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.

Excellent surgeon
Went to Dr Arnold to have ruptured implants removed he explained everything was very kind and caring After seeing many pictures of breast on the Internet after surgery I know I picked the right surgeon he learned his craft Well he did a Great job can hardly see any Stitches and it’s only been three weeks. When I had a question and called his office I didn’t even leave a message It was after hours he returned the call in half an hour Now I found that amazing!!!

I was first meet by the sweetest Nurse of Doctor Arnold. She had a beautiful smile and attitude. Then Doctor Arnold came in and explained everything he was going to do and then asked if I had any questions. He is so caring and kind and his Nurse Selena is very Special. I would highly recommend his office to my family and friends. Much Love and Prayers Deborah Hayes ??????

Both pre and post-op instructions were lacking, causing undue stress. End result is not symmetrical and disappointing. Cannot recommend this Dr.

There is only one word to describe Dr. Arnold "phenomenal!" He and his assistant Selina are so personable. They make you feel like you are family. Dr. Arnold took the time to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease before my surgery. I give Plastic Surgery of Asheville a 10. So blessed thank you Dr. Arnold!

I am a returning patient. I had to have my breast reconstruction redone in 2018. Dr Arnold performed that surgery and I was pleased with the results. This year, I had a basal cell carcinoma on the tip of my nose; so of course, I needed a surgeon that I could trust. The MOHS surgeon removed the cancer and I immediately went to the Asheville Surgery Center for Dr Arnold to complete the plastic surgery. I am 4 weeks out and the incision is almost invisible. Once again, I was very pleased with my experience with Dr Arnold and Selena.

This doctor put the wrong size breast implant in me. He made lousy excuses to defend himself. He also had inappropriate bedside matter by not respecting me, my decisions, and was very moody. I would strongly not recommend him for breast reconstruction. His assistant, receptionist, the only other person in the office; Selena was the most positive thing about my experience.

I was very impressed with the way Dr Arnold listened to me and he was the only doctor I interviewed that was concerned about the evenness of the breasts. The surgery took less time then he estimated even with a small problem from a previous implant. Phone calls are returned very promptly and his assistant is very caring.

i am almost 3 years post gastric sleeve...after losing 270 lbs i was in desperate need for skin removal. Dr Arnold saw me and recommended a panniculectomy. Surgery went smooth and he removed 13 lbs. He displayed a wonderful bedside manner as well as informative post-op care. Celina and Dr Arnold have been so helpful in my recovery. I recommend him to anyone seeking to regain their life!!
