From the reviews

On 12/2/2022 I had emergency Gallbladder removal via robotic surgery by Dr. Lauren Poliakin. I cannot give her enough Stars for my overall experience and outcome. Unlike most surgeons, she is a Master of Communication and is thorough, empathetic, committed to her patients far above most.

★★★★★ — Tom, Jan 2023

I am forever thankful for Dr.Poliakin and her staff- I feel so fortunate they were there (and believed me) in my time of need. Cliffnotes version: -Go to ER at 1am for abdominal pain. Ultrasound confirms gallstones and liver enzymes are slightly elevated.

★★★★★ — Victoria, Mar 2026

my meeting with Dollar, Dr. Poliakin was exceptional. She was an unbelievable doctor, which I have never experienced before. She was explaining, and every detail with the surgery would be about and definitely convince me that she would be the only one that I would want to have the surgery with. God bless her

★★★★★ — Marc, Jul 2025

Dr Lauren Poliakin was instrumental in my weight loss journey. With her guidance, I have lost 40 pounds this year. I was stuck in a rut and she got me out. I am so grateful to her and her staff, all so sweet and encouraging. Thank you Dr. Poliakin!

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.
