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 Experience
Dr. Rudderman is top notch. He has an excellent bedside manner. He made me feel comfortable from the start. He’s so down to Earth and doesn’t try to upsell you on anything. His work is absolutely the best. On top of that, he has an amazing staff! They are so kind and warming. They went out of their way to help. Now, I understand why Dr. Rudderman has five star ratings. I would give more if that were an option!! Thank you all so much Dr. Rudderman and staff!

Dr. Rudderman is an excellent doctor!
Dr. Rudderman is patient and compassionate AND extremely knowledgeable and serious about the care he gives. I saw other plastic surgeons and had a more “cosmetic” personality experience. With Dr. Rudderman, I saw he is a doctor first, who is putting my health in first place and that gave me the confidence to do my explant procedure with him. Forever grateful!

The one you want for Breast Explant
I went to Dr. Rudderman for breast implant removal. He was one of two highly recommended surgeons in Atlanta. I had consults with both. What set Dr. R apart was that he 100% understood my goals, listened to my concerns, & I felt like he was supportive of not only what I wanted but why. Not once did he pressure or even suggest additional surgery other than what he knew I wanted. The procedure went very well, whole process was as easy as it could have been, & I am very happy with the results, especially how smooth the healing has gone. If you want someone who genuinely cares about you as a person & about your whole overall health, Rudderman is your guy. I will also mention, his office staff is phenomenal! Always prompt, helpful, & non-intimidating. I wouldn’t do anything different—other than never getting implants put in (by a different dr) many years ago!

Dr. Rudderman did an exceptionally job on my explant surgery. He is a very competent and compassionate surgeon. My healing process was surprisingly quick. I only needed to take acetaminophen for a couple of day post surgery. In the days following my surgery I had a few questions and I was able to speak with Dr. Rudderman directly. His staff was wam and welcoming throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to return to his practice in the future.

I am very pleased with Dr. Rudderman and his staff. They were very responsive to my concerns and questions. He was very clear about the results I should expect. I had lost a significant amount of weight and needed a tummy tuck to remove all the excess skin. Unfortunately due to my age (I’m 72) and the lack of elasticity of my skin there were limits on what could be accomplished. He informed me prior to surgery what these limitations were and made sure I understood, while providing me with the option to change my mind if I wouldn’t be satisfied. I am still swollen, but I am glad I went ahead with the surgery. There is a tremendous difference, even though It would have been nice to have the stomach of a 25 year old. I am very satisfied with the results and am glad I did it, although I should have started the process years earlier. The recovery was much easier than I expected. I had no complications and recovered quickly thanks to Dr. Rudderman and his staff.

I am a returning patient of Dr. Rudderman that had a breast reduction over 20 years ago. I must say that I am still satisfied which is why I reached out to him for consideration of having a tummy tuck done. First of all, Dr. Rudderman has more years of experience in plastic surgery than most doctors in the Atlanta area. During my consultation for the tummy tuck, I was extremely satisfied with the scheduling timeframe, wait time, professionalism of staff, consultation & availability of a surgery date. The price was a little more than I expected, but it was only due to the medical facility fees, the doctors procedure fees were exactly where I wanted to be in cost. Dr. Rudderman gave me his honest opinion about the procedure during my consultation. It wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but it was his realistic expectations for me & the procedure I was considering & I totally respect his feedback. My advise to others are, do your physician reach, you want the best not the cheapest.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rudderman! I came to him hoping to fix my tubular breasts. I had seen several other surgeons beforehand, who all said implants would be necessary in order to correct my appearance. I didn't really want that for a number of reasons. Then one day while researching online, I found Dr. Rudderman. And thank God I did! It changed everything. His bedside manner was phenomenal. He had my best interest in mind, & guided me with knowledge & integrity toward a breast lift procedure. I was THRILLED & booked the same day as my consultation. I am a few wks post op now, and could not be happier with my results. Dr. Rudderman has such masterful ability and such a keen aesthetic eye that he made me look a thousand times better than I ever dared hope. He has been such a gem through the recovery process as well... I've felt so at peace every step of the way knowing he's my surgeon. I feel like I have a new life now. Dr. Rudderman is the best of the best.

I have had to undergo more surgery with another plastic surgeon for an additional $18K to fix my breast augmentation and diastasis repair that were originally done incorrectly by Dr Rudderman.

Cumming, GA – Sep 01, 2017

Dr Rudderman put in an implant after my second mastectomy. Unfortunately, it didn't take. I am trying to lose weight and then will return to him for a repair. He also consulted after my TRAM flap was infected and it took 11 months to heal. I have a tremendous amount of scar tissue from the outside of my right breast to the axilla. Dr Rudderman has been very positive about the reconstruction process, even though it has been ten years in the planning stages. I finally decided t do it!!

Incredibly disappointed with his bed side manner. Having a bad morning and being 1 1/2 hrs late and then giving 1.5 minutes to a patient who is in the middle of reconstruction mastectomy is NOT okay. Telling patient that they have unrealistic ideas of results because they ask questions about the surgery is NOT okay. Then canceling surgery and telling patient to get a second opinion is NOT okay. My four months after first surgery were amazing positive but it ended badly.
