Today, for the very first time in my life, I wore a two-piece bathing suit... and I mean EVER. Not even as a teenager did I have the confidence to wear one. Choosing Dr. Ray as my surgeon was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From my consultation to my recovery, he and his entire team made me feel comfortable, cared for, and supported every step of the way. His work exceeded every expectation I had. This surgery wasn't just about changing my body, it completely changed how I see myself. Dr. Ray gave me something I never thought I'd have: confidence. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin and can honestly say I love my body. If you're considering surgery and you're looking for a surgeon who is not only incredibly talented but also truly cares about his patients, I cannot recommend Dr. Andrew Ray enough. Thank you for changing my life and giving me a confidence I never thought was possible. I will be forever grateful.

Time for my update and experience as of 09/28/14…read more I am going to share my whole story for those that care and are considering a similar cosmetic/life changing medical enhancement procedure : Abdominoplasty aka the "tummy tuck". That's exactly what I underwent and I couldn't be more pleased with the results even in this early stage of healing. It has been a mere 6 days since my procedure was performed at the skilled expertise hands of Dr. Chad Deal of Southern Surgical Arts located in Calhoun, GA. (They have a second medical building in Chattanooga, Tennessee as well.) Now, for those of you who may judge or have something negative to comment or think, -go ahead and waste your time, - you simply won't hurt my feelings. Now, where was I? Okay, let share the reason why I choose this route. 16 years ago yesterday, -I had my first and only child and my abdominal wall was naturally stretched out. Now, in most cases, the abdominal wall snaps back with proper exercise, care, etc. - but I was one of those that unfortunately dismissed exercise at that time and just settled with the bit of hanging skin that was left behind. Skip ahead to 2009. That is when I realized exercise was quite beneficial and not only lost many many pounds, - but got in great shape by mid 2010 and looked pretty good with my clothes ON. Fact. Well, during this time I even was doing 3 sets of 500 crunches 3x a day. A little tighter stomach but still the extra skin and not close to a bikini body. Jump ahead to this year. In April I joined X3 Sports in Inman Park after packing a good 25 pounds back on (slowly) over this past 16 months or so. And I even went with a personal trainer, the whole works. -At one time I had a record of hitting X3 Sports 89, -yes EIGHTY NINE days in a row. Still the sagging loose skin. -rest of my body showed great improvement. Enter abdominoplasty consultations : 4 of them. The first one (located in Midtown) told me I could get it almost right away and would be good to go in a week for a reunion in California I was hoping to attend. WRONG. UNREALISTIC. ***INTERUPTION! I actually have my follow up appt shortly in Calhoun so I have to continue this when I return. Hopefully getting my tubes out today. Oh, and it turns out that NO amount of exercise would have EVER given me these much-to-be desired (early) results. My abdominis rectus was over 5 1/2 cm separated and unattached. Thank You, Dr. Deal. I love this talented, warm, realistic, personable Doctor. So, the bottom line is that if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested, -message me and I can even send You the "before and after" pics, - what was cut off and sucked out, -me still on the operating table after the procedure, - and me today, -8 days later. (I don't know how well those pics would be received if I post them here, lol..) Anyway, I made the best decision EVER. This procedure goes hand in hand with self esteem, happiness, quality of life, and more. -And I am almost 44 years old. I so deserved this! Dr. Chad Deal @ SOUTHERN SURGICAL ARTS = AMAZINGLY CRAZY GOOD RESULTS. :)

The new space is larger but still feels very intimate, with individual rooms that make it quiet and relaxing. They did an amazing job with the design and decor--it's beautiful, calming, and instantly puts you at ease. I was greeted right away by the owner, who was very sweet and welcoming. He walked me back to the sitting area where I waited for my massage with Mary. When Mary came to get me, she was warm and professional and took time to confirm the type of massage and any specific pressure points to focus on. The massage itself was amazing. The table was warm and comfortable, which felt especially perfect on a cold, rainy Saturday. Overall, everything was wonderful from start to finish. Highly recommend, and I can't wait to go back!

The lady kept saying it was "bc I shaved" (mind you I haven't shaved in a month and I only use trimmers, not a razor. Not to mention it was not a welcoming environment, and there was little to no instruction on the process prior. She just immediately jumped straight to waving with no forewarning. I opted for the sugar which was supposed to be "smoother and less painful", so I paid more for nothing. she also used the same clump of wax the entire time. (not sure if that is standard or not). she never held the skin taught so it felt like I was going to be lifted off the table by my V with each rip of wax. once finished, she opened the door and walked out while I still was undressed and uncovered. After dressing, she met me at the counter and made me and the receptionist schedule a follow up appointment right then. very pressing and pushy. felt obligated to leave a tip as well. overall, poor experience and would NOT RECOMMEND.

Every treatment we experienced was excellent. The massage was fantastic, and I even had my first facial. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being far more relaxing than I imagined, and I left feeling refreshed. We also spent time in the salt cave, which was a unique and beautiful experience. It's clear they put a great deal of thought into the design and the small details throughout the spa. Between treatments, we enjoyed several of the amenities, including the steam room and the gorgeous relaxation lounge. It's an inviting space where you can unwind, read a book, have a conversation, or enjoy complimentary tea and light snacks. There's also a café on-site, and one of the best parts is that you don't even have to change out of your robe to enjoy it. The food was surprisingly good as well. Every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely understood what great customer service looks like. We also stayed overnight in one of the on-site rooms, which was spacious, comfortable, and a perfect complement to the spa experience. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and I would highly recommend this spa to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. It exceeded our expectations in every way.

I'm giving it four stars because while everything was nice and the people were friendly it was recorded for the holiday with blue line flags and support the cops signs all over the entrance and in the check in room. It wasn't a welcoming environment for someone new to the area and certainly signaled values before you even get through the doors. I wouldn't feel comfortable sending someone here on my recommendation. Maybe the vibe is different when it isn't the holiday season but wanted to share the feedback for folks who wouldn't be comfortable!
