Had surgery with Dr Metzinger on 11/23/21. I have never had a surgical experience even come close to this one. From his front office staff, to the nurses, to the surgery coordinator and the doctor himself, everyone went out of their way to be kind, professional, and helpful every step of the way. Dr Metzinger and his staff were very knowledgeable every step of the way and kept me very informed about the process. During the initial appointment, I knew this was the surgeon that I trusted with my procedure. During the second appt, we sat at a desk and Dr Metzinger went over instructions word for word

Dr. Metzinger performed a breast augmentation on me and I am so happy with the results. He helped me pick the size that was more tailored for my body frame. Im in love with the new me!!! I couldnt have picked a better doctor and staff!

My journey to weight loss began with an umbilical hernia about 4 years ago. I had a mesh, a mesh that caused a lot of damage to my abdominal wall and it was very painful. I also have had some breast issues and I can tell you without a doubt I have loved my surgeon and his team. I am thankful for them, for his support & work of art. I would not would not be where I am without them. My surgeon is fantastic and his team is fantastic and I want to thank them for getting me to where I am today. This isnt just about surgery, this takes discipline, dedication, exercise and sometimes tears

Dr. Metzinger and his whole office are top notch! He is an amazing surgeon and his skills can be likened to one of the best Renaissance sculptors. His meticulous care of the details of anatomy, perspective, and proportion is evident. And, all of that comes along with a seamless and caring experience from start to finish.

Dr. Metzinger will tell you that hes not a miracle worker, but dont believe him! He and his staff are at the top of their profession in my opinion. We spoke to several doctors before we met with Dr. Metzinger. But once we met, both my wife and I knew we didnt need to look any further. We love the fact that he is honest, to the point, but yet listened to all of my wifes concerns and answered all of our questions. My wife is over the moon pleased with her results and will be back for more!
