From the reviews

I spent a lot of time in Dr. Burgers office over 2 years, due to a basal cell carcinoma on the tip of my nose. He did an initial removal and reconstruction, then a year later, (after healing), a revision, to tweak it a little and make it look a little better. I can't say enough good about Dr.

I truly don’t think my review will do justice to the experience that I’ve had with Dr Bulger and his team. While I saw him initially for a routine removal of benign skin cancer-which went smoothly. He observantly noticed a spot on my cheek that gave him pause. He suggested and performed a biopsy.

Dr Bulgar and his staff (Jessica & Ashley) are awesome. So kind, caring, efficient! ❤️

★★★★★ — Ramona, Jan 2025

From the first visit I could tell this man really knows his stuff! He goes above and beyond for his patients! I’ve met a lot of specialists and by far he deserves this five star rating !

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.
