One of the greatest people I have ever had the opportunity of meeting is Dr. George Dreszer. I was referred to this remarkable person by another incredible surgeon who saved my life. Dr. Dreszer is extraordinary! When I began my journey like most I carried doubt in my mind because the surgery I had to undertake would be a difficult challenge for even the most skilled surgeons. However, Dr. Dreszer and the whole Vanguard team made the whole journey feel easy and treated me like family. My surgery was supposed to be intimidating as surgery usually is, but that was not the case. Dr. Dreszer did so many amazing things to ease my mind prior to my surgery, took amazing care of me during my surgery, and followed up on how I was doing regularly checking in on me. All the moments following up for the surgery were very reassuring. I had many questions before surgery and he was able to answer all of them. Most good surgeons do but it wasn't just the answers he gave, it was the way he expressed them. He wanted to make sure that I understood every step I needed to take, and he needed to take to make this surgery a success! He genuinely cares about all his patients and I could just feel that when speaking to him. I told him that I am a college student and my background. I told him all that I had gone through and what this surgery meant to me. He did everything in his power to help me! The big day I walk into the surgical center with a sense of tranquility because I know I am in good hands. That day I had no further questions because we had already gone through an extensive list and there was nothing left to ask. I didn't see him again until a few minutes before going under anesthesia. He drew on my body all the cuts he was planning on making and asked me if he I had any further questions. I was ready! When I awoke the recovery was as expected and he regularly checked in on me. He then started asking me many questions making sure the process was going well. Finally, a weight had been lifted off my shoulders! Dr. Dreszer changed my life! I have no way of ever thanking him enough! He is in incredible the way he treated me as his patient, the way he cared for me during the recovery, and the way he looks forward to seeing me be the best version of myself! read more

I am not sure if you remember but I walked into your office two and a half years ago....28 years old, diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, scared to death and having no idea what I was about to endure. I watched my mother die from breast cancer and I made the decision, without a doubt, two days prior to seeing you to have a double mastectomy. You do not know this, but I switched my appointment that day so my consult would be with you and not the other physician in your practice. Albert Einstein once said "There are only two ways to live your life...one as though nothing is a miracle and the other as if everything is." I believe you have been my miracle. Someone told me you were "the best" so I knew i had to see the best! Your compassion, amazing bedside manner, knowledge, positivity and sense of humor calmed me from the very beginning and has continued to pacify my fear throughout numerous procedures/surgeries. My body has endured so much trauma physically and emotionally that sometimes I was not sure I could go through it any longer. I want you to know how calming my visits to your office were, you never made me feel like I had to be "super woman" (even though I tried) and were always sensitive to my fears/anger/tears. You have always been so positive with each and every surgery and that is exactly what I needed. You have said to me many times "Kelly you have been through so much, but we are almost there." Well, we are finally here and I want to thank you for that. I want to thank you for literally making me "whole" again. I want to thank you for bringing my self-esteem back to life, for bringing "me" back to life. Please do not ever change, please always remain your wonderful and humble self. I hope I can one day be as great a nurse practitioner as you are a physician and touch peoples' lives the way you have touched mine. I am not sure where life will take us but I will never forget the compassion you have shown me. I have said it before but I could not have gotten through this without you and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am not saying goodbye because I will be back when I start getting wrinkles and having babies and need Botox and a tummy tuck haha! With love and the utmost gratitude, Kelly read more

