    Dr. Hardesty did my remove and replace breast augmentation on July 3rd. I am 6 days post op and I feel AMAZING! From the 1st moment I walked into his office to get my consultation, to the moment I left the surgery center, they treated me like family. I had 12 year old saline implants, and one had ruptured in April due to a mammogram. When I went for my consultation, Dr Hardesty was professional, caring and listened to all my concerns and what I was hoping my final look to be. I went with the "gummies" which I highly recommend. The entire office staff is amazing: sweet, knowledgeable, and professional. Narsel, the nurse, spent a lot of time with me making sure I got the perfect size for me and my body frame and that I was 100% happy. Elizabeth was wonderful about explaining the financial process, and the whole staff remembered who I was after only one visit. I was nervous the day of surgery, but the staff and Dr Hardesty put me at ease. I could not possibly be more pleased with my results! They look exactly as I imagined and had explained to Dr the look I was going for. My pain was very minimal, I have next to no bruising, and I was up and moving the day of surgery with no issues (still following Dr's orders, of course). Dr even gives you his cell number to text him with any concerns post op. Who does that?! No one! That is just one reason he is the best! I go to echocardiogram school, and I was fine to go to school the following weekend. At school, all my classmates said how amazing I looked and at least 6 of my fellow students asked for Dr Hardesty's contact information for a breast augmentation consult. I highly recommend if you are thinking about ANY cosmetic procedure, go see Dr. Hardesty! He is the BEST and his bedside manner matches his surgical skills! 10/10 would recommend him to anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. He did my daughter's breast implants 3 years ago, and she did as amazing as well. If you want your surgery done right and would like to go to a surgeon and an office that makes you feel like family, do yourself a favor and book a free consultation!

    This is my left breast where my implant had fallen out from my breast pocket right after surgery. Pic was taken months after.

    Unfortunately I got a beyond botched boob job :( I am a young single mom who had been wanting a breast augmentation for years!!! I always wished I could wear dresses that showed cleavage but never had the big boobs for them. I saved up for years and when I was just $1500 short I sold my car so I can get this augmentation done. So you can understand how badly I wanted this. Getting my surgery done here has been my biggest life regret. Not only did I lose $8,000 that I spent years saving but I'm disfigured and mutilated on both of my breast PERMANTLY because I can't afford to get this corrected by someone else. I wasn't self conscious before, I just wanted bigger boobs and now I'm so self conscious I can't even wear a top that shows cleavage without people seeing my mutilation. I can't get intimate with people because of this.. I can't wear bikinis... this surgery has made me cry myself to sleep many nights. Immediately after my surgery I noticed the implant on my left breast fell out of out the breast pocket. I texted Dr. Hardesty a picture and he told me I had a 80% chance it would correct itself without me needing surgery again. The next thing I noticed was I had a huge crease on the right side of my breast. It looks hideous. He told me there's nothing he can do about the crease because it's "the anatomy of my body" that's the problem not the boob job and he said he would try his best to make it look better. After 8 months passed it was finally time for my second surgery by Dr. Hardesty so he could fix the issues. I was so excited for this date I waited 8 long months!! I was counting down the months then the weeks and then the days! I was so happy to finally get them fixed I cried the day of my surgery because I thought finally I don't have to feel ugly and embarrassed! I couldn't afford anesthesia I could only afford the surgery where I was awake (THANK GOD) because after he finished and sutured me back up, I looked in the mirror and had a panic attack because the breast with the crease looked 5x worse than before. He told me it was because he put extra sutures in and that there's a chance the crease would go away once the sutures dissolved by why would I risk that?? Why would I risk the crease being worse and not going away just like it didn't go away the first time when he told me I had a 80% my other breast would correct itself. I couldn't trust his chances. So he opened me back up for a 3rd time to attempt to make the crease less noticeable. My left breast now looks okay but my right breast still has a ugly crease and on top of that now my nipple is completely pointing to the left and is on the left side of my boob. It looks worse than before. My left nipple is still lifted and perfectly centered so when you look at both my boobs at the same time you see one normal one and the other one is so uneven with the nipple way lower by inches and all the way to the side of the boob. My nipple wasn't messed up like this after my first surgery by him just my second one. So not only do you see the ugly crease but you see completely unsymmetrical and uneven nipples. In the pictures I've attached you'll see my before picture at the end. Through my entire experience Dr.Hardesty was also very forgetful. He would tell me one thing at one visit and then totally contradict himself and tell me something opposite at the next visit and this happened often. I recommend he takes notes during each appointment so he can remember what was discussed.. out of the 15 times I was at his office he only took notes my first visit and the visit right before my surgery. That made me feel not important because I felt like he was always in a rush and kept trying to seem like my major concerns were no big deal because there was a chance they would correct themselves and if not he would do his best to fix it. He also told me he doesn't know why the crease is there and my breast never had a crease before the surgery. Since he worked on my right breast 3 times I now have nerve damage. Anytime something touched my right side I get a shocking pain and same thing when I try lifting my arm up I get the same shocking pain in my breast. I put my trust into imagine plastic surgery and now all I can imagine is getting my breasts fixed one day. :(

    When Dr. H questions if I was even a real patient. Here you go!
    Tuyet V.

