From the reviews

When I came in I had no idea what to expect. The staff made me completely comfortable. Dr LaFerriere showed genuine concern for my reasons for wanting to make changes and offered great insight on how to get the results I wanted. I looked tired on the outside but felt vibrant on the inside.

★★★★★ — Skylar, Nov 2014

At age 36, I had to undergo a pretty intense forehead flap procedure to reconstruct my nose/face after a large amount of skin cancer was removed. Without a doubt, I received the absolute best possible care from Dr. Kienstra and his staff.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Aug 2021

All the staff are so kind. Dr kienstra was amazing he gave me my face back I was at a block in the road with no light at the end of the tunnel, then I saw the Dr. and he was not only willing but was so knowledgeable about my rhinoplasty and septoplasty surgery he did.

★★★★★ — Two, Dec 2022

Dr. Kienstra is the best! His bedside manner, energy and personality go unmatched. He's amazing at what he does, very knowledgeable and experienced. I wouldn't have trusted anybody else with my procedure except for him and can't be more happy with my choice! Doctors like Kienstra are a rarity.

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.
