    I am a physician from South Florida who flew to Birmingham, Alabama just so I could visit Dr…read moreWilliam Hedden at the Hedden Plastic Surgery Center and have the "miraDry" procedure performed on myself, as quite honestly, I sweat profusely and after I heard him lecture on this topic at a medical conference, I wanted to have this procedure performed on myself to stop my underarm sweat and odor. As every physician knows, doctors make the worst patients, and I was on my best behavior to avoid being one of those patients that every doctor hates to see when they walk into the treatment room. So, after a flight to Birmingham and a night at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Mountain Brook, I took an Uber to the Hedden Plastic Surgery Center and was the first patient of the day. Upon arrival, the office and surgical suite was stunningly beautiful and modern that could rival any medical office in the country. I was greeted by a friendly staff, and completed my paperwork on one of their computers. I was taken into an examination room, given a full informed consent and explanation of the miraDry procedure. Truth be told, I already did some research before hand via one of his nurses and was well prepared to have the procedure performed. I had the pleasure to have Wynn work on me and she was an outstanding medical nurse that has performed the miraDry procedure many times. After a local anesthesia that I barley felt, the miraDry procedure is like a handheld wand that uses miraWave energy that targets and destroys sweat and odor glands in your underarm. Once those glands are destroyed they do not grow back so that means once they are gone, they are gone for good. The entire procedure took about 45 minuted each side and I had pretty much zero pain and took a Uber to the airport to travel home. The only challenge was trying to keep the ice packs under each armpit and travel on a plane, so if I had to do it again, I would have spend another night in Alabama and leave the next day. So there you go, I had the miraDry procedure performed on myself and now I get to write a Yelp review about an embarrassing medical condition I have (well technically I am cured now so the correct word is "had" and I am glad I did it). The day after and next few days after the procedure were not bad at all, other than some significant swelling in my underarms that made me look like I was at the gym, and there was some mild redness. I really had no pain, no complications, and would 100% recommend this procedure and Dr Hedden to anyone that has excessive underarm sweating or odor. I am sure that there are other doctors and medical centers that offer this procedure, but I decided to go to Dr Hedden as I felt he was a world class expert in this procedure and after hearing him lecture and spend some time in his office, I am super happy I traveled to see him and his staff --- he deserves my 5 star rating on Yelp.

    If you confirm an appointment for 10:30 am and still make someone wait until noon at the earliest…read moreto be seen. That's not good customer service and a tad unprofessional in my opinion. That person had to take the day off, arrange for coverage, rearrange a tight schedule to meet after much research. Go from building to building to even find this place. It makes me wonder how everything else is being handled. That should be the last worry on someone's mind. Time is also money for potential patients. An hour drive each way and miss another appointment is ridiculous. Unorganized. No thanks.

    Dr. Beckenstein is an amazing surgeon, a warm and personable man, and his entire office staff has…read moretreated me like family. I was deciding between two plastic surgeons to do a double breast reconstruction from a fire 26 years ago. I had skin graphs after the fire, and then a reconstruction the year after. But I never have had normal looking breasts since the fire. I went to the original reconstructive surgeon from 26 years back, who gave me a new quote for the reconstruction surgery which was high, and he also said I would need another surgery after that one. Neither would be covered by insurance and for two breast surgeries I would be paying well over twenty grand. Even though money was an issue, I also didn't want to use someone who was cheap just because I couldn't afford it. I went to see Dr. Beckenstein to get a second opinion after researching and finding how much reconstructive breast work with women with breast cancer he performs. The vibe in his office was so warm and loving, not like the cold and sterile environment of the other plastic surgery office. I met with him, and found him to listen, to be to the point, and to have new ideas. He came up with a different treatment plan involving one surgery, retaining and grafting my nipples, and was able to get insurance to cover the mastopexy. It was a miraculous day when that happened. But if insurance had denied it, it would have been 1/2 the price for out of pocket pay for reconstructive surgery as the other physician, and would not require a second surgery. He would graft my nipples during surgery, and we would use one of his four tattoo artists on staff to perfect it down the line. When I asked the other physician how we would do tattooing, he was very unconcerned and just said, "We will figure that out later." Well, the main reason I wanted this surgery was to have nipples and areolas that looked like what they were supposed to be. One surgeon had four people on staff trained to create that illusion, while the other said we would figure it out later. I had the surgery last week, and the work he performed was nothing short of a miracle. The staff has been so helpful, and they make sure you have every key person at the office's contact info for questions during the pre and post op process. He called us back over the weekend when we had a question, and has been such a blessing. I would recommend anyone who is interested in a procedure to go see him. Not only is he an expert in the field, his prices are very fair, his staff is top notch, and his surgical hand is amazing. Thank you Dr. Beckenstein.

    I have never met a more caring physician and staff. Dr. Beckenstein went above and beyond in every…read moreaspect of my care. He and the staff made me feel good about myself when I was at a low point in my life. I highly recommend Dr. Beckenstein for the care of anyone going through breast cancer. He is wonderful !!!!

I was offer Prosecco- so there ya go! I took it :)) Kelly is the nurse who cared for me and did my laser and must say she is really good at what she does!! She also patiently answered my questions and made me feel very comfortable- not to mention the results I'm seeing have been great so far!! Dr Billiao has made a very nice place to come for any dermatology or laser needs - she is warm, kind, makes you feel at ease and comfortable. So glad i found this place! If you know me- you know I love lasers and they have cutting edge equipment And trained professionals that bring amazing results!

She was highly recommended by a friend, so I stepped out and gave her a try. Her treatment plan was very conservative - and I really wanted to be more aggressive (after all, this was my FACE). My regular dermatologist came back to town and diagnosed me with acute skin lupus - so I was able to begin a treatment plan. However - Dr Billano has the zen of injectables, according to my friend - so I let her do my botox. She was PERFECT - it's very easy to over-inject my brows, leaving me with a bit of a droopy eyelid and she completely understood my concern and did a perfect job. My forehead was smooth and youthful and my eyelids remained exactly as they were. So - even today - I go to Dr Billano for cosmetic dermatology, and my other dermatologist for problems and issues.
