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.

Dr. Poindexter is a Gifted and Thoughtful Surgeon
I am tall and slim, but childbearing caused diastasis recti that left me looking pregnant by the end of the day. About 1 year ago, I had an initial full TT with muscle repair by another surgeon. I had an unexpected complication (prolonged post-operative ileus) which caused multiple issues and left my abdomen so unsightly that I could barely look at it.
I interviewed 4 additional surgeons in my quest for a revision. During my consult with Dr. Poindexter, I was impressed with his approach. He was thoughtful and thorough, even brainstorming with one of his colleagues about my case and ideas about surgical plans and how we could avoid the ileus by changing the anesthesia cocktail.
Almost one year to the day from my original surgery, I had the revision with Dr. Poindexter. We went into the OR with plans A, B, and C, all of which depended on what he found when he uncovered my abdominal wall. He found that my previous muscle repair had split completely, that I had a thick pseudo-bursa above my belly button, but that my belly button was salvageable (thank God). He conducted a repair of all of the issues and gave me a beautiful incision and a very attractive belly button. Given what he had to work with from my previous complications, it is miraculous that I have such an amazing result. I had ZERO complications this time around and pain was managed with gabapentin and Celebrex (no narcotics).
I am currently 6 weeks post-op and have been completely cleared for resuming all activities. I will update with photos when they are taken at my 12-week follow-up. Many, many thanks to Dr. Poindexter, his coordinator Heather, the stellar anesthesiologist, and all of the wonderful nurses who provided excellent care. I am so very grateful and will be back for future procedures.