It is with much pleasure that I extend my appreciation to the Doctors and staff of Vanguard Aesthetic Center. From the preliminary meeting that I had with Doctor George Dreszer I felt very comfortable with his professional mannerism that he displayed. Doctor Dreszer was very patient with me allowing more than ample time to answer any questions that I had regarding the procedure. He educated me and assured me that I was not going to have the " Burt Reynolds " wide eyed look, which was a relief. Never having any cosmetic surgery performed, I presumed that Dr. Dreszer observed that I was overwhelmed with all of the information that I just obtained. I was advised to go home and ponder the surgery as well as any additional questions that I may have left out and needed to be discussed in the future. I felt relieved that I wasn't pressured Into making an immediate decision. I conducted a thorough web research of Dr .Dreszer and his associates, which led to no other path than to have complete confidence in him and his practice. At the end of my third consultation I was introduced to Amber who assisted me in filling out the paperwork. Amber assured me that I was not going to be hurried filling out the forms. It was so nice to feel welcomed and at ease. Weeks later I underwent surgery, with everything thoroughly conveyed to my by Dr. Dreszer. Everything he told me was completely accurate and without ANY hidden surprises during the surgery or post surgery. Dr. Fletcher, who assisted Dr. Dreszer in one of my procedures, was just as informative and professional as well. The office staff (Keillyn, Jami and Leslie) which assisted me with scheduling appointments were always very professional and I never had to wait an unreasonable time in the waiting room. I actually looked forward seeing the office staff for my next appointment. It was always nice to see their smiling welcoming faces. I would be remiss to not mention Elio, the technician who performed the laser treatment on me. He he was understanding, polite and a true gentleman. Overall, I highly recommend Vanguard Aesthetic If you are considering cosmetic surgery. Please don't hesitate to call Vanguard Aesthetic office and request my office number for any questions you may have. Kurt K. read more

November 2015 at age 68 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After chemo I had a bilateral mastectomy and Dr. Dreszer was right there with the breast surgeon to do the expanders for my reconstruction. A week after the surgery he told me it was OK to take a shower. When I finally looked in the mirror I cried for about 20 minutes, I was not only bald but had no breasts. When I told Dr. Dreszer this he assured me he would make me a whole woman again. He was always very kind, reassuring and spent time with me and my husband answering all of our questions. At the conclusion of my office visits he would always give me very specific instructions on what to do and what not to do and told me if I had any questions to call him. On a Saturday morning shortly after my surgery I noticed a few of my stitches had separated from the incision wound. I called the office and explained to the answering service my situation. He called me back in less than five minutes and I met him at the ER and he fixed me up. Today I saw my oncologist for my 3 month checkup (I was cancer free after the chemo and surgery) and she was thrilled with the way I looked. She sees reconstruction everyday and said I looked spectacular! This was one of the best jobs she has ever seen. Dr. Dreszer removed my port when he replaced the expanders with the implants and I pointed out this to her. She again was amazed, no scar where the port used to be. I now have beautiful breasts and a full head of hair thanks to Dr. Dreszer (the hair was God's gift to me, the eyelashes were helped with Dr. Dreszer's prescription for Latisse). Previously I was a "drooping D cup", now I am a "perky B cup"! I'm thrilled and so is my husband. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Dreszer and on many occasions I have seen Dr. Fletcher who is also amazing! The staff is all wonderful. I have always been greeted with smiles and enthusiasm. It is a pleasure to walk into their beautiful offices. And I love the way they make the appointments. I see the doctor within a few minutes of my scheduled time. I highly recommend Dr. Dreszer, Dr. Fletcher and their entire staff. If I ever decide on cosmetic surgery I now know exactly, without hesitation, where to go! read more

Date of Experience: November 15th I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the service I received at Vanguard Aesthetic offices. After breaking my hand, I was referred to Vanguard by Broward Hospital. On my initial visit on November 15th, the staff reviewed my x-rays, applied a temporary splint, and instructed me to return to the hospital for a CT scan. However, upon arriving at the hospital, I was dismayed to find out that Vanguard had not processed the necessary referral involving my insurance, preventing me from getting the scan. When I contacted Vanguard for an explanation, I was told it could take up to five days to receive insurance approval for the scan. This delay was only the beginning of a series of frustrations. After Thanksgiving, I made several attempts to follow up on the status of my referral. Each time, I was met with varying responses, excuses, and explanations from the Vanguard staff, which only added to my confusion and concern. Three weeks post my first visit, I was informed that they now required additional information from my Primary Care Physician (PCP) and that I would have to endure even more waiting time before getting my scan. This lack of coordination and urgency from Vanguard Aesthetics has prolonged my pain and discomfort. It's been FIVE weeks since my injury, and I am now genuinely worried that my hand may suffer permanent disfigurement or improper healing due to this delay. Initially, I was told my recovery time would be around eight weeks, but this seems increasingly unlikely given the current situation. The lack of effective communication and inefficient handling of my case by Vanguard Aesthetic has been highly distressing. I would not recommend their services based on my experience, as the care and urgency required in handling medical cases seem to be sorely lacking. read more

