In patients' words
"Worst experience ever in healthcare. Fraud and lies. Had to have 4 'consultation' appointments for 1 surgery. They billed insurance and us for every 'consultation' Even though they were by the same Dr for the same surgery."
— LocalityBiz user review"Dr. Lekkas and Dr. Hamling are what I now refer to as, 'the dream team.' I can't imagine more experienced, talented and compassionate doctors (and staff) to work with during such a challenging time. Shari was THE BEST ever..."
— Plasticsurgerynearyou.com user review"I would NOT recommend Dr. Robbins. I had a mini tummy tuck in Nov. of 2020 and was promised a low, hidden scar. I was cut from hip bone to hip bone and within 2 weeks my incision began to separate."
