From the reviews
Dr. Ralph A. Massey is one of the most excellent physicians I have ever had. He removed a very deep and wide squamous cell carcinoma near my left ankle on November 5, 2025. The wound was two inches in diameter and one inch in depth.
Dr. Massey is a true professional! he called me on a Sunday to check in, post-op, for a small Mohs procedure he just completed on my leg. great energy, kind, caring.. highly recommended.
Had a great experience with Dr. Massey‘s expertise in not only successfully treating a skin cancer with Moh’s surgery but then also completing the procedure the following day with cosmetic surgery on the site.
Dr. Ralph Massey is an incredible surgeon. He was very thorough in explaining what he was going to do, and the surgery was painless. He is also very compassionate. I had a Mohs procedure to remove a melanoma on my neck. Fortunately for me it was in-situ, and had not spread to my lymph nodes.
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.
