Dr. Brian Showalter, MD

Dr. Showalter is a miracle worker! I can’t sing his praises highly enough. He’s personable, respectful, informative, and does a wonderful job of answering questions and making you feel as comfortable as possible.I had a breast reduction and within days noticed that my back pain and migraines had eased significantly. I’m only 5 weeks post op, but already I’ve noticed how much this surgery has improved my quality of life.I also need to make sure to recognize Emma and Nicole and everything that they did throughout this process as well!I couldn’t be happier that I had this team for this journey! Thank you so much Dr Showalter!

I recently underwent corrective surgery with Dr. Showalter and could not be more pleased with the results. He carefully explained what to expect post surgery, and did exactly what he said he would during my pre-op visits. If you go into the process with realistic expectations and follow the pre and post operation instructions you should have a great outcome. Last but not least, the office staff is fantastic, very courteous and professional, and did a lot to relieve my pre-operation jitters.

The cosmetic procedure Dr Showalter performed on me (bbl with trunk lift) was nothing short of excellent! It was a rather involved procedure but, the outcome was superb and I couldn’t be happier, I’d do it all over again. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and with a wonderful bedside manner. The entire process from consult to post surgery follow ups went very well for me. Thank you!

I was referred to Dr. Showalter by a general surgeon, who recommended him highly for possible resolution to my issues. I proceeded with a major procedure by Dr. Showalter, because I had a high level of confidence in him, his staff, and the hospital (did a lot of checking). The doctor, staff were wonderful pre- and post-operatively. I felt I was in excellent hands and recommend this practice highly.

Dr. Showalter was great at explaining everything and did a beautiful job with my breast reconstruction surgery.

Before surgery, he told me that we would go through with the second part of the procedure only if he didn't find a particular problem. When I read the consent form, the contingency plan was not in the contract. I asked about it and he said that he would stick to what we talked about even if it wasn't specifically stated. Unfortunately, I trusted him, and he did the procedure even though the problem was found making it more risk. As a result, I've had chronic pain and deeply regretted this.

Wow...what a ride the last 15 1/2 months! Stage III breast cancer, opted for bilateral mastectomy, chemo, radiation then reconstruction. I selected a DIEP flap procedure and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. I have cleavage again! Not only that...but they are absolutely perfect in my eyes! I am absolutely amazed at the skill involved and feel truly blessed that I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Showalter’s expertise in my end result! Thank you for making me feel complete again!

I had a chunk of tissue removed beside my ear which left a nasty hole after MOH surgery to remove a Basal Cell Carcinoma. Dr. Showalter did an outstanding job making it disappear. Great staff and comfortable setting. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Showalter was recommended by my breast cancer doctor, my oncologist and my radiologist. I am so glad I took their suggestions! Dr. Showalter performed my breast reconstruction and the results are fabulous. He is very professional with a kindness that is very reassuring. All the doctors I have dealt with in the Sentara Martha Jefferson Community have been outstanding! My enormous thanks to Dr. Showalter for his expertise in Breast Reconstruction Surgery.

Needless to say I was not very happy and told Dr. Showalter so. Dr, Showalter, kindly suggested an adjustment in the fee and would return a $1000, I agreed. After two phone calls to the office and his not very responsive office manger Lisa, I did get a check two weeks later. I went back and had the laser treatment performed to no avail. I have been back to see Dr. Showalter twice and told him I was unhappy and could not see any improvement or indeed difference! in short it had not worked.
