It's nerve racking to have to find a NEW plastic surgeon. I was nervous before my consult & not sure what I wanted to do. I left my consult feeling confident & positive in my decision I'm making! I appreciate how I was treated by the staff/nurses/doctor. Everyone is genuinely KIND. That goes a long way, in my book!

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.

After putting it off for way too long, I finally bit the bullet and went to Claudette to get tear trough filler and I am so glad I did. I was nervous but I trusted Claudette and boy did she deliver! Apparently my case was one of the more difficult ones she has had because of the amount of fat loss from my face. This impressed me even more given how she absolutely nailed it on the first try. Now I don't have to pointlessly put concealer under my eyes or worry about looking tired when I'm not. My face is brighter and more lifted and it's all because of Claudette's expertise. I've been beaming ever since. I *highly* recommend her if you are considering fillers.

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.

Kim is very easy to talk to and express my concerns. She’s very helpful and kind.

Amy is professional, patient, and kind. She offers great treatment options and is very gentle during treatments! Lynette is friendly and knowledge. She always greets you with a smile and looks for the best value for customers. It is evident she enjoys her job.

I just wanted to reach out /write you and tell you how pleased and satisfied I am with my surgery and the results I have received. Dr Burk and I discussed the options/goals and what's realistic and what wasn’t. I had obtained several other consultations with other plastic offices and with another surgeon telling me that I needed additional work, yet Dr. Burk disagreed and thought otherwise and guided me in the right direction. I felt confident and relaxed with his recommendation. He is extraordinarily talented in performing both primary and revision procedures. Dr Burk helped me to achieve exceptional outcome with my facial and neck modifications along with the improvement of my hands by suggesting fat transfer. I would like to also recognize The staff at PVP. They are very professional, very well organized and excellent with privacy. I really enjoyed working with Carol and I simply loved my over night nurse Carrie Cummings. Carrie was phenomenal. She was very attentive and caring. I’m hoping to return in the near future for my facial pigmentation.

Chris Weber is one of the kindest, most caring and professional staff members at PVPS! She’s also always helpful and informative regarding the procedure(s). Chris is an asset PVPS should be very proud of!

Amy, Kim and Tiffany are terrific!

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. The whole operation is phenomenal. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone, and I always do! They are all fantastic!

The staff at the Amelia Island office are wonderful and my practitioner Amy is always very friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

I adore Ashley. She is always professional warm caring and fast!!!

Jennifer was descriptive in her assessment, recommendations and procedures. I will recommend her to everyone.

NP Ashley Michaux is amazing! Her and her staff are always so kind and professional. The front desk staff were also so sweet and helpful. Thank you to all!

Ashley is awesome and really does what is right for the patient. I definitely appreciate her honesty and she makes it easy to trust and recommend her and PVPS to friends and family.

Dr. Bates was very thorough and kind. Very happy with with how my consult went. Looking forward to my procedure.

Dr. Bates and his nurse were fantastic!!! They were thorough with their explanations and answered all questions. My mind was at ease during the appointment and I was assured I will be in good hands. I will most definitely refer this office to anyone looking to have cosmetic procedures performed.

Sharon is awesome. Very thankful for her ! She is so caring and thorough. She’s positive and always makes me feel good about myself.

Love my hydro facials with Kylene Globis, skin looks and feels awesome

Carrie did a beautiful job on my fillers. Very pleasant and professional.

Everyone in the office is so, so nice and welcoming and professional! I just can’t say enough how much I LOVE this office! And I have been so pleased with my results.

I can't say enough great things about my entire experience at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery! From my initial call to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hickman, to the day after my surgery when I received a phone call checking in with me to see how I was doing ... Dr. Hickman and the entire Staff at PVPS have been nothing short of welcoming, kind, and professional beyond measure. Your compassionate, friendly, exceptional care is a gift, and appreciated immensely!

Sharon was lovely! Absolutely wonderful bedside manner and very intelligent - made me feel calm and informed.

Dr. Bates spent a great deal of time with me informing me about the procedure and what to expect. Bedside matter is warm and professional.

Amy was very thorough and explained everything as she was performing the procedure. I was nervous being a new patient, but she was very calming and professional.

Kylene Globis does an amazing job on my facials. Can’t wait til my next visit

Michelle is wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed my hydro-facial and learned a lot about my skin in the process. She’s friendly and fun! I’ll Be back for sure. In fact, I have already booked my next appointment.

