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.

The best plastic surgeon
I am leaving this review only 16 days after my rhinoplasty, and I cannot convey how happy I am with my new nose. It is still swollen but already beautiful, and I cannot say enough good things about how much I appreciate Dr, Holcomb and his staff. He is a true artist, professional, very well-certified, extremely nice and respectful and worthy of all of these great reviews. I did my homework before choosing him. He may charge more than other plastic surgeons, but he is worth every penny. If you are going to get work done, choose the best, and the best is Dr. Holcomb! This is only the first of more procedures yet to come with him as I get older! Every time I look in the mirror, I just feel so much appreciation for him and believe that anyone who chooses him will have the same experience. You will be so glad you did!

Great Result
Dr. Holcomb did my facelift and neck contouring. I’m so very happy with my results. I didn’t want to look done and I honestly don’t. Very natural and subtle which is just what I wanted and after seeing Dr. Holcomb’s before and after photos I was very confident in his understanding.

I'm more confident
Altering your body in any way is a serious decision to make. My breasts size was 42H and they were causing me a lot of physical problems. Everything from my posture, to sleeping, the way that I could play with my kids, and the way that my clothes fit were all affected. It was definitely the right decision for me and I feel like a new woman.

From beginning to end, the entire experience was fantastic. Dr. Holcomb is not only competent, but also imaginative and caring. I told him what I wanted to look like when I woke up, and he made it happen! Even only one day after my treatments, I awoke feeling considerably more youthful, but still maintaining a natural appearance. Thank you so much, Dr. Holcomb!

Of course I have heard over and over that what matters is what’s on the inside. That said we are often judged by what is seen on the outside whether we like it or not. The years had caught up to my face and what I saw in the mirror was not equal to what I felt like inside. Dr. Holcomb gave me natural looking results that matched the outside with the inside in a way that is very much to my liking (and my husband’s too!)

When I opted for a brow lift, I was absolutely not going for asymmetry. What I was left with was an almost comical uneven look. Well it might have been comical if it was on somebody else. I won’t go into the harrowing experience I had with the actual doctor who did it but I will sing the praises of Dr. J. David Holcomb from the rooftops for his brilliant revision surgery.

Following my incredibly vicious and heart rendering divorce, I knew I needed to get back into the groove. I went to Holcomb Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa and met with Dr Kreithen himself. He had suggested a few options and I went with breast augmentation. I really enjoy the attention I get now.

I had a lot of work I wanted done when I walked into the office. They sat me down and went over it all. Then I had the pleasure of speaking with both doctors. We put together a plan and we ware working through that plan. They have been great.

Dr. Holcomb performed a Mist Ultrasound Therapy to heal a facial wound I received in a fall. This painless therapy delivered low-frequency ultrasound energy to my skin several times a week until the wound was barely visible. It is amazing.

The new injections under my eyes and forehead took away my age signs! I still looks like myself just a little younger. This was performed by Dr. Holcomb. The last time I was there Dr. Kreithen came by and interested me in a breast augmentation so I made an appointment with him as well.

I was feeling tired and old. I attended a virtual seminar for Facial Rejuvenation presented by the Kreithen Plastic Surgery & MedSpa I was so impressed at the many non-invasive options there are to rejuvenate a women’s appearance. I was sold.

After breastfeeding four kids, you can imagine the toll it took on my breasts. My kids are all grown and living their lives now and I finally wanted to do something to make myself feel better. Dr. Kreithen and his team are the best and I've never felt better after having the breast lift with implants!

Life-changing is the only term I can use to describe my laser treatment here. The expertise with which Dr. Holcomb utilized Acculift to rejuvenate and refresh my face actually has changed my life. The compliments I receive frequently from others feel great but it is the compliment I almost want to say out loud every time I look in the mirror that means the most to me.
