Just had surgery and Dr. Smith removed my gall bladder. He made me feel very comfortable with how knowledgeable he was when I was so anxious. His bedside manner was excellent and he was very caring. 2 days later and I am already feeling better. Thank you Dr. Smith!

Dr. Smith is an outstanding surgeon. In this day and age of rushing through patients, Dr. Smith is the exception. He takes the time to get to know his patients and their situations and weighs all factors of the patient's care plan. Furthermore, he sees the patient's case through from start to finish.

Dr. Smith saved my husbands life. After a colonoscopy resulted in a perforation of the bowl (done by a GI doc.) Dr. Smith explained our options.

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.