Dr. Burk and his staff were amazing and welcoming. Very easy to talk to and listened to what you had to say.

Jennifer is so competent and professional and very caring. She even called after my appointment to check on me. Awesome!!!! And Tiffany at the reception is very friendly too I love PVPS! Thank you

Ashley gives me great PRP treatments. She’s the best!

Debra is fabulous at all of the services that she provides. So skilled, so professional and so kind and nice. Kiera is very skilled at greeting and checking in customers. Kiera also is so knowledgable in all of the services - and is very helpful in communicating that out to her customers. I am treated like family and love my PVPS

I love every single person that works for this office. Everyone is so nice, professional and so dang cute and the all the doctors have a great bedside manner. Everyone makes you feel important and not just a number!

Sharon Prince is so awesome! Incredibly friendly and warm, as well as amazing at her job!

I use the Nocotee office . Love Mary, she gives the best facials. Love Sharon Prince! Lynette at the front desk is so welcoming and personable

Sharon is professional, informative and very patient.

Working with Kim on Amelia Island and she is just wonderful! So professional, caring and attentive

Dr. Burk is who I have been seeing for over 10 years and have never been disappointed with any treatment I have received.

Jennifer was extremely helpful in explaining the procedure and alleviating my fears. She is very pleasant to talk with. I am totally comfortable with moving forward!

I had a great experience, from the friendly greeting at the front desk, the welcoming office environment to the informative consultation and procedure with Amy K. I highly recommend.

I appreciate the Dr being honest and giving the best advice for my situation. Excited for my future procedure!

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.

Mary is the best aesthetician in the city!

When Connie retired, I was heartbroken (but so happy for her)! Since then I started going to Sharon at Nocatee. I absolutely love her. She listens and provides specific feedback on questions or concerns that I have. She is always so friendly and easy to talk to! I also like that she shares her education trips on IG. The staff at the front desk (I don’t know her name) is so kind and thorough. She has an amazing personality. Over the decade that I have been coming to PVPS, everyone I have met has been great.

Sharon is AMAZING!! Always sweet and listens to my concerns and answers all my questions. Always does a great job! I know I always look my best after seeing her. Thank you Sharon!

Hydrofacial with Kylene Globis and it was wonderful as always.

Ashley is the best!!

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. From Nicky to Darchelle to Sofie, beautiful people on the outside & inside! Professional, kind, quality doctor and team. Dr. Sternberg looked at the injury & 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 & being a more active mom for my boys.

PVPS on Amelia Island is my happy place. I feel very well cared for and pampered. Always a joy to visit

Dr. Bates did my BR on 7/27/2021 I’m so in love with my results. His 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 thanks Dr Bates and his staff again for making my dream come true.

Deb is a lovely, understanding, professional practitioner who listened and showed concern for my concerns. Highly recommend

Mary was fantastic. I will be booking another facial with her. I've never enjoyed a facial, or seen results like I did with Mary!

Had a great first experience at PVPS in Amelia! Kim and Tiffany treated me like family. Kim made me feel comfortable with expressing my concerns about my face prior to treating me! Would highly recommend PVPS!!!!

Amy is terrific. She always explains the procedure and does an excellent job. Never hurts- very gentle.

Before and during the procedure I was told what was going to happen and what to expect. I was asked on many occasions, if I was okay and to let them know if I was feeling any pain. I really appreciated the concern for my well being.

PVPS is absolutely amazing. I have been a patient for 9 years and I could Not imagine going anywhere else.

Always a great experience and superior service. Thank you

Kimberly, APRN, was awesome!!!

Kim is wonderful

Visiting PVPS for my pre and post-op appointments has been a very pleasant experience. Every staff member from the front desk, to the nurses to Dr. Hickman has been unbelievably welcoming and kind. I will highly recommend!

After having my 4th child, I was eager to have a “mommy makeover” to fix what multiple pregnancies had left me with. Dr. Hollie Hickman was my second consultation. After meeting with her, I immediately knew she was “the one” and booked my surgery that same day. She is a true professional and I felt very comfortable in her care. Every single staff member from front desk, to the nurses, to Dr Hickman herself has been extremely welcoming, kind and helpful at each appointment. Dr. Hickman really listened to my goals and gave me exactly what I was hoping for! I had a breast reduction, tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo to my outer thighs. I’m now 7 weeks post-op and recovery has been a breeze. For the first time in several years, I feel confident in my own skin. I can’t tell you how thankful I am for PVPS!