July of 2019 I was involved in an unfortunate incident where I was attacked by a dog. Consequently, he damaged and ripped off my left nares (nostril). At the ER, the maxillofacial team told me they couldn't do anything and wanted me to remain with a partially missing nose for 3 - 6 months. I was devastated. The attending physician then pointed me in the direction of Vanguard plastic surgery. Which, looking back, was the biggest blessing. The second I walked Into their office - not even 8 hours after the incident - I was greeted with the kindest, most welcoming atmosphere, and an out-of-this-world staff. Dr. Fletcher did an in office procedure to repair my nose. My mom was waterworks throughout the entire experience. She told me it was because she knew after this whirlwind, I was finally in the greatest hands I could be in. Less than a week ago, I underwent another surgery. This time, to repair the cosmetic aspect of my nostril (which by the way looked amazing after the first surgery), this was just for my own self-confidence. Dr. Fletcher repaired my nostril, performed a small rhinoplasty and septoplasty, and did dermabrasion for any leftover scarring. And let me tell you, I'm not an emotional person. But, when he took the cast off, I cried. For the first time since the incident, I felt like I was beautiful again and that i could finally put the past behind me. I was blessed to have Dr. James Fletcher as my surgeon, the best surgeon and doctor I have ever worked with. As well as Dr. George Dreszer, whom welcomed me into his practice as an urgent case, without a second of hesitation and with the upmost compassion. I dislike this 5 star rating scale, because if I could give them a trillion, I would. Dr. James Fletcher and Dr. George Dreszer, as well as the whole team at Vanguard, gave me my world back. read more

On July 2016, I had a mastectomy and DIEP flap breast reconstruction due to breast cancer. My surgeon referred me to the plastic surgeons' office of Dr. Dreszer & Dr. Fletcher. From the first moment I met them, I knew that I was in good hands. I was impressed with their knowledge, experience, and expertise as breast reconstructive surgeons. They always listened carefully to my concerns, reassuring me all the way through this difficult time. In addition, their staff, especially their assistant Elio, was always professional, diligent, courteous, and friendly. In 2017, as part of my reconstructive process, Dr. Dreszer performed a breast reduction on my right side for symmetry of both breasts and I am absolutely thrilled with my results. He possesses incredible surgical skills, a warm and caring personality, and a passion for excellence in the patients' outcome. In 2018, Dr. Fletcher performed the nipple reconstruction and it far exceeds my expectations. Dr. Fletcher is skilled and precise, and approaches reconstruction with an artist's eye. More importantly, he is so patient, kind, and calm, which made my experience easier to go through. My breast reconstruction looks natural and beautiful and it helped me regain my body confidence again. Even though this have been a long journey, I feel so blessed to have found two remarkable, talented, kind, caring, and compassionate plastic surgeons who performed these procedures together. The surgeries were a success and I am extremely satisfied. I will be forever grateful for everything they've done for me, as well as my family. I would recommend Dr. Dreszer and Dr. Fletcher to anyone considering a breast reconstruction or any kind of plastic surgery procedure because to me, they are the best! read more

To the women reading this review, if you're like I was....reading, searching and googling everything, this is my story. After a 3-D mammogram in December '17 I was given my diagnosis of lobular carcinoma! I am a realist so after several more tests I told my breast surgeon I was going to have a bilateral mastectomy and I did not want implants and I wanted to remain flat. He asked me to please meet with a plastic surgeon which I did, hence meeting Dr. Dreszer and his partner Dr. Fletcher. I had 2 separate 1 hour consultations with each doctor. Dr. Dreszer answered every question and made me feel so much at ease and told me I was a candidate for the DIEP FLAP reconstruction. He told me it would be a little more difficult in the beginning but I would be much happier with the results. It was a 7 hour procedure, he made sure I had a private room, my own nurses and I was home within 6 days. The recovery wasn't as bad as I thought. But imagine, you look in the mirror and you have breasts that came from your stomach! Dr. Dreszer is a genius! He is the most caring and compassionate human being I have ever met! I had some issues with my insurance and he never once said to me that he couldn't continue to treat me. I had a subsequent surgery 7 weeks ago for a hernia unrelated to this and he assured me he would take care of it and everything would be OK. I am so grateful to him and Dr. Fletcher and the entire staff for everything they have done. You just don't find doctors like this anymore. He truly loves what he does, he is an artist and the best surgeon ever! read more

