🩹 attentive aftercare 2 mentions

“I came from Chicago, required a minor follow up from Northwestern Memorial, and my Dr in Chicago found Woodruff for me.”

From the reviews

I have been having annual skin checks from Dr. Heather Pontasch for several years Twice she has discover spots that required surgery, and then for a couple of years I had skin checks every 6 months. She is extremely competent while remaining personable. The staff is also excellent.

I’m sure I had a little spring in my step when walking into the Woodruff office, but this is the way you act knowing you have someone “extremely” qualified providing care. It’s like showing up for flag football and finding out Tom Brady‘s on your team. The ladies checking people in were friendly and efficient.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an outstanding experience with Woodruff Institute, especially under the care of Dr. Rebecca Lambert and her professional team of PA's. From the start, they took the time to carefully identify and isolate my specific problem skin areas instead of rushing through the appointment. Dr.

★★★★★ — Stephen, Feb 2026

For my wife, Claudia Cukla: From the first moment we entered the lobby of Woodruff Institute we felt a sense of relief and confidence that we had chosen the best doctors to do her procedure. The staff was very friendly and outgoing from the initial check in.

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.