Claudette is always always above and beyond with knowledge expertise and friendliness.

Very nice atmosphere and wonderful staff. Dr. Burk was very helpful. So positive and calm.

I was very impressed with the professionalism and respect of everyone I had contact with

Everyone was pleasant and efficient. Mary, who I see regularly, is to be commended for her skills and knowledge. She keeps me current with new procedures and products. She is always cheerful and I look forward to my visits. I am elderly so have been to many practices and this one is the BEST!

I was a little nervous about having my consultation because I am 61 and a lover of outdoors, so I expected to get fussed at just a little but instead, I was told you have great skin. I was recommended a few minor corrections to help me as I age that is completely affordable. The entire experience was perfect Ashley is so awesome. I am so excited for my next visit.

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 from Jennifer and Allyson 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, as I work to remain so inside! Blessings to you all.

Thank you for making me feel welcomed. I honestly left the office feeling very happy. I’m looking forward to my procedure and feeling better.

I feel so good and dr bates is so awesome and I feel so safe with him and his team.. they made me feel so welcome and I appreciate them so much.. this team Rock 😀

I had a wonderful experience at PVPS . The entire staff is wonderful and made me feel welcomed as soon as I entered their facility. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Bates, he is very knowledgeable explaining my procedure in detail and answering all of my questions. I felt very comfortable before my surgery and I am so pleased with my results . I’m looking forward to being a repeat patient. Definitely a five star experience!!

Very friendly staff and great bedside manner from Dr Burke. He made me feel right at home. Can't wait to schedule my surgery!

Claudette really made me feel at ease...she really is great at what she does. thank you

Dr. Hickman, Kaitlin and Carrie were all very professional, caring and informative. The office staff were always friendly and helpful. They helped me before, during and after surgery. There was someone available at all times to assist me and answer any questions I had.

Kim and staff are so friendly! Really enjoyed my time there yesterday!

My experience with Jennifer was amazing. She was so nice and made my experience great. I felt very comfortable with her and she explained everything thoroughly! I can’t wait to get back into the office to see her!

I felt very welcomed.. There was no pressure and I felt everyone wanted to make sure I understood and everyone was there to help me. I will be moving forward to the next step.

Kimberly was amazing and took a lot of time and care to help me decide which injectable was best for me given my desired outcomes and health history! Her expertise and experience helped guide me to the best choice for me. Can't recommend enough!

I love Dr. Hickman! She was absolutely great at explaining everything. She was not in and out the door, she answered all of my questions and my husbands ( I have explained things to my husband, that is proof that men don’t listen! 😂😂 ) It is so hard to find a plastic surgeon that you trust and that is able to do an En Bloc Total Capsulectomy. I highly recommend Dr. Hollie Hickman and the staff at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery.

Procedure is already scheduled. I was highly impressed and comfortable with each and every employee I came in contact with. Was referred by numerous friends and family, now I understand why.

I had such a wonderful experience here. Dr.Bates has amazing bed side manner, and his nurse is wonderful. I was also really impressed by the preop nurse Robin and my over night nurse Taylor was wonderful and sweet. Everyone went above and beyond. I will always use this facility for any future procedures. Surgery can be daunting and thus staff made you feel at ease and in good hands. I’d give 6 stars if I could.

I’ve been to the Nocatee and Ponte Vedra location for micro needling, Botox and a facial. I’ve used Mary and Amy and I LOVE them. They must know I’m a bit self conscious about my skin and are always so mindful of that. Awesome ladies! All the front desk ladies are always fantastic as well. I always recommend you guys for services. You all rock! :)

Very welcoming and professional staff!

I felt like I was walking in to a resort. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Hickman took her time explaining everything to me and what I can expect. I am very excited for my procedure.

Everyone is very professional. I liked Dr Hickman very much. She addressed all of my concerns and took her time with me.

I met with Dr. Hickman for a consult on a Friday and couldn’t wait to call and schedule my surgery! The whole staff has been wonderful and so helpful. I’m so excited for my procedure in two weeks!

Very clean an nice place. Kimberly was awsome. 😊

I had my first hydrafacial today with Michelle at the Nocatee location, and all I can say is I'm blown away with my results!! I take pretty good care of my skin but struggle with congestion, especially on and around my nose and chin area. After today's treatment you would never know that!! My skin is literally glowing!! The treatment from start to finish was relaxing and painless. Michelle talked me through the process and was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. I was always made aware of what to expect with each part of the treatment and felt comfortable asking any questions I had along the way. She really took the time to listen to my concerns and I am confident Im in great hands. If your thinking about getting something like this done DO IT and I cannot recommend Michelle enough! You will be blown away at how amazing your skin looks and feels after one visit! Cannot wait to book my next appointment thank you again Michelle!!

