Great Experience
I chose to do a consultation with Dr Bandy based on her before and after photos. By far they were the best most consistent work I’ve seen. Her entire office staff are very welcoming, helpful and informative. This was my second breast augmentation so I knew a little bit already but since I was going to a larger implant size, I needed a lot more support and guidance. I spent a total of 5 hrs in 3 visits talking with her assistant Kaitlyn who helped me figure out the perfect size that I have now. Overall very impressed with the entire staff, with Dr. Bandy and my results!

Amazing results!
Dr. Bandy performed an upper/lower blepharoplasty and I couldn't be more happy with my results. I researched about a dozen doctors and I chose Dr. Bandy to perform my surgery. She and her staff made me feel very comfortable through the surgery process. They are all professional and kind. My eyes are no longer tired looking, and I look forward to seeing even more results in the months to come!

SO Happy!!!!
My experience with Dr Amy Bandy and her staff was amazing from inquiry to follow up post procedure. Dr. Bandy has wonderful bedside manner and really listens to her patients wants and desires to ensure the very best results! I was very thankful for the time she spent explaining how we would achieve the results I wanted in a way that was easily understood. All of my questions were answered at every point of contact and post surgery Dr Bandy even made herself available to me after normal business hours to answer questions. She takes every precaution possible when preparing for surgery which made me feel very safe and added extra levels of security. I could not be happier with my results and I highly recommend Dr. Bandy and her team to anyone looking for plastic surgery procedures!

Excellent Delivery Of Care
I was recommended to Dr. Bandy by two individuals who I trust. I’ve now have had two procedures performed by Dr. Bandy and the outcomes of both procedures has met my expectations and beyond. Dr. Bandy and her staff are professional and compassionate. My emails and questions are always answered with respect and in a timely manner and the patient education, pre-op and post-op, is delivered in an understandable manner. I highly, highly, highly recommend Dr. Bandy, as you will receive the utmost care.

Amazing outcome!
I just can't tell you how happy I am. I was totally worried as another surgeon did not want to take my situation on. Amy was confident and very reassuring that all would be great! It was more than great, it was the best experience. If you are in the market for some "bigger boobs" she is the expert! I would recommend her to anyone wanting a great outcome and a wonderful bedside manner.

Highly recommend
I recently had a breast implant surgery with Dr. Bandy. After over a year looking for a Dr to swap out my saline over filled implants and over fill new saline implants to a larger size to help inflate my loose skin from pregnancy and weight gain and lose. I did not want a lift and knew I would still have loose skin but somehow Dr. Bandy was able to fill all my skin without the scar of a lift. I asked her to give me a nice round shape but not exceed a certain size. I trusted her and they came out amazing. My breasts look perfect. Better than I imagined. The entire staff is professional. The office is clean and the OR is conveniently located at the same address. They are covid concerned with I appreciate. You can tell health and safety comes first here. I highly recommend this surgeon.

I came across dr bandy in my search for a female doctor. I quickly discovered that she was an artist and genius at what she does and try to find someone comparable to her who lives closer to me. Even the men did not look as good as Dr. bandy’s work. I ended up taking the drive and I am so happy that I did.

5 STARS for Dr. Bandy and her team!!!! From the first appointment with her team and initial consultation with Dr Bandy it was a thoroughly reassuring experience with their team knowledge and experience base. This doctor and her team know what they are doing and can answer all your concerns questions hesitations with honest realistic answers. What I like most about her office is that when you are there and, in your appointments, their whole focus is on you and your care. In surgery it was a dedicated team soley focused to your well being and making sure you were okay. The aftercare was hands-down exceptional and they again answered all my questions. I will be a repeat client of Dr Bandy and her team as the results were PERFECT and exactly as we had discussed and prescribed. I highly recommend Dr. Bandy and her expertise!!!!

