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.

There is No Denying His Skill!
Dr. B's work is A1!! 5 STAR PLUS IMO.
That's the short answer. Here's the long answer if you're interested.
I usually don't write reviews but when I do, I want to be as honest as I can. His work is amazing! My scar looks so good, my belly button looks so good, my waist is so cinched, and my abs looked toned almost right away. I stayed at a recovery house with other women who had TTs with other surgeons and mine looked the best hands down. That being said, here are some things you need to keep in mind when you choose Dr B.
1. He might yell at you.
For people who don't care about that or have thicker skin, stop reading lol. For those of you who are a bit more sensitive to how your provider interacts with you, keep it in the back of your mind that he might not say things you like.*Shrugs* His work is really good, so it makes up. Also, outside of his general "bluntness" and times where he might become frustrated, he's a really sweet and funny guy.
2. He is not going to teach you about your procedure.
In other words, DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! Make sure you teach YOURSELF about how to prepare for surgery and how to take care of yourself after your procedure. *Dr Barrett on Youtube is who I used to prepare. I did everything Dr. Barrett said/suggested in his videos and recovered exactly how I expected to.
Note: This second point is not specific to Dr. B. The recovery house I stayed at was full of girls who came prepared only with the information they had researched on their own. Most facilities/doctors do a poor job of preparing their patients(especially out-of-towners) for surgery. *Shrugs.
3. He might not lipo you, even if you pay for it.
Even though I had paid for a tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks, I only received a tummy tuck without lipo :/. Now that being said, before my post-op appointment, it looked like I got lipo because of how cinched my waist was. That's how good I looked right away! I get to my post-op appt and Dr. B tells me he didn't do the lipo because I didn't need it.
Note: Surgeons have the right to change their mind while you're in your procedure (Think if you have a heart attack while he/she is performing. They can legally stop even if they didn't "finish").
I am aware of every single area of fat on my body and thought I had more than enough fat to remove lol. However, it was ultimately up to him to determine if any of it was safe enough to remove. Meh. I was relatively "skinny" before the procedure so there's that.
Pros:
1. It's a private practice.
I had breast augmentation done at SpectrumAesthetics in 2015 and I only saw the surgeon once right before he operated. That "moving you in and out like cattle" feeling is real, and it's most definitely NOT like that at Dr. B's office. When you call the office, someone answers right away and works on whatever issue right away.
2. Dr. B is a nice guy.
I, like a dummy, traveled with my 1.5 carat diamond ring. He noticed and gave me advice on where to keep it so that I wouldn't lose it. That small act meant a lot because he didn't have to do or say that. It wouldn't have been his fault if I lost it.
3. He gives out his personal cell phone number.
If you need to speak directly to him, you can. He will FaceTime you right away if necessary.
Examples:
i.) I arrived early the day of surgery (like 5am scheduled for 0530). The recovery house I stayed at provided transportation to and from the procedure, and in general, I'd rather be earlier than late. My rationale being that if I'm late, I might get rushed through the procedure. Anyway, the door to the office was locked and the office phones were outside of business hours. I called Dr. B to let him know I was downstairs and he came down to let me in. Easy-Peasy.
ii.) I developed a seroma post-op day 4 and texted him to see what his thoughts were. It was a Saturday and he texted right back and then FaceTimed me to assess my concerns.
Note: I don't know why I developed a seroma. Here's my suspicion. I woke up and one of my drain tubes had popped off the suction bulb sometime while I was sleeping. The drain was on the left and the seroma developed on the right part of my stomach. I think the drain that comes out of one hip drains the fluid from the other side of the body and vice versa. This would explain why the lack of suction from one drain all night would lead to a seroma/backed up fluid on the opposite side the next morning.
*Treatment info (if your interested):
a.) Lymphatic massages: I did a total of 3 LM and they seemed to help the general swelling but not the seroma
b.) Aspiration: I was from out of town and had to do these myself. I'm a registered nurse in the emergency department, so I was comfortable doing it. *Shrugs* The hardest part of doing it myself was finding the right depth and the right angle for the needle. Once I found that, I drained it everyday for about 2-3 weeks until it stopped coming back. Most doctors will drain it once or twice a week. Plastic Surgeons who are more aggressive in their treatment do them daily. The major risk is infection and for that, I went to my PCP and let her know what was going on. She ordered an ultrasound to make sure there was only one seroma and ordered more antibiotics to prevent infection (btw she thought the surgeon did a good job :p). I also used antibiotic ointment for the puncture sites, arnica gel to reduce/prevent swelling (4x a day), and a plug-in heating pad to the site (4x a day). I drank a bunch of water because science says your body will hold on to lymph fluid if it's dehydrated.
4. He is nice to his staff.
It seemed like there was this family-like atmosphere at the office. I can't really describe it in words but it just felt like there was this undertone of appreciation for one another between the staff.
All in all, when it comes to what's most important which is his work, he is imo one of the best plastic surgeons in Miami. His experience, technique, and skill make it seem like he can do the whole thing with his eyes closed. Like Steph Curry shooting 3's lol. It's not hit or miss like some of the other Miami favorites. It's consistent. I won't get started on how real my belly button looks because this post is already long. I'm just going to leave it at he did a really good job.
PS: If you made it all the way down here, you a real one :p