Kim took time before my facial to listen to my concerns. She formulated a plan to get my skin in its best health. Recommended products, but not pressured to buy. Made my next appointment before I left!

Awesome in all respects. I felt my consultation was specific to my needs and concerns and I am very happy with the results.

I had Botox and filler on my last visit and as always Sharon was great, always does a super job.

Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery has excellent customer service from the minute you walk in till the minute you leave. The staff is very nice and professional. Ashley works wonders! She made me feel so comfortable with the procedures that I got done, she was very knowledgeable as well. She makes you walk out feeling amazing! Thank you Ashley! I look forward to my next appointment!

I enjoyed ms Kimberly she was very sweet she worked with me and everything was very clean and nice. I will be returning again.

Entire experience was terrific from beginning to end of the consultation. Everyone was friendly, answered all of my questions and attentive. Enjoyed meeting Dr. Sternberg and his staff.

Attentive and friendly staff! Kimberly listened to my concerns and made great suggestions. Very happy with my filler!

Dr. Hickman and the entire PVPS team are extremely knowledgeable and caring. They were excellent in walking me through the surgery and managing my care and expectations. As a result I have an excellent outcome!

Amy was wonderful

Kylene Globis always does an awesome job on my face whether it is hydro facial or micro needling. Very considerate and always makes you feel comfortable and explains the procedure and what it does for your skin.

Dr. Sternburg is fantastic! I highly recommend PVPS. From the girls at the front desk to the nurses, NP’s, DR.’s and staff you meet each time you’re in the office. Everyone is always kind, caring , and compassionate about anything you ask. I had a great experience and very happy with my results.

Sharon is so amazing!

Dr. Hickman left no question unanswered. She made me feel a lot more at ease about my surgery. I love all the detail she put into just the consultation.

Absolutely sensational practice. Every single person was so helpful, professional and friendly. Such a spectacular experience. Ashley was fabulous and so personable!

After putting it off for way too long, I finally bit the bullet and went to Claudette to get tear trough filler and I am so glad I did. I was nervous but I trusted Claudette and boy did she deliver! Apparently my case was one of the more difficult ones she has had because of the amount of fat loss from my face. This impressed me even more given how she absolutely nailed it on the first try.

I've been beaming ever since. I *highly* recommend her if you are considering fillers.

Walking into the office I felt very vulnerable. Talking about parts of my body that I don’t like is not fun. But everyone from the from desk receptionist to the nurse, doctor and patient care coordinator were so friendly. It really made me feel more relaxed

I had breast plant removal and a lift ... Doctor Sterberg and all staff were amazing!! I love the work he did and I am very happy with the end results!

Dr Bates performed eyelid ( December 2020), face and neck ( April 2021) lift on me in the past few months. I have been extremely pleased with the outcomes. My eyelid surgery was covered by...

A charming place and the staff are delightful. They were all very attentive and friendly. I am looking forward to having my surgery performed there.

Was very pleased with Jennifer,very knowledgeable and professional!

Wonderful experience yesterday afternoon with Sharon and the staff with my Botox treatment. They were all very knowledgeable in their field and I was completely comfortable during my visit. Highly recommended PVPS!

My experience with the office was outstanding. The staff and Dr. Bates could not have been nicer. A special thank you to Rosie and Patty for making me feel so comfortable prior to my procedure.

Debra is amazing! She is very professional, knowledgeable and very kind. I totally trust her recommendations for skin products and treatments. I highly recommend her!

LOOK NO FURTHER! Dr. Hickman is fabulous! She cares about your results! I had small breasts but am tall and thin with broader shoulders. I look very natural, my breasts fit my frame and fill out my clothes so much better. My only regret is not doing this 15-20 years ago. I was 50 when I had this surgery 7 months ago! I would do it all over again!!

Very informative consultation. I really appreciated Dr. Sternberg for taking time to share what the procedure entails and what I can expect. Everyone was very welcoming!

I didn't want to go too big and hate them but if they came out too small they would still be more than I had. - After nursing two kids and never having much for a chest, I decided to go for it after years of wanting breast implants. I'm 35 yrs old, 5'5 and 130 pounds. This site has helped me so much so I want to share my experience. The 3D imaging and sizers in the office helped to pick the size but ultimately I trusted Dr. Hickman at the moment to give me natural-looking and proportionate implants. ...

