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.

Go to plastic surgeon for post extreme weight loss
When I was choosing a surgeon for my skin removal surgeries I immediately chose Dr. Michaels as soon as I saw his website and profile. His entire office has been incredibly helpful throughout all of my surgeries and appointments. Dr. Michaels achieved what I never thought possible when I initially lost over 150 pounds, he gave me a body that reflects all of my hard work over two years. I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me and I am so grateful I found him when looking for a plastic surgeon. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, your search is over, Dr. Michaels and his team are the best for post extreme weight loss plastic surgeries.

I had a mommy makeover and chin lipo with Dr. Michaels. The process was smooth and his staff is amazing! The results from my procedure are truly life changing. After having 6 kids, I feel like myself again. Can’t recommend him enough!

After losing 150 pounds I was left with hanging skin specially on my abdomen which caused infections . It was very hard to walk and of course it caused back pain . Then, I decided to have it surgically removed but who? I felt scared and being a super sensitive person I needed a Dr. with a lot of compassion. Dr. Michaels and his office staff made me feel like I was at the perfect place from day one, he took his time and explain what I needed. Day of surgery came, I was terrified and excited at the same time but I trusted Dr Michaels 100% . When I woke up from surgery I had 15 pounds removed from my abdomen and for the first time in close to 20 years I felt this wonderful unexplained sensation of happiness . Needless to say this has changed my life and I owe it to this very skilled, caring, compassionate Dr. Michaels . Thanks for helping me!!!

Bought a package of RF Microneedling for my acne scarring on the spot due to the great care and customer service. Felt like I was getting my concerns met and after the 2nd treatment I’m receiving great results. Glad I was able to find them. Can’t wait for the 3rd treatment.

Dr. Michaels is a master at his craft. After losing 108 pounds the skin on my legs was so loose that I struggled to find clothes that would fit and I never exposed them. I was afraid of what the scars would look like so I put off surgery for 20 years. The older I got the worse it looked. My former plastic surgen reccomended Dr. Michaels and the minute I met him I KNEW he could help me and he DID!!!!! My scars are minimal! They are PERFECTLY placed where I can't even see them. I couldn't be happier. Dr. Michaels is skilled at healing bodies and hearts!!!!!!! And his staff is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

Dr. Michael’s is INCREDIBLE!!!! After researching, calling and talking to friends and colleagues who have used other plastic surgeons, i decided to go with Dr. Michael’s. It is a decision I will always be glad I made!!!! I had a breast augmentation & I no longer feel uncomfortable purchasing bras. I have a confidence I never knew existed. I have the ability to walk out of the house and not feel insecure and uncomfortable in my own skin. My fiancé loves them too; just another perk but not the reason I got them. I will be going to Dr. Michael’s for any future procedures!!! I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!

How fortunate I’ve been to have found Dr. Michaels. Have been using his services for several years and have experienced not only his skill as a surgeon and ‘wrinkle control’ specialist but his warm and caring personality. There’s no one finer. ??

Dr. Michaels has a pleasant personality, takes time with his patients to discuss concerns and presents alternatives. He is willing to direct his patients to a less expensive procedure if that will yield the desired result. I think that’s an admirable quality in a cosmetic surgeon.

I highly recommend Dr. Michaels! I did a lot of research to find a plastic surgeon for liposuction and decided to go with him. I had lipo of upper and lower abdomen and flanks. This was one of the best decisions I have made. He takes the time to understand exactly what you want, tell you honestly what results to expect and most importantly does a great job.

I have never met a doctor or staff who is as caring and attentive as Dr. Michaels and his office staff. Dr. Michaels made sure to answer all of my questions and concerns before my tummy tuck, breast lift with implants, and arm lift. Any questions that I have had so far post op he gets back to e almost immediately. My results are better than i even thought they could be. I live 4 hours away and would drive 10 more if I had to!

Dr. Michaels and his entire staff are absolutely amazing. From the first time I walked into his office, everyone made me feel comfortable. Dr. Michaels answered all the questions I had about my procedure and took the time to explain what to expect after surgery. He's not only an amazing surgeon, but he is a caring doctor. He has a great bedside manor and an easy going personality. I look forward to my follow up appointments and can't wait for my next procedure.

Hands down AMAZING! I am beyond thrilled with my results. All the effort I put in at the gym just wasn't showing through. I had lost the weight but after my children and weighing over 220lbs with each one my poor body was a hot mess. Dr Michaels made my body shine through and show off all my hard work underneath that I knew was there. Such wonderful welcoming staff and Dr Michaels who truly cares for each and everyone of his patients, I knew he was amazing but WOW! I love my new body! Thank you!
