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.

Not so pleased
Let me start by saying the staff and Dr are very nice and I felt welcomed. I have struggled with whether or not to leave a review but was talked into it by friends and family based of my results. I had a double mastectomy in the fall of 2022. Dr Oliver worked with my surgeon to put implants in right away. I went back a year later to kind of tweak things and wound up with a mess. My left breast is an inch and a half lower and a size and a half bigger than my right breast. It also has a flat section where the nipple used to be. It’s not rounded at all. It is noticeable through my clothing. My heart sinks every time I am in front of a mirror. When I went back from my second surgery, it was to tweak the very situations that are glaring now. It cost me well over $6000 to do the 2nd reconstructive surgery and left me more “scarred” than before. I don’t know that I want to go through this again, but at the same time every day looking in the mirror is depressing.

Dr. Robert Oliver, Jr. and his team is caring and compassionate. He is very skilled and knowledgeable. He made me feel like I was I'm control of my care. I couldn't have made a better choice in surgeon. After my procedure, I was able to reach out to him for any concerns no matter the time of day or night and he was always available to assist me. I definitely received excellent care from Dr. Robert Oliver, Jr. and would definately recommend him.

My experience with this practice was absolutely wonderful. I cannot say enough about the kind and caring, even patient, nature of each and every member of the staff. I had numerous questions and concerns that were addressed and Dr. Oliver not only answered questions but provided reasoning why. I was very at ease with scheduling surgery and on the day of. Best of all, the results were wonderful and the cost was very reasonable considering his expertise.

My 2 visits with Dr. Oliver were both good. The first was in his office where the staff was very polite and professional. The only problem was with the paperwork layout being poor. The visit was on time and he was very pleasant and easy to talk with. The next visit was at the hospital where he performed the surgery. He was very good about visiting with me before surgery as well as in recovery and conveying information to my care giver.

My visit was a very unpleasant experience. The staff were impatient and impersonal. Dr. Oliver could work in his bedside manner a little more to make ALL patients feel comfortable. The nature of his business is delicate and each person should be treated with care and compassion.
