Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent patient care! Prompt, knowledgeable and caring office staff and physician. Very happy to have such a great experience after moving here from Michigan. Am a regular here now!

Dr . Lovett and his assistant were wonderful to my son today. Feel very confident that they can help him with a facial scar from a car accident. He listened, spent the time needed with us and answered all our questions, highly recommend!!

I can’t speak for my results yet. I went in for dysport. But after reading some reviews I felt the need to leave mine. He was absolutely amazing & pleasant! He gave me all the information I needed, answered all my questions without making me feel stupid or rushed. He walked me through the process & the potential issues & how if I had them, they would fix them. The price we agreed on was the price I paid & he encouraged me to get rewards apps for more discounted treatment. I’m a little queasy when it comes to needs & when I felt dizzy afterwards he got me a water & assured me I’m not the only one it happens too. And checked on me a few moments later. Overall my experience with him was amazing.

I am currently in search of a surgeon that can fix what was supposed to be a reconstruction. Lovetts curt bedside manner (including eye rolling when a patient is quite obviously distressed) along with his reliance on office assistants to do tasks such as removing drain tubes etc are also a cause for concern. The daily discomfort are a constant reminder that I made the wrong choice of surgeon to handle such a complex surgery, on top of the physical and emotional toll that cancer already inflicts.

Dr. Lovett did my tummy tuck in 2004. He also did lipo on the hip so that I wouldn't be flat across the stomach and fat on the sides. I had a pain pump which I believe now all patients have. It was FANTASTIC. I had zero bruising from the lipo and the only pain from the tummy tuck was from the stitches right across. Getting in and out of bed was the worse - for the first 3 days then not as bad. Its been 13 years and I've put weight on since but still don't have protruding belly.

Broken nose in Auto accident and Dr. Lovett supposedly fixed it, horrible experience, after surgery most painful I had ever been thru. Extremely rude when I called after hours. When he took the stints out, he literally jerked them outo and I went into pass out mode. Then my nose looked worse than before surgery. Do not go to this Dr!!!! And ENT did an amazing job after this!!!!

I went to Dr. Lovett for a unilateral breast reduction. My breasts were shockingly uneven before the procedure. Dr. Lovett explained the whole procedure in depth and made me feel extremely comfortable. He made sure to caution me on all of the ways breast reductions can fail to make sure I knew there was a chance it would not be a perfect procedure. I was shocked after healing from the procedure how even my breasts were and how well the whole operation went.

I'm a man who had liposuction with Dr. Lovely. I was somewhat embarrassed about approaching this, and unsure if it was something I wanted to do - but Dr. Lovett made me feel very comfortable. He was very transparent, and did great work. My stomach and back looks great, my clothes fit better, and I'm so much more confident and comfortable.

I had to go for a small procedure and was pleasantly floored by the whole experience. Dr. Lovett knows his stuff and is very pleasant and gracious. I can't imagine a better experience!
