands. Tummy tucks are just scary.

Click the link below or copy and paste code.

All you need to do is Enter the Doctor's first and last name under “Insured” (Doctor's/Physician's) and then click on "search" at the bottom of page. ITS THAT EASY.... WHAT YOU WILL FIND IS CRAZY....

??CLICK LINK ??
https://apps.fldfs.com/PLCR/Search/MPLClaim.aspx

after you did the above you need to check if the doctor is board certified IN plastic surgery. Tons of doctors are board certified but they might not be certified in plastic surgery.

??CHECK YOUR DOCTOR by going to to www.abms.org (American Board of Medical Specialties®) or you can call 866-275-2267
