“Love Dr. Hancock”

by D.S.

Love Dr. Hancock - she really listens to understand your goals, takes time to explain everything, is clear about what/when to expect, and is thorough with followup to make sure everything is going well. Very knowledgeable about differences in ethnic anatomy/aging, and of course a great surgeon.

“Thank you so much for your excellent work.”

by A.B.

Dr Christopher Bates, Thank you so much for your excellent work. I am grateful for the surgery you did to fix up the deep scars I had due to my injury during the Vietnam war back in the early 70’s. I feel so much better and happier about the outcome of the surgery.

Best experience. Dr. Rumsey was very kind and made me feel very comfortable throughout my whole experience; from my consultation to the surgery.

“The whole operation is phenomenal”

by D.T.

I think Dr. Rumsey, all the aestheticians, and nurses and front desk staff are fantastic, professional, sweet courteous, kind…and that includes the girls upstairs at the desk, too.

by S.P.

There is no better combination in Northeast Florida of caring, expertise, and respect than PVPS. From the front desk to my favorite surgeon, Dr. Sternberg, I have been treated kindly and like a family member by everyone. That, coupled with my amazing results after Dr. Sternberg works his magic in medicine and artistry, have made me loyal for life. Please be patient with us in this quiet corner of Florida as we remember to say thank you, and don’t change a thing. I cannot imagine looking more young and healthy by all of you.

“Beyond amazing results”

by M.G.

Sharon is the absolute BEST (nurse practitioner). Gentle, precise, world-class. I am prone to bruising easily, yet despite the multiple injections required in this filler procedure, I am bruise-free and have NO lumps or any post-procedure issues. Beyond amazing results. She’s a magician, and her clients are the beneficiaries of her magic.

M.G.

“Professional, kind, quality doctor and team”

by S.D.

Very scary to try to find an ethical AND knowledgeable surgeon when one is new to Palm Coast. Not only did I find a highly qualified surgeon, I found a TEAM of kind-hearted caregivers. Beautiful people on the outside and inside! Professional, kind, quality doctor and team. Dr. Sternberg looked at the injury and damages to my body in a “big picture” approach, knowing that sometimes in order to get the best outcome for oneself, one must look at the body as a whole. He doesn’t overlook any details to make sure you get your best results. I have every confidence that the surgery plan he’s laid out for me will get me back to life and being a more active mom for my boys.

S.D.

“Thank you for making my dream come true”

by C.H.

I’m so in love with my results. The staff made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I knew Dr. Bates would do a great job on me, and is like a dream come true. His work speaks for itself and I’m so happy and would recommend him to everyone. I would like to thank Dr. Bates and his staff again for making my dream come true.

C.H.

“Dr. Burk is extraordinarily talented”

by Anonymous

Dr. Burk is extraordinarily talented in performing both primary and revision procedures. He helped me to achieve exceptional outcome with my facial and neck modifications, along with the improvement of my hands. I would like to also recognize the staff at PVPS. They are very professional, very well-organized, and excellent with privacy.
