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.

Disappointing Experience
I had high hopes for this doctor but was tremendously let down by my botched procedure. Even after making the office aware of my disappointment, absolutely NOTHING was done. Not even so much as a follow up call, after I paid over 10,000$ to them.

Dr. Lincenberg and his staff are phenomenal, exceeding all my expectations. He performed multiple procedures to remove the excess skin I had after a major weight loss. While I had hoped for improvements, he made transformative changes. My body has never looked as good as it does now. Dr. Lincenberg has the vision of a sculptor. Dr. Lincenberg quickly put me at ease with his knowledge and professionalism. He listened to my concerns, made recommendations, and made sure I had all the information I needed. His experience really shows! His staff took great care of me too, coordinating the procedures and all the paperwork. Vera, Kendra, and Julie were always friendly and helpful. Dr. Lincenberg and his staff patiently answered each of my questions - even when I came in with pages of them. I knew of Dr. Lincenberg’s reputation before I met him, but I had not anticipated his kindness and gentleness. Getting to know him and his staff was a joy. I hated to say good-bye.

I loved every part of my experience with Dr.Lincenberg. I never felt rushed during my appointments and all of his staff were helpful and friendly. He made me feel very calm whenever i got worried about my upcoming surgery. I had full trust in him as he is very experienced and knowledgable. I got gender neutral top surgery. At first I could only find surgeons that listed FTM surgeries and then I came across Dr.Lincenberg's website and saw he talked about Female to Neutrois top surgery. I was so happy to finally find a doctor who I felt had an understanding of what I wanted. He uses a special technique so I didn't need to have any drains/or a compression vest. I healed quickly and with minimal pain. I am now a few months post-op and I couldn't be any happier! I feel like I am living a dream. My life has been changed for the better and I can't thank Dr.Lincenberg and staff enough!

Worst surgeon ever. I had a breast implant replacement, and he suggested that due to pain, I go with the implants cancer patients use. Well, a port under both arm pits were implanted, and the right one floated to my chest. So guess who had to pay the surgery center's cost to have it removed from my chest? ME. Would NEVER recommend him ever. Very unprofessional.

My wife got top surgery... We LOVE Dr. Lincenberg. His whole office staff are awesome - you feel like a part of the family and not just a number. Dr. Lincenberg never made us feel rushed with all of our questions and always took time to make sure we were ready for the next step. His staff are just as special - they make you feel like they really take their time to show you what you need to do before and after surgery.

I had top surgery with Dr. Lincenberg in April, 2018. His results were more than I could have expected!! He is kind and patient, as is his staff, Vera, Kendra and the ever funny Kerri!. I never had a question that he did not take the time to answer, which put my wife and I at ease about the surgery and recovery. I would recommend him to anyone considering top surgery, or any plastic surgery for that matter. They took care of everything! Basically, all I had to do was show up and have m

Wow! This man is a genius! I had gastric bypass surgery by Dr. Scott Steinberg (Dekalb Medical). After losing the equivalent of a small person off of my stature; I had some sagging skin around my tummy. Dr. Lincenberg performed a tummy tuck and made me look like a model! He was so attentive in making sure he executed a perfect job. Dr. Lincenberg has a warm rapport and a nice smile. His entire office staff including his office manager wife Julie are very down to earth and highly professional.

Doctor Lincenberg is extremely qualified and personable. Both my son and I were made to feel so comfortable and were well informed throughout the entire process. Questions were welcomed and concerns alleviated. I am truly thankful for just how well this has gone and would definitely recommend this practice to others! Everyone is so sincerely caring and friendly.

I just got a text message from a friend inquiring about "who did your boobs in Atlanta?" Well, that was 17 years ago and I am still very pleased with my work. Professional staff, great surgeon, awesome follow up...the whole experience was wonderful! I had a child 2 years after and breastfed without any problems :-) If you're looking, look no more, Dr. Lincenberg is the bomb!!

Dr. Lincenberg and his team provided excellent care to our transgender son! When it came time for our son's top surgery he pulled together an operating room team (anesthesiology and nurses) who were sensitive, affirming, and very honoring of the meaning this surgery had for our son and family. The follow-up care after surgery has also been wonderful. We are grateful that the trans community has such a competent and caring ally.

By far one of the nicest and most professional offices I have been to. Plus he is an outstanding surgeon and has a good bedside manner, which if you are anything like me, the bedside manner is really important. I've had two surgeries with him (both on my chest) and I am thrilled with the result!

I am celebrating my one year anniversary today from my breast lift that Dr Shel did for me last year. I can tell you that I am just as happy as I were last year. I told him my goal was to NEVER WEAR A BRA AGAIN as of today I have not worn one for a year and I could not be happier. Dr Shel listened to what I wanted and we came up with a good plan and everything went as planned. I highly recommend Dr Shel and his staff. His staff is just as awesome and I will go back when I need anything done.
