★★★★★ — Cathy, Jan 2025

I had a surgical procedure; it took me approximately 2 years to come to the decision to have the surgery. What I appreciated most, was how patient, understanding, and truly caring Dr Waltzman was throughout my decision making process and through my surgery. He truly listened to me and what I wanted.

The staff was super friendly. Dr. Waltzman was very friendly, he answered all of my questions. Dr. Waltzman took his time a was very detailed with his answers. The examples used during the consultation were so helpful and it helped me get an idea of what I would look like after my procedure.

★★★★★ — Imelda, Aug 2020

This review is way overdue! Dr. Waltzman and his wonderful Girls/Ladies are truly the best. I'm a patient for over 2 years now and all of them are always so helpful and take their time. Dr. Waltzman is not just one of the most talented Surgeons, he's also very perceptive and has a calming Energy.

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.