I have experienced weight gain and weight loss and pregnancy and breastfeeding and weight gain and weight loss, and needless to say my breasts were deflated. Even though I was still a D cup they were not happy or perky, so I decided I wanted to invest in a pick me up so to speak. I wanted to refill what I already had, and I didn’t want a ton of scarring from an anchor breast lift. Trying to find a doctor who would listen to what I wanted and not just say no this is what I want to do, or no you can’t do that, this is the only way. Dr. Bandy and her staff listened to what I wanted. She of course was realistic with me and told me honest answers like this may not be possible or if you do that, you won’t get this result, or this is the likely outcome, and of course she followed with a why/explanation. I personally loved that! Because at least I felt heard. I felt like my wants and desires were important. I didn’t feel like I was at a fast food restaurant. She didn’t make me feel bad for wan

Recently researched cosmetic/plastic surgery for face and neck. Dr Bandy's accreditation stood out among peers. Her pre-surgery procedure resulted in no bruising and limited swelling. Could not be happier with the results after just a few weeks. My incision scars are virtually undetectable. There staff is professional and comforting through the entire process. Look no further than Dr Bandy for your best outcome.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Bandy and her staff. I went to several consultations with other doctors for lipo and bbl and my decision came down to the quality of her work and the fact that I was not just a number. I appreciate the communication skills of Dr. Bandy and her staff. My questions were always answered in an efficient manner. They all made me feel at ease before and after my surgery. I'm so happy with my results and I'm only 2 1/2 months post op. I will definitely go back to Dr. Bandy if I decide to get additional surgical or non surgical procedures. I highly recommend her.

I am so grateful for the work Dr. Bandy did, she gave me a whole new level of confidence I can't even explain. I received a breast lift a little over a year ago now and the scarring is super minimal and I can finally feel comfortable in low cut outfits and bikini tops. She was easy to work with and knew exactly what to do and make them how I wanted. If you are thinking about having Dr. Bandy as your plastic surgeon, stop thinking about it and DO IT!

I highly recommend Dr. Bandy for cosmetic surgery. She’s an absolute genius! I was very insecure about an intimate area of my body and had considered an elective surgery for years (I had some asymmetry on my inner labia that had caused me a great deal of physical and mental anguish over the years) . After laboring through tons of info online, I found Dr. Amy Bandy and immediately called the office and talked to her staff who scheduled my virtual call. She calmly and casually said, “Let’s get rid of it!” That was the moment I knew she was the perfect doctor for me. My surgery was scheduled for two weeks later and everything went very smoothly (and rather quick and painless). The women on her all-female staff are incredibly warm, kind and reassuring. They answered all my questions, from surgery prep to post-surgery after care. If you are considering a cosmetic surgeon for a labiaplasty or something else, you are in excellent hands with Dr. Bandy and her wonderful team.

Look no further...you found the best surgeon! I called Dr. Bandy after an injury to my 10-year-old breast implants that left me asymmetrical and in pain. She wasn’t the surgeon that performed my breast aug, but she exceeded my expectations in the past, so I trusted her again for this complex issue. Once again she proved to me she is an artist capable of coming up with creative solutions that suited my unique circumstances. She’s a highly skilled and talented surgeon that is obviously comfortable performing complex procedures that many surgeons won’t even try (I know, because she corrected a bad nose job that another surgeon refused to touch). I’m also impressed with the way she conducts virtual office visits, because they are extremely thorough …made me forget I wasn’t in the office! From the consult to the post-op, Dr. Bandy was attentive to my specific needs, caring and sensitive and her staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. I’m a forever returning client!

I did months of exhaustive research before taking the next step with Dr Bandy- anything aesthetic for body & face is so personal and important- not to mention the significant investment. Trust was a huge factor for me. I took baby steps with procedures before taking a big plunge- just to test the vibe and office coordination and I have to say they blew away ALL of my (brutally high & unforgiving) expectations! The Doctor and her team are meticulous not only in their organization, communication & technical practices, but also how supportive, non-judgmental and body positive they are. It's like a sisterhood that helps us achieve our best image of ourselves- I felt heard and totally understood and not once judged in any way. From the little things to the big surgeries- I trust them, they've earned my dedication.

I would,and have, recommended Dr Amy Bandy to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon, particularly for breast reconstruction/mastopexy (lift). This is actually the second breast surgery she has done for me, I returned to Dr Bandy (without hesitation) Oct of 2019, when deciding to remove my implants and have a full capsulectomy, due to what I believe was breast implant Illness (BII). It was the best decision of my life! My breast’s look better than before I had children... Thanks to Dr Bandy and her wonderful staff, I’ve gotten my life back!
