Well I'm going to start by saying I think reviews are not easy to write. Being an owner of a top…read morerated hair salon in Center City Philadelphia I've seen bad reviews be created because emotions were running high and they weren't able to look at the facts from beginning to end because of emotions being in the way. I was recommended to Dr Lo by a fellow hair stylist who had breast augmentation. Her breasts were gorgeous and she had started from a very small size and after he was finished with her she was on the larger side and looked very natural. So I went in for a consultation because I was starting with basically nothing. I previously had gone to several other surgeons for consultation and it seem like their answer was yes yes yes to everything. But this doctor was different he was direct and told me the truth and sugar-coated nothing and that is exactly why I picked him. When I was so hung up on how big are they going to be his answer was exactly this " when you come back to me in 6 months bitching that they're not big enough I'm going to tell you that it was your anatomy that decided how big they were going to be not me we are only going to do what your body will allow you to do". Finally somebody to tell me the truth. He did finish with saying he would try to go as large as he could. Then explained there was a method that could show him how big they could be while in surgery and was very confident that I would land with a larger C or at least a D. So I scheduled. Of course when I woke up from the anesthesia and other meds I was very foggy but was still able to ask the question.... How big are they? He explained to me that he got the largest implant in there. Then the healing process began. Everything he explained to me has come true for the breast augmentation. I've entrusted him with injectables also. We've used Botox for wrinkles and Voluma for check volume over the past year and I really believe that the his back ground in facial reconstruction makes me really trust him with injectables. My God I've seen nightmares with that stuff. So now the latest procedure that I am still recovering from is the tummy tuck. Today marks the two weeks. So needless to say I'm still a little sore still waiting for swelling to go away and everything else to clear up but already I see and feel a difference. I did other consultations for tummy tuck as well and no other doctor mentioned leaving with a pain pump so the incision could have 3 days to heal and be numb so I would be more comfortable. This was very appealing. The girl who does my eyelash extensions head the same procedure from another doctor and did not have the pain pump and said it was barely tolerable for the few days after... that really let me know that I would be okay after the procedure with Dr Lo. So I will check back and leave more feedback after the tummy settles down. Also on a side note his staff is great they answer questions and really let me know what I needed to do. The doctor called me the night of each surgery and his staff called the following day. Ok...I'm finished gushed.

Many years ago, I went under the knife with Dr Lo and when I woke up, I was given larger breasts…read morethan I asked for because he said "they looked better". For many years, I have hated the size and my body when I look in the mirror. I never wanted larger breasts than I asked for. Dr. Lo is misogynistic and uses patriarchal control over women to get what he wants and to get his after photos to his liking; disregarding a woman's mental health, bodily autonomy and well being. Here I am, and for many years I have not had the money to fix them to how I personally wanted them originally. For myself. I have been in a lot of emotional pain for many years. (As well as a sub muscular tear which made my breast migrate into my armpit. I know the size must have contributed. I have never lifted heavy weights). I wanted to have small breasts all along and I believe I'd look great with them. Dr Lo's opinion of how he thinks a woman's body should look is degrading and speaks volumes about the type of man he is. A woman's voice is SO IMPORTANT when going under the knife, under anesthesia. No matter the shape or size of a woman, we glow most beautifully when we love ourselves in our body, get to have our own independence and be able to think for ourselves. No man should be able to take over you as soon as he puts you out and make MAJOR life altering decisions. Do not trust Dr. Lo with your body, he is just going to do what he wants or what he thinks "looks better" for you. And you might just wake up confused, in pain and unhappy for the next 20 years.

on Aug 12th I had a major surgery, and on Aug 15th had unexpected urological complications that no…read moreone expected for which there was not a preexisting condition. Dr. Sloane was in immediate contact with me, and was nothing short of extraordinary in staying in touch, and was virtually on call at anytime. We spoke several times, he replied to texts night or day he guided the ICU nurse through a procedure. Post hospital, I went to his office (today) and he did a procedure that solved the problem. And now my body is functioning normally! But Dr. Sloane didn't stop there. As a precaution, he is sending mt to a get a ultrasound just to make sure all is well. He does all he does with super confidence and at the same time a close connection and empathy with his patient. I am so grateful to Dr. Sloane and recommend him highly to any man with urological issues or who needs a consultation. A true master at his craft.

