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.

Hi ladies, I've decided to write this review...

Hi ladies, I've decided to write this review solely based on my own experience with Dr. Tanovic. My surgery was over 6 months ago I'm doing good. Dr. T was awesome, she stayed in communication with my family after every surgery, she made sure I was surrounded with nothing but the best doctors as my case was very severe. Everyone in her office was so nice and the nurses spoke highly of her. Even one couple who were husband and wife nurses told me that Dr. Tanovic took on their daughter case who has special needs and was disfigured after another Dr. cancelled due to the severity of her case Dr. Tanovic took on the case and told them dont worry about the bill. Wow, I was blown away to hear that story and that only confirmed what I already knew, I was in good hands and God led me to her. Later that week The wife of that same couple held my hand and cried with me as they removed my bandages to change my dressing. Even when that same nurse wasn't on my floor or working she would send her husband there to check on me. The cleaning staff and some of the other nurses even prayed with me. I was truly blessed to have met so many wonderful people during this process. My first time meeting Dr. Tanovic she hugged me and wiped my tears as I cried when I had to get undressed in front of her. She then asked why are you crying and I told her I was too embarrassed to show her what I have done to my butt. She hugged me even tighter, wiped my tears and told me don't worry this is why you're here, for me to help you and we're going to get through this together. I was emotionally overwhelmed. What she didn't realize, was that I had noticed here stood a white woman who had just wiped the tears off the face of black woman, who was a complete stranger with her bare hands. She did so without hesitation and till this day I never told her that moment I knew she was heaven sent and those tears she wiped away was from years of hurt, pain and self hatred I had been harboring and shame of what my body had become. At that moment she wasn't a doctor to me and I wasn't her patient it felt surreal I kept thinking how could this professional doctor and White woman care about this Black girl who she never met and held on to me as if I was her own daughter. It was really emotional especially because I missed those kind of hugs from my deceased mother. Till this day she still treats me the same, I've made every follow up appointment and pray soon to have my reconstruction. I havnt been on here much because physically, mentally and emotionally I had to heal. It wasnt until I saw and read some of the reviews that they were saying about Dr. Tanovic. At that moment I knew I had to write my story. With that being said I have honestly spoken from my personal experience and ask that you personally go, meet with here and form your own opinion based on your case. As I've stated before everyone's case is not the same and nor will everyone's removal process have the same experience or outcome. All I ask is that you not judge her solely based on the recent negative reviews. Dr. T has worked hard for her practice and dont deserve that. Dr. Tanovic has an excellent reputation and now its being damaged because she decided to open her heart and doors to help us. THANK YOU DR. TANOVIC FOR HELPING ME YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!!

From the minute I contacted Dr. Tanovics office I have never looked back. I am so appalled at some of the reviews I have been reading. Mainly two in particular. God has blessed us ladies with another knowledgeable Dr. who has stepped up to the plate and decided I'm go to help these young ladies with the removal of only God knows what the hell these injectors has put in our bodies and you go and disrespect her name, character, moral and career. We are the reason we are in the predicament we're in not Dr. Tanovic. I have been doing reserch for removal almost 10 years and know that everyone will have different reactions and symptoms during the removal process. Everyone case will not be the same, everyone's scar will not be the same or heal the same. Come on ladies be realistic and stop blaming the doctors who are risking their reputation and livelihood to help us. Why do you think so many Dr's aren't willing to touch us with a 10ft pole and will turn us around as quick as we walk into their office. If you dont know why yet its exactly because of what you are doing to Dr. TANOVIC. SMH, I truly feel so bad for her as she literally saved my life. I was her worst case to date and I will forver be grateful. Do your research ladies prior to this Dr. Tanovic had 5 star reviews and never had a negative review, that alone speaks volume of her and her professionalism. Now the minute she decides to help us you'll belittle, disrespect and degrade her. Your complaining about a scar but your alive, your complaining about your fat not taking yet people who never had illegal injections fat transfer don't take at times. Come on don't do that. Yes, you can tell your story but your story isn't my story and a lot of other women she has helped and still continues to help. FYI That goes for all the doctors Mir, Rios, Gallerini and etc. It's only a handful out here that even want to touch us because of fear and you'll unrealistic reality that we have poisoned our bodies immune system and may never fully be the same as we were prior to illegal injections. I say all this to say ladies read the reviews and form your own opinion of Dr. Tanovic, meet with her, address your concerns and fear. I'm not anyone who works in her office or a fake page as ive been on real self over 6 years and have spoken with a lot of you on here. All I'm saying is that if I read you'll reviews prior to going to meet Dr. Tanovic for myself i'd still be up here looking and sitting in the house crying and in pain. I decided to write this based on my own experience and not solely based on the reviews of others.
