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.

Revision
Dr. Dickie and her staff are knowledgeable, pleasant and courteous. Dr. Dickie performed a revision (scar by another doctor) 4 weeks ago and it looks fabulous! I highly recommend!

Either big or small services I recommend her
I have seen this doctor over the course of several months. I have had a lower neck lift and some line relaxer. I look 15 years younger, more importantly i feel so much better about myself. I cannot recommend this professional highly enough. I am please beyond belief with the results and with the path that was taken to get here. She is pleasant, professional, realistic and talented. I have seen 2 other surgeons and wasn't happy with either the consult or the results. Dr. SD was the best in all regards.

A very happy patient – Feb 12, 2025

Outstanding
I absolutely love Dr. Dickie and her NP Sarah. I feel extremely lucky that she was the recommended surgeon from my UHC plan. I had my reduction in March 2024 and couldn't be happier with my results. Everyone has only had positive things to say about how I look and how proportion my results are. I think finding a surgeon is overwhelming and difficult. This office prioritizes patient care and is with you every step of the way. My only regret is not doing this surgery sooner. I would recommend Dr. Dickie to anyone. She is kind, down to earth, honest, and patient.

neck lift
Dr. Dickie and her assistant Mia listened to my concerns and explained everything in detail. They made me feel comfortable and confident I was choosing the right Dr. for my procedure. I definitely made the right decision going with Dr. Dickie and her staff. I couldn't be any happier with my results. Anyone considering having any kind of procedure done I highly recommend Dr. Dickie.

An Awesome Plastic Surgery Practice
My experience with Dr. Dickie, getting plastic surgery to close a mohs surgery I got following discovery of a basal cell carcinoma on my face, could not have been more successful! I have vasovagal syncope, which means I pretty much faint at the THOUGHT of needles, and the care and concern that went in to the biopsy and the final closure were both sympathetic as well as skillful. To my amazement, the scar is unnoticeable, so now I'm undertaking a long-time desire to clear the freckles and brown spots on my face, and mid-treatment, I'm already thrilled with the outcome. I love this practice.

Dr. Dickie is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, comforting, and talented. She did a fantastic job explaining the procedure, the pre-op and post-op care, and answering questions. I am beyond thrilled with the results of my procedure. I truly would recommend Dr. Dickie to anyone contemplating a procedure. I trust her and her staff whole-heartedly.

A wonderful doctor and kind person
Working with Dr. Dickie and her staff was a wonderful experience. Dr. Dickie was very kind and patient during the consultation for my daughter's surgical procedure. Dr. Dickie explained procedures very explicitly using terms that was understood by my daughter (the patient) and myself. She answered every question we had. Dr. Dickie was easy to talk to when discussing pre-op, the actual procedure, and recovery. She told us exactly what to expect along the way. We are very pleased that we have chosen Dr. Dickie with such an important procedure.

Love Dr. Dickie!
I've been going to Dr. Dickie for my forehead lines for years. She's also done some small cosmetic procedures for me. Every visit is a pleasure - her staff are highly professional and her facilities and equipment are spectacular. I am blown away by the customer service in her office, especially during a time when so many services seem to have forgotten the customer's experience. I also appreciate that Dr. Dickie never pressures or 'oversells' me on products or procedures. I prefer a more natural look and am not big on cosmetics, and her guidance on skin-care products and opportunities for - let's say 'adjustments' - to my natural aging have always been spot-on and in line with my values and my preferences. I'm looking forward to ongoing consultation with her as I settle into middle age and consider my options for various tweaks to my rapidly aging skin!!

Kind, honest, careful
I've had two services in Dr. Dickie's office and loved the results. She has an eye for making people look like themselves--just a little better. She's honest and not an upseller but clearly loves her work and takes care with each consultation. And her new office is gorgeous.

Did not receive what I asked for
I was sitting in traffic on my way home from work today, and my minimizer bra was making me miserably uncomfortable. I still have to wear one so my button down shirts will fit, even though I had a breast reduction with Dr. Dickie. My insurance covered it. I told her, very clearly, several times, unequivocally, that I wanted to be a B. I said I wanted small breasts. Before surgery I was a large D to DD. After surgery, my breasts were smaller, but I was a C. A large, full C. I contacted her about it and the upshot was that I could go thru the trauma of another surgery and pay $4000 for it. I am really, really disappointed. It was pointed out to me that I signed an acknowledgement to the effect of “a desired result was not guaranteed.” Be that as it may, isn’t it reasonable to expect the size will be basically what I asked for? I was never told it couldn’t be done. If you are looking for a surgeon who will give you the cup size breast you ask for, I would not recommend Dr. Dickie.

I'm about to have my procedure with Dr. Dickie. My consultation was amazing, she is very relaxing to be around and she listened and understood my issues. She explained things very clearly, and making a very self conscious discussion very comfortable. I can't wait to see the results and I am truly grateful and this will change my life. Brooks is just amazing as well, his detail to the information is beyond, and he is very responsive when you have a question, even if it's something so random.

Dr. Dickie performed a breast reduction on me and I couldn’t be happier. From the initial consultation throughout the post-op follow ups she’s been very professional and easy to talk to. Great bedside manners. Her surgery coordinator Brooks also very professional. They both made this experience way less stressful for me.
