This is by far the best plastic surgeon around! His wife is absolutely a solid force in the entire workings right along with the doc himself! They beat all odds! I would only ever recommend this team for any plastic surgery needs. My daughter first needed an entire cranium reshape as she was born with it growing oddly. Several years later I went back to have a past c-section fixed. Both times they treated my entire family as a whole unit in the decision and planning processes. The hospitality and bed side manner is superb!
