Testimonials
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Simmons throughout my entire process. Dr. Simmons professionalism and level of care made the travel 100% worth it. He was incredibly attentive and made sure all of my questions were addressed before I went forward with my surgery.
Very personable and knowledgeable doctor and staff. I had an explant and breast lift I am 3 weeks out and very pleased with my results. I would highly recommend Dr. Simmons, he was very responsive to any concerns I had and made himself very accessible.
I had liposuction if my abdomen and flanks. Dr. Oliver did an amazing job! I noticed improvement even the first day after surgery. Dr. Oliver is very kind and professional. He and his staff were very helpful guiding me through the entire process of the surgery. Dr. Oliver also made sure my post op pain was controlled. I highly recommend him for his expertise.
