Are you trying to find the right plastic surgeon but find the challenge a  bit too daunting? With so many options in the Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra, Florida area, how do you know that you’ve chosen the right surgeon to transform your look?

Here are a few helpful tips to ensure you are making the right choice when it comes to your body:


Review Testimonials Provided by the Surgeons

The best way to find out if your surgeon is top-notch is to speak with those who have used the medical professional before you. Review websites, read testimonials and visit their website to gain insight on the surgery center and what their past patients have really enjoyed about the service. In doing so, you’ll be able to gain the knowledge you need to make a confident decision.


Request to See a Before and After Gallery 

A reputable surgeon will always have a before and after gallery readily available for you to review. Browse the gallery paying particular attention to the services you’d like to request from your plastic surgeon. Also, use this gallery as a conversational piece in your consultation with your doctor. Be sure to ask specific questions if you find something you’d like to learn more about in the gallery or would like more information about a particular case. If your plastic surgeon is open and honest with you about prior surgeries, then you know he or she will treat your surgery with the utmost professionalism as well.


Visit the Surgery Center

It’s important that you feel comfortable in your surroundings when you’re receiving any type of surgery or medical care. For this reason, it’s essential to choose a plastic surgeon who has an open-door policy when it comes to the surgical and recovery centers. Take a tour of the facility and voice any special requests you have for the day of the surgery. A good surgeon will be happy to facilitate all requests ensuring you’re as comfortable as possible.

I had my breast done in January with Dr. Hickman and she was amazing! She took her time with any questions during the consult, making sure I was completely informed and comfortable. Her work is amazing, I love the outcome.

I cannot say enough things about Dr. Bates and his Nurse!!! From my first visit to surgery and PostOp, the care I received has been top notch. When I had a minor complication Dr Bates was quick to give me a call and answer any questions I had. His bedside manner is what really sets him apart. If you’re thinking about using Dr. Bates just do it!!!! I will use him again for future operations.

Sharon Prince is the best at injectables, lasers, etc. Always enjoy my time with her at the Nocatee location as she always puts me at ease though I'm not particularly fond of needles. Her applications are almost painless! I encourage you to schedule your appointment with her today. You won't be disappointed.
