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 am so happy with my experience with Dr. Fryer- he is very thorough and takes his time to make you feel comfortable and confident with every decision. I am a week out of surgery and absolutely love the results of my breast Aug and lift. Dr. Fryer knew exactly what sizes to use to bring my breasts back into symmetry. I am so in love and wish I did it sooner. He’s the best!!

Amazing experience! Dr. Fryer is amazing

He takes time with each patient to make sure they feel comfortable. The results are amazing and he is very knowledgeable and has lots of experience! The staff is very kind. I am thankful I could trust his professional opinion. This is the best plastic surgeon in Utah.

Breast implant extraction.
Dr. Fryer is an absolute miracle worker! My procedure was breast implant extraction and I couldn't be happier. He removed my implants in a procedure room rather than having the expense of using a surgical center or an anesthesiologist. Start to finish it only took 45 minutes. There is absolutely no recovery time other than the incision, which is minimal. I literally got up from the table, got dressed, and drove home. I am eternally grateful for his expertise and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fryer to anyone considering this procedure. If you're looking for a surgeon who is talented, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their patients, Dr Fryer is the best one there is. Dr. Fryer’s skill was truly exceptional, and I highly recommend. Teri Andrus63 years old.

I went to Dr. Fryer for a breast reduction. Two of my daughters had breast augmentations done by him and they were very happy with the results. Dr. Fryer very patiently answered all my questions and was very thorough in explaining the procedure. I am so happy with the results and I couldn't recommend him more! His office staff and nurses are all awesome too. The best decision I've ever made!

I'm so grateful to Dr Fryer and staff for the help and support that they gave me. I lost a lot of weight and looked like a melted Barbie doll. While I was grateful for the weight loss I didn't feel comfortable in my skin. When I met with Dr Fryer he went through everything that I wanted done and answered all of my questions. I trusted him immediately. I am so pleased with the results. He did an amazing job and I'm so grateful I made the investment to get everything done. Thank you!

Knowledgable and comprehensive Doc-NO PAIN SURGERY
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Fryer after referral from a friend who had a great experience. I was incredibly impressed by his very comprehensive consultation-with in-depth teaching on his part and his always making time for my many questions. The surgery itself went well with great results and incredible pain management regimen he has! I literally didn't even have to use narcotics due to the other medications he prescribed to manage pain! Thank you Dr. Fryer!!

The Best!
10/10 experience with Dr. Fryer and the staff at Premier Plastic Surgery. He and his entire team are genuine, knowledgeable, and made for a flawless process. I found Dr. Fryer through his free 87 page Breast Aug Planner PDF file (abetterbreast.com). It is a great resource and goes over pretty much everything you need to know. So many of my questions were answered and initial trust built just from that document. During the consult, I felt very confident with him, his sizing and surgery methods, understanding my wants, etc, everything. Dr. Fryer is competent, trustworthy, and personable. I didn't have an ounce of doubt going into the surgery - the PDF book + consult took any hesitation I had away. I am just over a week post-op, feeling great, and already LOVING my results. Surgery day was easy, pain is minimal, and recovery has been even better than I expected. I can't thank Dr. Fryer and the office/surgery staff enough!

ABSOLUTELY
The answer is absolutely YES! Go see him don’t wait another day! Dr Fryer really listens, understands, and cares not only about your finally result but what your results are years from now. I feel like my old doctor just didn’t care about what would happen to my chest, I was so afraid and sad that my breast would always be to large and messed up. I was terrified to have “Frankenstein looking” scars and bags hanging and long recovery time. This is not the case with Dr. Fryer! No bags, my scars were still very small, no bruising, I felt like I recovered faster then before when I was in my 20s. My chest looks better than it EVER HAS! The answer is yes, absolutely yes!!!

