Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I fully recommend Dr. Jeffries lll to anyone needing surgery as I did. He was very professional and made me feel at ease during my procedure.

Dr Jeffries had me in and out of surgery in less than 30 minutes! I couldn’t get an appointment at any dermatologist for months and soderstrom got me into surgery in 4 business days to remove a cyst!

Before my consultation, I googled every possibility of what could happen during my breast implant removal. Do not do that. It was a big mistake. I was nervous and scared as to what I needed done. When I went to see Dr. Jeffries, I left feeling confident and relaxed about the procedure. A great bedside manner made me feel comfortable and happy with my results. He also follows up with you after surgery to be sure there are no issues, which I found to be very comforting and going above and beyond.

Dr Jeffries and his staff are kind, compassionate and timely. He and his staff spent all the time with me that I needed, before, during and after my procedure providing an open line of communication available anytime of the day. Dr Jeffries is thorough and took the time to answer all of my questions, honestly. I felt well taken care of by all of the staff members. I am very pleased with my procedure and highly recommend Dr Jeffries ~ thank you

I am turning 60 this year and had been thinking about getting rid of my saggy old turkey neck for a year or two. I saw Dr. Jeffries and had sidelaze done a week ago today. I could not be happier with the results. Forty eight hours after the procedure, when I was allowed to remove the head garment to shower, I cried with joy after seeing the results! Dr. Jeffries is a master at knowing just what to do to solve a problem. I cannot find words to express what he has done for my self-esteem.

Dr. Jeffries is simply the best. I would not trust any else to do my surgeries. He is conservative, caring, pays attention to detail, available at all times, and a perfectionist! We are very fortunate to have Dr. Jeffries in this area. When you’re trying to improve your imperfections he is the doctor for the job!