Clearly really experienced, talked through all the details, things to look out for, etc; helped us understand how to think about what was important, rather than the textbook, neutral answers we've been getting from too many other doctors lately. The procedure itself was super easy; he talked me through what would happen and then what was happening, and checked in regarding pain and sensation along the way. Recovery has been way easier than I thought; only a tiny bit of swelling, the expected discomfort, but not painful. Overall, just a really great experience. The office staff was easy to schedule with, clear about availability, and flexible when I had to shuffle some things around. Other offices I called were hard to get through with, had distant availability, did vasectomies one day a month, couldn't confirm how long after a consultation I'd actually be able to book a procedure, had web forms that went no where, put me on hold for 30 minutes before terminating the call, etc. The one thing they need to work on is their tech -- email confirmations/calendar appointments and electronic docs or links instead of printouts (maybe they do this, but it wasn't apparent/offered?); the site has links to a patient portal, but it doesn't seem to work; they have a robo-caller call to confirm appointments, but it doesn't leave voicemails, so it just looks like you missed a call from the office. Anyway, thanks to Dr. Sloane & staff for making that easier than I expected!

I had been diagnosed with having a sports hernia in about 2011. I didn't report it at work because…read moreI had a hernia the year before and thought it was some kind of scar tissue that I could feel. After finding out this wasn't the case,every doctor or orthopedic I saw they said they couldn't perform that particular operation but knew of someone who could. This was even told to me by the person who performed my original hernia. Each time I looked at the name they gave me it said Bill Myers. Bill Myers serviced the NFL,NBA MLB and NHL. With the I realized he didn't accept any insurance because these athletic teams would just pay cash and put way more money in his pocket.I even new the man that he took golf lessons from and Bill personally called me at dinnertime. I'm just a Union Bricklayer and 12 or 14 grand was a lot of money. I'm sure its much more now.When he called me for a consult I had no expectations.So he said bring 500 bucks and be there at a certain time to be evaluated He said to me you definitely have a sports hernia when do you want to get it done. I asked how much and he told me the same number as before. I wasn't looking for discount but I was hoping I could maybe get on a payment plan but that was something he didn't entertain. Complete waste of my time. Instead of just handing this guy the money he wanted for the procedure,I took my time and called across the country in order to find someone else who could perform the job. I got word another guy in my backyard could also do the job. His name was DR Alan SCHURICHT. I had already called PENN Hospital on 8th and Walnut in downtown Philly. When I asked why so secretive they said if not everybody with jock itch would be here.After sending all my test results and a 30 minute consult we were set up the following week to do the procedure. I was back to doing light squats in 3 weeks while my insurance was welcomed How about that a workingman has his insurance accepted so he can get back to his job. It turns out Sports hernia is just a street name for the injury that Doctors called sports hernia because its a newer injury that lots of athletes were getting that had no name. At the time it was considered exploratory because it was a new. Im pretty sure it was some kind of tear so insurance companies didn't consider it a hernia and therefore didn't know where the injury fit into the insurance coverage part of the business.ALAN SCHURICHT WAS A CLASS ACT AND WOULD BE THE FIRST OPTION FOR ME BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF HIS SERVICE WAS AWESOME. He was a Class act just a nice guy. Im a lil late on my review but I would love to hear what others may have gone through in order to get this procedure done.

