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.

Post Surgery
Dr S is very enthusiastic pre-surgery. He claims he’ll give you great follow-up, stated he will give his cell phone and stay connected after surgery, NOPE. Took his office days to respond after surgery, no one checks to see how you are doing after surgery. One eye took 2 weeks to heal, other eye took 6 weeks and still has lumpy redness. The stitches on one eye looked completely different than eye.

I am so incredibly happy with my results! Dr. Slavin really took the time with me in our initial consultation to explain the surgery and what I could expect. He was so kind and caring throughout the whole process. I interviewed a bunch of doctors before choosing Dr. Slavin and I know I made the right choice. He truly is not just a doctor, he is an artist and a very skilled surgeon!

Had a great experience with Dr. Slavin. Waiting room times could be a little long but well worth it. I had a breast reduction and the results are amazing. Scaring is very minimal. Healing was easy- and he addressed any of my concerns immediately. He never seemed rushed in my consultation or in my follow up appointments. He took his time and explained the procedure. So happy with my results!

Triple books consults. 3 hour wait. No awareness of latest surgical techniques. Zero patient reliability.
