From the reviews
Dr. Hedden has been my surgeon now for a few years; very good doctor and has great bedside manners. I had a tummy tuck in 2019, I believe but recently just went in for arm lift March 2025, I didn’t get the desired results but he did a revision Dec 2025 with no problem and no hassle.
While I’d love to gate keep and not tell everyone how amazing Dr Vandiver is, I can’t. If you haven’t seen him for a consultation or injectables, you’re missing out on the best there is in this area. He’s kind, personable, knowledgeable, considerate, and most importantly highly skilled.
I would recommend Dr Halka a million times over and over again. I originally had a few consultations scheduled, but once I met with Dr Halka I cancelled the other ones because I knew he was my surgeon. He answered all of my questions during the consultation and put me at ease.
I am writing this review to rave about Dr.Vandiver and his work. I just had my rhinoplasty with him, and he was wonderful throughout the entire process. For context, I am an ICU nurse, so I did a lot of research and had certain expectations going into my surgical consultations.
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.