Vanguard is the place to go for any cosmetic need! They are helpful and professional from the very beginning. I found this gem back in December of 2016 during an initial consult. Their office is immaculate! The design and atmosphere makes you feel at ease. They also have plenty of pamphlets available in the waiting area and I was able to read more about the procedures I was considering. The staff is super friendly and helpful! Also, they offer refreshments as you wait for your consult (which is not a long wait by the way). I met with Dr. Fletcher and he explained every single detail about my selected procedures. He was able to answer every single question I had and was very professional and knowledgeable. I scheduled my surgery with Dr. Fletcher and had my procedure done June of 2017. After the procedure Dr. Fletcher gave me his personal cell phone number just in case I had any questions or concerns about my recovery. I texted at 2am once and he responded promptly. A couple of days post OP, Vanguard also sent me a lovely floral arrangement to wish me a speedy recovery. Dr. Fletcher scheduled me for several post-op consults just to make sure everything is going well. One thing I can say is that these surgeons are all about results and not about the money. They have worked with me until I was completely satisfied with my procedures (and they haven't charged me a penny more for any revisions I want to do). I'm truly happy that I choose the Vanguard team to transform me! read more

Dr. Dreszer and his staff are the absolute best!! I had a tummy tuck in November and he went above and beyond for me! The first night I was sick from the anesthesia and started to run a fever, I was really scared but Dr. Dreszer and his wife Amber came to the hotel to check on me and assure me everything was fine! Throughout the healing process he has been readily available to address all of my questions and concerns. You are always in good hands with Dr. Dreszer, Dr. Fletcher and the staff at Vanguard Plastic Surgery! Everyone is so warm and welcoming, they make you feel right at home! I enjoy going into the office to see Kara and Elio. Kara took my pre-op photos (which I was rather embarrassed to take) but Kara made me feel comfortable and we were laughing by the end. She called me post-op to check on me, answer questions, and schedule my upcoming visits. Dr. Dreszer, Dr. Fletcher, Amber, Kara and Elio were all very involved in each of my post-op appointments. I have struggled with my weight and losing belly fat my entire life, no matter how hard I exercised I could not shake the belly fat. I am one month out of surgery and although I still have some swelling I am AMAZED by the results! I could not be happier or more excited! I finally have the flat tummy I have dreamed of! Dr. Dreszer has truly changed my life! read more

I agree 100% with all the previous reviews. Dr. Dreszer and his team are amazing. I'm so thankful I trusted the reviews ,here on yelp . I had my tummy tuck with a hernia repair done last year (2017) and in less than 1 year,the hernia was open again. I did not want to repeat this surgery ever again.. so, It took me longer to find a doctor to do my tummy tuck revision than the first time around. I knew I did not want to go to the previous doctor in Miami, so I've visited few doctors. Few in Miami, Boca Raton, and Brazil. Then, one night I was searching from doctor in my area and I found great reviews about Dr. Dreszer here. That's why I'm writing this very long review. I think he deserves it :) In my visit , I heard exactly what I wanted to hear from Dr. Dreszer. He's very knowledgeable, attentive, and all his promises was truly performed. Surgery went perfectly. His team and staff are amazing. He had answered all my calls , concerns on time. I've experienced this situation twice, and this second time with Dr. Dreszer was so much better. I felt in excellent hands. The pos operation care was perfect! All my pos surgery visits was ON TIME ( this is super important when you are in pain) never waited a minute to see the Dr. and his staff was very nice,and helpful. Glad a found my doctor for life. Thank you read more

