I am 110% satisfied with the outcome of my surgery and all the great customer service I received from your company as well as the surgeon and his staff. I tell my family and close friends all the time that I will never regret the decision I made to have cosmetic surgery. My breasts were so unproportioned to the rest of my body, that most clothing didn't fit right. After my initial consultation with the surgeon I knew I just had to have this surgery so that I could be happy with my appearance. I also did some research on the doctor and he had performed that same surgery on a few acquaintances of mine. Another great benefit was that they were so close and also very accommodating. They scheduled my surgery so quickly and before I knew it I had the body I was happy with. The whole experience was amazing, and I said I will never regret the decision to have the surgery.

Starting with our first consultation my husband and I felt very comfortable with you and appreciated your professionalism and sense of humor. You were thorough and we think made the proper recommendations on what I needed. The results are terrific and have received many compliments since then.
