From the reviews
DrVandervelde has been treating me for complications of hernia surgery that was performed by another surgeon. He listens and provides good judgement and advice. His apron Allison and Amanda are excellent at their jobs also. I highly recommend him your surgical needs.
Dr. VanderVelde did a great job fixing a Hernia repair that I had completed by another Dr. that did not turn out so well. Granted recovery was a little rough but that was going to be with anyone. The Dr. and staff were very professional, responsive and understanding. Would 100% recommend.
He is a great Dr and done a very good job on my sons surgery. The staff is aslo wonderful.
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.