So I realized (almost 6 years later!) that I never reviewed Dr. Bucky and his staff - unacceptable!…read moreI decided to sit in my car and whip out a review real quick after parking near his office and seeing his name on my map. I went to Dr. Bucky after a friend (who was a doctor for Penn at the time) suggested him when I was looking at doctors for breast implants. I had recently gotten a large settlement from a car accident that left me with permanent injuries to my back, and I had also just lost a bunch of weight. It was time to treat myself to something that I knew would boost my self-confidence and happiness. I researched Dr. Bucky myself before calling the office and saw nothing but amazing and informative reviews and very positive before and after photos. I made the plunge and called to make my appointment. There was a consultation fee ($100 or $150 maybe? This was back in 2013...) and if I chose Dr. Bucky, the fee would be applied to the procedure. Cool. Sounds good. Everything was explained in detail over the phone which I thought was really great. Cue the day of the appointment, my friend (who recently had breast augmentation surgery in Los Angeles) and I show up to Dr. Bucky's office in Washington Square. Obviously the aesthetic and vibe in Washington Square is a little different than the rest of the city, and I was a 20 year old kid (essentially) with hot pink hair and tons of tattoos and facial piercings -- slightly out of place here, but whatever. When I walked in, my age and appearance didn't make the staff treat me differently, which was (and still is...) super refreshing and reassuring. Dr. Bucky is the best, and his prices reflect that along with a very upscale clientele; I stuck out like a sore thumb in the waiting room! I get brought back (with my friend) and get changed to make it easier for him to... assess the situation, we'll say. I speak with Dr. Bucky's nurse, explain in more detail why I'm there, blah blah blah. On we go.. Dr. Bucky comes in for the consultation, and I still swear to this day, he was so, so nice, professional, and just overall amazing! I explained how self conscious I was with my small and sad B cup boobs, and losing weight just made the situation with the girls worse! Dr. Bucky totally understood and gave me an in-depth explanation on what his plan would be: a mid-level lift with implants to bring me to a DD cup. I was sold. Like if I could've handed over all the cash then and had the surgery right away, I probably would've done that. Side note: during the consult Dr. Bucky explained how they include a rigorous vitamin regiment prior to and after surgery to help my body prep for everything. Where the hell else do you get that kind of care? Because I haven't seen it before. Scoring more points even after I'm sold! Way to go! Erin (I think?) was the patient coordinator at the time. She would be the one to handle my payments, scheduling, etc. She was awesome. It was at this point in my interactions with Dr. Bucky and his staff that I told Erin about my "settlement" money, and quite honestly, I had never spent this kind of money EVER! She was super sweet and supportive with the whole process. I had a super ridiculous time with my bank declining the large transactions I was trying to make to pay for the procedure, and Erin let me mail them checks from my parents' account to pay for everything since my bank wasn't having it! Points again! I'll spare you more rambling and not go into detail about the day of the procedure, I mean it was still surgery after all... I got to Penn, they did the thing, I woke up HOURS later feeling I got drop-kicked in the chest by an elephant. Dr. Bucky, his staff, and the staff at Penn were all great. Now it was time to go home! Fair warning to anyone considering a lift/implants: you're going to feel pretttty rough for a while. I thought I was dying. However, Dr. Bucky prescribed me Valium to take post-surgery alongside the narcotic pain medication I was already prescribed by another doctor for my back at the time. He told me to trust him and that it would help more than anything. And boyyyy did it. Post surgery points! I had three follow-up visits to check on how everything was healing/to remove stitches/make sure the implants were settling okay. I felt like that was really, really awesome and like they really wanted to make sure I was okay. Six years later, I'm still so happy with my decision to have Dr. Bucky do the procedure. My boobs do not *look* fake, which I hear all the time (such a strange compliment, I know).. I recommend Dr. Bucky to EVERYONE. I keep meaning to go back to his office for Botox and other procedures. They are the BEST!

From consultation to post-op care, he was attentive, precise, and never pushy. He understood I wasn't chasing "overdone." I just wanted a refreshed, natural look -- and that's exactly what I got. The brow lift was done at the hairline, not endoscopically -- which gave a smooth, lifted result without raising my hairline or creating a harsh "surprised" look. My upper eyelids are now clean and open, without that heavy fold I'd grown used to. And the revision rhinoplasty? Spot on. He corrected the flaws from a previous surgery without making my nose look pinched or generic -- just natural, centered, and elegant. Healing went smoothly -- no infections, no major bruising, no surprises. Just results. Dr. Heffelfinger has a conservative, artistic eye and a reassuring presence. I felt safe, seen, and cared for every step of the way. Jefferson Facial Plastics is top-tier -- clean, organized, and genuinely supportive. I would recommend him to anyone serious about facial work done right.
