Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
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 have always had a front butt or as some call it...

I have always had a front butt or as some call it fanny pack, apron, hanging stomach. I called it a front butt. I have lost 80 lbs with the lap band I got 8 years ago. I knew what I wanted, what to expect, and I got that and more. I am 25 years old and I am having my formal wedding in December. My dress fitting is in September, so I wanted my surgery done ASAP. . I knew what I wanted, what to expect, and I got that and more. I scheduled my appointment online and right away was emailed that night by Dr. Shaddix himself. The next day I spoke to his coordinator Shelly and was able to book my consultation and let me know it was possible to find a surgery date for me to heal in time for my dress fitting. I knew I needed an extended tummy tuck before going in. Yet, when I met with Dr. Shaddix he felt I needed a fleur de lis (which helps bring in the skin from the sides and helps make your waist look smaller) but did not want to perform it in fear I would regret the vertical scar. I told him I did not mind having a vertical scar because I have always been overweight and never planned to wear revealing clothes. He told me to think about it and look into how others looked with the scar. I'm glad he thought about the possible insecurity but I told him I don't really have to think about it I want it. Surgery day was great. I got there around 5:30 am to the surgery center, went in to surgery around 7 am, and was home around 2 am. I'm a trooper with pain, of course it hurt when I woke up and got off the bed and into the car, but I expected a lot worse and it wasn't that bad to me. Later on in the evening, he personally called me to see how I was doing. I knew he was at home because I could hear his kids in the background. I was doing well and I felt even better because him calling showed me even more how much of a caring dr he is. The next day Shelly called to check on me. This office really cares about their patients. It is not a place where you are just $$$$. I have never been happier with my body and its all because of the GREAT WORK Dr. Shaddix did on me. I also got a little bit of lipo on my back, hips, and thighs. He did not do too much on my thighs because I do have a bit of thin skin on the inner and may have led to more skin to sag. He was able to remove a total of almost 4 liters with lip and 11 lb of tissue/fat. I have naturally wide hips so I went from a size 14 to wearing now a 10 and some shorts I can wear a medium but mostly a large from before I was an Xxl or xl.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Shaddix and his office. I scheduled my appointment online and right away was emailed that night by Dr. Shaddix himself. The next day I spoke to his coordinator Shelly and was able to book my consultation and let me know it was possible to find a surgery date for me to heal in time for my dress fitting. I knew I needed an extended tummy tuck before going in. Yet, when I met with Dr. Shaddix he felt I needed a fleur de lis (which helps bring in the skin from the sides and helps make your waist look smaller) but did not want to perform it in fear I would regret the vertical scar. I told him I did not mind having a vertical scar because I have always been overweight and never planned to wear revealing clothes. He told me to think about it and look into how others looked with the scar. I'm glad he thought about the possible insecurity but I told him I don't really have to think about it I want it. He still said lets wait until the actual surgery date and see how you feel for sure. He personally called me the day before the surgery to see how I was feeling and if I had any concerns. I do not know many Drs that would do that. Of course, I still wanted the fleur de lis and he said okay but we will discuss it more when drawing the lines before surgery. Later on in the evening, he personally called me to see how I was doing. I knew he was at home because I could hear his kids in the background. I was doing well and I felt even better because him calling showed me even more how much of a caring dr he is. The next day Shelly called to check on me.
