The GOAT for a Reason
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, a small hernia repair, and lipo to the abdomen/hips/flanks. In researching surgeons, I was drawn to his natural style and also his price. But I reached out to others, and his staff responded the fastest, was the kindest, and extremely helpful through the entire experience. I also will say it was such a blessing finding such a skilled surgeon who would do drainless TT's because it was biggest aversion to the surgery otherwise.
I was lucky I found such an amazing surgeon in the city where I live, but I can absolutely see why people travel to have their surgeries done by him. The day of the surgery I went in, was taken back on time, saw the anesthesiologist, Dr. Mike, who was incredible and kind and always made me feel completely at ease. I can say the same for Dr. Ziyad. I will say I did feel a little disconnect in a sense, that maybe I was just another patient, because never felt like he tried much for any real personal connection...but that's not a bad thing I guess. I justify it by him being a very busy and excellent surgeon. He owed me nothing but kindness, respect, and skill..and he checked all those boxes! He was always kind, looked me in the eye when he spoke and when I spoke, he smiled and always reassured me that he could fulfill what I was looking for.
After my surgery I felt rushed out of the facility but I was so groggy and ready to get home and just move forward so that didn't bother me as much as it might have bothered others. Every follow up appointment was good, and even though he did several via video call, because I was local, when I had any concerns and asked to come in, he was always more than willing to see me. I had a small opening in my incision that took nearly 3 months to close but he never made me feel that I was over-reacting, I always trusted his insight, suggestions, and he kept my anxiety at bay...and of course he was right. Every time he suggested something, I took his advice, and it would go exactly as he said it would. He told me how to take care of it at home, keep it clean, he gave me preventative antibiotics to avoid infections, and though it was a slow process, it all healed just as he said it would in it's own time. I can't say enough how important it was to have a surgeon who was direct but kind, reassuring and confident, and never brushed off my concerns even when I had them and he didn't. That attitude toward his patients is 100% why he will ALWAYS have my trust and referrals in the future.
And my results are just what I hoped for, and I even lost some weight after and they look even better now. I have never felt so comfortable with my body. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Ziyad. If and when I need any other maintenance or other procedures, I will never call anyone else. Ever.