    Please read my previous review How insulting this doctor pretends he doesn't know or ever saw me. A quick simple search would confirm I was a patient. If he can't remember patients or conversations, then that's a big issue & he shouldn't be cutting people open. I cannot make all of this up if I wanted! You shouldn't dismiss my greivences so quickly. Be professional and uphold your standards. I am a REAL unsatisfied patient and it is my right to free speech and warn others.

    Tummy tuck two years post-op
    Tina J.

    I can't even put into words how extremely satisfied I am with Dr. Hardisty & his staff. I spent about a year doing research before I finally decided to go to Dr. Hardisty's office. This was the best decision I have ever made! During my consultation he noticed a spot on my boyfriend's face and insisted he get it checked out, it ended up being cancerous. ( he goes above and beyond ) If you're are reading this review while trying to decide on what Doctor to pick, my advice to you is... you can quit looking because you just found the best that there is! I'm including a before and after picture of my tummy tuck ( my new stomach )

Allison as always very professional, gentle, and incredibly thorough. She explained every step, made sure I was comfortable with numbing, and the treatment felt manageable even though I was nervous. The PRP addition has my skin already feeling tighter and more radiant (even on day 1), and the redness/tightness is exactly what she prepared me for. She sent me home with excellent aftercare products, the Rescue Smoothing Complex and mask have been lifesavers for calming things down overnight. I felt completely taken care of. Today I returned for lip filler with Breanna. Breanna was kind, precise, and listened closely to my goal: subtle but noticeable plump with natural definition and that sexy perk. She checked my healing skin from the microneedling and confirmed it was safe to proceed.

Before purchasing my membership, I had already completed approximately seven sessions in the treatment areas I signed up for. I relied on staff expertise to recommend the package that best fit my needs and assumed my previous progress would be considered during that process. After signing, I realized that if I already have little to no hair growth remaining in these areas, I may be paying for many months of treatments that I may not realistically need. I attempted to resolve these concerns directly and specifically asked whether my membership could be adjusted to better fit my treatment needs based on my existing progress. I was informed that adjustments or modifications were not possible. What was most disappointing was that after escalating my concerns to management, I still did not feel that meaningful solutions, alternatives, or individualized consideration were provided. The area manager was unable to provide clarity regarding how this membership realistically fits someone who has already completed multiple prior sessions and instead directed me back toward the contract without addressing the concerns themselves. My frustration is not simply about the contract itself--it is about feeling like my individual circumstances, treatment history, and concerns were not genuinely considered during either the consultation process or after attempting to resolve the issue. My advice: Ask a lot of questions before signing, especially if you have already had previous laser sessions. Make sure you fully understand whether the package being recommended actually fits your treatment needs before committing. What is most frustrating is feeling like there was little willingness to work with me or find a reasonable solution despite raising concerns before services even began. It is difficult to understand how financing payments can be accepted upfront through PatientFi before treatment starts, while customers who raise legitimate concerns are left without meaningful alternatives or solutions.

Ironically, this place was highly recommended, which made this experience even more disappointing. The doctor lacked bedside manners.

On our first consultation appointment, he was kind of offstandish and rude to me as I was trying to inquire about things to expect post op. After he cut me off because he was assuming what I was going to ask, I responded and said that I wasn't going to ask what he assumed I was going to ask. At the next appointment, it was the procedure day, and that took a little more time since it was the day of the procedure. At the final appointment, the post op appointment, we were in the waiting room for about an hour after our scheduled time, which is ok. The stitch removal took about 2-5 mins, and another 2-5 minutes before the doctor came in. He didn't double-check the stitches, but rather just informed us that the skin sent to the lab was not cancerous and reminded us of aftercare, and we left. So, nowhere did he spend a lot of time with us, so that's a lie. Although he spoke with his team, still no accountability or apologies. I don't care to speak with this doctor or the office any further, and none of the reviews will be removed. What's crazier is he keeps responding. Only now that these comments and experiences are made public. But this was not how he was on the phone brushing me off and being dismissive. Would he still be this way if it wasn't public? Seems like he's talking more to the public in third person. I reached out via internet inquiry box from his website. Then contacted the office a few days later. He was not kind on the phone. No one told him to call me while he was mid-surgery. After being dismissive, I decided to leave a review. He actually ONLY reached out after the damage was already done customer service wise. Would he have reached out genuinely otherwise? Absolutely not. Why would I want to further personally interact?

    Dr. Childers is the best surgeon (imo). I had a couple of procedures that were critical and needed…read moreto be done and referred 2 family members from breast reconstruction to tummy tuck. He is amazing, very pleased with his work. He is very experienced and bedside manners are compassionate. I trust him . He is very detailed and does beautiful work. His staff is also very polite. I recommend Dr. Childers, you will love him too.

    The front desk girls were very nice, professional. The price was reasonable…read more I recommend this place if you're looking to get Botox

    Sadly, I wish Dr. Childers and his staff were kinder, more empathetic, and caring. No worries and…read moreno apologies for mistakes or mishaps. Truly, another disappointment when dealing with the folks in the medical field. And after reviewing other reviews as far back as 2021...I see it's been a problem for others previously as well (regarding stitches that weren't removed properly by staff). Ironically, this place was highly recommended, which made this experience even more disappointing. The doctor lacked bedside manners.
