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.

Dr. Calobrace did a great job on my chest. I was honestly afraid that my chest was too damaged from 20 years of binding to ever look normal even after surgery. Dr. Calobrace and his team went above and beyond to ensure the best possible results. Although my recovery has been difficult, as my body is hyper-reactive, he and his team has been there for any recovery questions or concerns. I felt like they were genuinely as invested in my outcome as I was.

Excellent Plastic Surgeon
After five pregnancies and a major weightloss I had so much extra skin and very little volumein my breast so had a consult for abdominalplasty and breast augmentation. I was so very self conscious and embarrassed about my body but the staff and Dr. Calobrace were so understanding and supportive. They made me feel so at ease and excited for my surgery. Everything went perfectly and I love my results! My stomach is so flat and my breast are what I have always wanted. Thank you Dr. Calobrace for making me feel so much more confident about myself and making me look like I was never fat or pregnant!

What Can I Say...?
...Other than Dr Calobrace is brilliant. "The proof is in the pudding." as they say. And, well my results are beyond anything I could've imagined or expected (results may vary of course). He is a professional, and an expert medical sculptor. Very precise---a perfectionist with an empathetic view and a willingness to exceed expectations within reason (both yours and his). I feel I have regained a bit of myself since having my beautiful kiddos! I could probably write a dissertation on the wonderful staff, professionalism and expertise of all involved. So, let me just say. If you are looking for: 1. A medical expertise in plastic surgery 2. A person who cares first and foremost about your wellbeing 3. A professional 4. A person who values his work and his results Dr Calobrace is the one you want.

After a bad experience with a different provider, Dr. Colebrace is a breath of fresh air. He will be very honest with you. I didn't feel rushed at all. Remember that if you go on a surgery day he may run late. His work is great and it takes time so may be a little late. I travel to the spa and Dr. C for treatments. Now I wouldn't think of going to anyone else!

I am reading a few negative reviews for Dr Colobrace and I am shocked. He has done everything that was ever done correctly to me. He is so caring, professional and talented. I live now 10 hours away and I am considering making my drive back to his office instead of trying a new dr in my area. He also did a facelift for me. It was excellent ! I have sent people to him and would go to him before anyone else. Please use caution when reading negative reviews , because surgery can help , but let's face it " he or no other plastic surgeon is a miracle worker", but talented and professional he is !

Dr. Calobrace almost ruined my life by botching my facial surgery. After care was lacking and consisted mainly of trying to placate me. The thing is he isn’t good or can’t do facial surgery. All of my concerns and discomfort that lasted years were disregarded as being a problem with my perception. His ego will never allow him to admit failure. I finally found another surgeon who was able to help me. The entire ordeal almost ended my marriage. He discussed me with others without my permission to cover his incompetence. I think he is very egotistical and concerns and doubts are not noted. I have cried a thousand tears over what he did to me. I wish there was something that could be done about it. I realized for the sake of my emotional health and marriage I would move forward with my life and hope that he is exposed. The staff is poor to good depending on the individual. The Doctor is over booked always in a hurry. After they get your money it’s over so consider your choice of Doctor.
