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.

Very pleased

I am very pleased. In the end I trusted him with implant size and they cam out matching my figure. They are 34DD and I fit intro dresses and tops just fine. I "spit" a stitch somewhat close to my nipple and it bled slightly. This can happen to anyone and his nurse got back to me very quickly. Its healed in a few days. Its been a really great experience!

Very tired

I am very curious to see what is under these steri strips! They come off July 22. I have ordered lots of wireless bras and lacey bralettes. My skin is very dry and flakey and there is very mall amounts of pus. I feel the most pain in the morning. I pushed myself way to hard over July 4th weekend. I actually haven't left the house in 4 days. I am just exhausted.

One week post op

This morning was a little rough and I become tired easily. We had nice dinner tonight and picked out couches for our tv room. I'm still quite swollen and have pain in my right breast. I have to keep reminding myself I had one hell of a surgery and it's okay to get tired. So please with the results though! My skin is also healing really well. The acne scarring is almost gone. The liposuction still hurts of course. I bought myself some flowers to keep by my bed to cheer me up.

Everyone is absolutely lovely. Dr Marin has an individualized approach. You feel like you're having a conversation opposed to an interview. I felt like my concerns were addressed and he also made sure I had realistic expectations. I always want to hear worst case scenario first and get it out of the way. He was very honest about risks. I also wanted someone that I can see ten years from now and I felt he was the one. Shannon is also lovely, she addressed my pain concerns and I felt I could call her with any issue. She's an excellent teacher and she will also share her personal experiences with you. Thats really important to me. Its an elective surgery, a long surgery, and I want it to go as smoothly as possible. They have been excellent about my pain control and well as answering my emails. Anything thing you need you are encourages to give the office a call. I believe they truly mean that.
