From the reviews

Dr. Ridgway has been a God sent in my life. Not only is he one of the best plastic surgeons, but he's also an incredible person. He has a heart for people, he's a perfectionist and he's a giver.

★★★★★ — Yelena, Oct 2023

I had a septorhinoplasty (+alarplasty) and neck liposuction done with Dr. Ridgway in December 2023. I’ve had many appointments with Dr. Ridgway in the past year—from the initial consultation to the surgery itself to follow-ups afterward.

★★★★★ — Zanna, Nov 2024

I had the best experience possible with Dr. Ridgway. I searched for 7 years for the right doctor - meeting with every surgeon in the area with “best rhinoplasty” attached to their name. I never felt like I trusted a surgeon or their skills enough to pull the trigger until I met Dr. Ridgway.

★★★★★ — Kristen, Mar 2026

I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my septorhinoplasty performed by Dr. Ridgway. From our initial consultation to the final follow-up, Dr. Ridgway was not only incredibly skilled but also caring, kind, and had a fantastic sense of humor that made the experience much more comfortable.

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.