Highly Recommend
Dr. Fryer came recommended by many of my friends and family. I was looking to remove very old breast implants - over 40 years old. I was contemplating weather to replace, have a lift, or leave out. Dr. Fryer listened to all my feelings about what to do and could tell I leaned to leaving them out and not replacing. He said it would be simple to come back in and replace if I did not like how leaving them out looked. I went forward and had the removal. It went beyond well. I am so happy with the result. I needed only acetaminophen for pain. Hardly, any pain at all. Don't hesitate to consult with him for all your needs. The practice is in a lovely building and the staff are all excellent and kind. In closing, something else I have appreciated is how on each of my appointments I never waited to be seen. They do not book the appointments so heavy that they fall behind.

My experience e
The work done by Dr. Fryer has been truly amazing, I am a 49 year old woman, with breast implants for 20 years that had been placed in front of the muscle, I went to my appointment with Dr. Fryer. Fryer not only talked to me about the possibilities of removing my encapsulated implants, but he showed me with technological tools the entire process we had to go through, he talked about the risks and the possibilities of success, all this in an atmosphere of cordiality and compassion. which made me trust him immediately. When the day of the Surgery arrived, Dr. Fryer and all of his staff did their job in an amazing way, at no time did I feel uncomfortable, dissatisfied or in danger. Finally, just 3 weeks after my surgery my wounds are healing very well and the results are magnificent, my breasts are in better shape than those of my youth, I am so happy and grateful for Dr. Fryer's work and I totally recommend him.

Breast re-augmentation
Dr. Fryer is an incredible surgeon. He made me feel comfortable in the first consultation, on the surgery day, and after my 3 month follow up. He never seemed to be in a hurry, he has incredible manners, and was very patient answering my long list of questions preop/postop. His staff are very friendly! I had a re-augmentation after 14 years and my breast look better than the first time. I am hoping that the nipple sensitivity goes away, but other than that I love my breast and grateful I chose Dr. Fryer.

Dr. Fryer was beyond amazing! He was so personable, detail oriented, and thorough, giving me and my husband all the information we needed. He answered all our questions, explaining the why and every detail and spent as much time we us as we needed and wanted. I felt extremely comfortable with him. He also talked me out or an unneeded procedure instead of just doing it to get the extra money. He walked us through the whole procedure from start to finish. Helping me make the best decision for my body. He was extremely safety conscious and my recovery pain was minimal compared to what it could have been. I am so happy with my results!!! He's more than the average plastic surgeon!!! His attention to detail, finesse, and knowledge makes him an amazing choice for plastic surgery! His amazing staff needs to be recognized also! From the first step inside their office they made my husband and I feel welcomed and made the whole process easy! Caitlin was an amazing nurse and made me feel like a

Dr Fryer and his staff provided such a professional and comfortable experience for my tummy tuck. I’ve spent a lot of time in doctors offices with an autoimmune disease and Premier Plastic Surgery was the nicest experience I’ve ever had.

Amazing Physician and Staff
My experience getting a breast aug with Dr. Fryer was incredible. Setting up my initial consultation I was SO nervous. The staff there are absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and comforting. I initially booked a consult with Dr. Fryer for 2 reasons: 1. He has a very thorough online breast augmentation planner from his website. In all my hours of research, I failed to find a surgeon that offered something like this and was as thorough and detailed as Dr. Fryer. This planner ultimately led me to my decision because it offered such great information. Reason 2: A friend of mine had a breast aug + lift with Dr. Fryer and spoke very highly of him and hers look fantastic. I was looking into getting a breast aug after a 70 pound weight loss and wanted to avoid doing a lift at this time. I wasn’t sure if that would be a possibility and wanted an expert opinion. Dr. Fryer spent 2 hours with me during the consult and explained his vision for what would look best with the extra skin we were working

So happy I went with Dr. Fryer
I had my breast implants for a long time, and they were far from perfect. (A different doctor performed my original breast augmentation surgery) I needed a breast lift along with replacing my 15 year old implants. Dr. Fryer gave me beautiful breasts!! I got exactly what I have been wanting for years; replaced implants and a breast that is lifted with nipples in the “right place”. I am so happy I chose Dr. Fryer as my surgeon.

Dr. Fryer is amazing! My breasts look fantastic. So realistic! Seriously... people don't believe they are implants. The recovery was so easy and painless.
