Best Decision I’ve Made for My Health & Happiness

Dr. Pulikkottil has been a wonderful partner throughout my mommy makeover journey. From the initial consultation, where he shared realistic outcomes and his overall vision, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. It was also reassuring that he has experience working with patients with scoliosis, like myself. Overall, Dr. Pulikkottil is approachable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in your overall health and happiness. It’s clear he is passionate about his work and truly committed to creating the best possible results for his patients.

What stood out most was how I was treated at his practice, The LaVie Institute. I have been treated better here than at most medical offices I’ve experienced. From the first consultation to surgery day and throughout my post-op visits, I’ve been greeted by name, treated with respect, and always felt comfortable asking questions, even the small ones. The post-op lymphatic massages, weekly check-ins with Dr. Pulikkottil, and ongoing education have been crucial to my pain-free recovery.

Now, one month post-op, I still can’t believe my results. My body finally feels “whole” again in a way that no amount of willpower or hours at the gym were ever able to achieve. The muscle repair has re-established my core strength, my belly button has been re-centered and looks natural, and the breast reduction has significantly reduced my back and shoulder pain from scoliosis. The number of years I spent going to physical and massage therapy can’t compare to the pain relief I’m experiencing just a few weeks post-op.

I firmly believe this is a journey, and Dr. Pulikkottil and his team have made it incredibly easy to navigate every step of the process. If you’re even the slightest bit curious about what he can do for you, I encourage you to take the leap and schedule a consultation appointment. My only regret is not doing it sooner!
