From the reviews

Dr. Pakula was, hands-down, one of the best medical providers I’ve had the pleasure of being seen by. She was the surgeon for my cholecystectomy and I couldn’t have had a better experience. She’s the best at what she does.

If you are looking for a general surgeon for your next surgery, Dr. Pakula was excellent! She is very experienced in what she does. I had gallbladder removal surgery with her. From the first appointment, to day of surgery, and post-op check, she was caring and explained everything well.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