Recently I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma on my nose from all the UV damage I incurred from many days on the beach, water skiing, surfing, and other outdoor activities while growing up in South Florida. I needed MOH's surgery to remove the skin cancer from my nose. Unfortunately, the amount of tissue removed was the size of a quarter. A colleague of mine referred me to George Dreszer, MD for repair of the open area. As a Doctor, I look for certain qualities in my own choice of Doctors. Those qualities are easily matched by Plastic Surgeon, George Dreszer, MD of Vanguard Aesthetic. Dr. Dreszer is thorough, he listened to my needs and desired outcomes, he was kind in his approach and he was empathetic and caring in his delivery. From his educational background, he is well qualified and knowledgeable of his specialty. Moreover, he educated me from the time I was seen, and thereafter in the follow-ups. His new office is tranquil with beautiful décor and easy sounds. The staff was upbeat, pleasant to work with and friendly. Overall, Dr. Dreszer is a professional and I would recommend my patients and my family to see him for plastic surgery and/or repairs after MOH's surgery. read more

Dr. Dreszer and his staff have been exceptional in the care of our 8 year old son! After a highly unexpected stressful and traumatic injury to my son's ear we were introduced to Dr. Dreszer. We were in a state of high stress, anxiety and concern related to the incident, but Dr. Dreszer reassured us that our son's first surgery ever would be handled with great care. Over a month later I can say that he was absolutely right! Dr. Dreszer's skills and caring nature inside and out of the operating room have allowed my son to heal nicely both physically and emotionally. He made sure we followed up for several visits after the surgery to ensure no complications arose. His office is beautiful, peaceful and clean. The doctor was always punctual. I never had any issues in communicating with the office. Questions were always answered to my satisfaction in an easy to understand way. The office staff are very kind and always respectful and helpful. We will definitely return to Dr. Dreszer in the future as needed and recommend him without a doubt. Thank you Vanguard Aesthetics and Fr. Dreszer! read more

I searched for a good year for a surgeon because I wanted to have my breast fixed and I was looking for options for my tummy. I had diastasis recti (ab separation due to my pregnancies) and I had capsular contracture in my left breast (twice, by the way). I had my first augmentation done and developed capsular contracture a few short years later...found a fort lauderdale doctor who said they would fix it (he didn't, made me a bigger size and my contracture developed even quicker than the first time). Met with Dr.Dreszer a few times -- I opted for a tummy tuck (best decision ever!) and another breast surgery. He explained to me that I would need a removal, replacement of the implant, a lift (because I wanted to be wayyyyy smaller)...I can't even explain how happy I am with the results. He took such good care of me, making sure that I understood everything and was comfortable with my decisions. Gave me his personal cell so that I can call or text if I had any questions and I never waited more than 5 minutes for an answer. My only regret is not finding him sooner! read more

I've got to say that I am so impressed with Dr. Dreszer and his staff, he took the very best care of me. I am an elderly woman and was very scared to have major breast reduction at my age 73. (For medical reasons)... but Dr. Dreszer walked me through everything and answered all of my questions with so much patience that my fears almost disappeared. Dr. Dreszer made The whole experience extremely comfortable. I am so happy that I had this procedure done and truly do not think I would have had it done with any other doctor. I am on the path to better health because of doctor dresser and I also cosmetically look so much better. I am willing to share my before and after pictures with anyone just asked Dr. Dreszer. My name is Carol H. (review left on my nieces account Deniece Kaelin) read more

Dr. Dreszer, Dr. Fletcher and staff are nothing short of amazing. As you open the doors and step foot into their beautiful office you are greeted by extremely friendly staff. The office is impeccably decorated by Dr. Dreszer's beautiful wife and there is some wonderful incense being pumped through the vents, which makes you feel like you're in a spa. I had surgery (liposuction of saddle bags and flanks) with Dr. Dreszer and have been so impressed with everything. He took time with me during my initial consult and he made me feel very comfortable and confident in what was going to be done. Surgery was a breeze and my results are amazing for 3 weeks out and are only going to get better! 20/10 recommend checking their office out for any of your cosmetic needs!! read more