Everyone from the front desk, to the consult nurses, to Dr Bates and his nurse Rosie are absolutely amazing! No one compares to the amount of care they provide for their patients! I was extremely on edge, never being put under or ever having surgery before and they went over and beyond for me! So grateful for their kindness and expertise!

“Had an excellent experience, staff was very friendly and professional. Jennifer is very skilled at her job. Thank you”

Amy is absolutely amazing and she understand the nuances of men’s skin and how to achieve the natural look. So, if you are looking for a discreet, friendly, and nature look experience- go see Amy (I won’t tell anyone you went men)

“I'm coming back in July to see Amy for next Botox treatment. Everyone was delightful. I loved Amy and her work is superb! She and her assistant made me feel very comfortable.”

Kimberly is amazing! You name the aesthetic desire and she has you covered. She will recommend just what you need whether it be Botox, fillers, laser, etc. You will never look over done, ever. She has an expert eye for symmetry and how to ensure you look like your best self! She is incredibly thorough and meticulous. She has an insanely solid background in plastic surgery and hands on training from all her years as NYU. Your face will be in expert hands with nurse practitioner Kimberly!

I had two laser treatments done my Jennifer Olivieri who was fantastic. Jennifer is kind and caring, she addressed all of my concerns and went above and beyond! I would highly recommend her.

Dr Bates is awesome! I couldn’t be happier with my results and can’t wait for the next stage of my transformation. I have never met a more kind hearted professional team. From the Front desk associates to the nurses doctors and surgical staff every single one of them is outstanding.

“I really enjoyed my treatment and meeting Chris Weber. She was professional and very informative. I will definitely return for further treatments.”

I am so thrilled with my results! From my initial consult and speaking with Beth, the decision to move forward was easy. Thanks to Dr. Bates for everything. The nurses and staff are amazing. I’m so thankful to PVPS and especially Dr. Bates!

Amy Kadlubowski. That is the only name you need to know if you want botox or fillers. It really is a form of art, and to be able to look like you were just born like this versus having people gawk about "oooooo she totally had work done" is awesome. I not only look great after seeing Amy, but she does my injections so perfectly my own mother just thinks I'm aging backwards! haha.... she's just that good. Stop reading this and go schedule an appointment already!

“Jennifer was amazing!!! I’m beyond happy with my procedure and the results I’m seeing. I will definitely be using this practice for any future procedures and recommend to all of my friends!”

I would like to take this moment to give the utmost praise and appreciation to Dr. Bates. I am a Breast Cancer survivor of 22 years. I have had multiple reconstruction surgeries to make my breasts look normal from another practice. I went through a lot of dark times wondering if it just wasn’t meant for me to feel beautiful again. I was really at the point of giving up. I didn’t feel like the doctor and staff were very empathetic and concerned about my individual situation. I just felt like a number. A friend of mine recommended Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery because she had a procedure done and was extremely pleased so I thought I should reach out to them for help. As a result, I met Dr. Bates. He completely changed my life and how I felt about myself. He made all of my insecurities about the way I looked go away. He is a very caring, kind and genuine person who takes everything you have to say seriously. I feel so at ease talking to him. I like how he takes time to really listen to me and my concerns. He is a phenomenal doctor that has great skill and knowledge. He made me feel like a new woman after so many failed surgeries. I haven’t felt this way for many years. He made my life whole again. Thank you Dr. Bates for your incredible warm personality. You truly are one of a kind. May you be blessed in all that you do for others. I’m so happy our paths crossed. I will be forever grateful to you.

Great first visit. Staff is friendly and professional. Was comfortable with the Covid measures in place!

Dr. Burk, Carol and the rest of th he PVPS team are professional, compassionate and just the best at what they do. I'm looking fantastic after my recent face surgery. Yay!

Such a wonderful experience. My nurse practitioner Jennifer was professional and kind. Listened to what I wanted and I ended up with results better than I could have hoped for. I could not recommend them enough!

Dr.Hickman is an amazing Doc and she’s very passionate about what she does.

This was my first appointment with Ponte Vedra Plastics at their Southside location off Gate Parkway! I was immediately blown away by their warm and welcoming staff, and their cozy and clean waiting area. Our nurse practitioner, Sharon, was so helpful and walked us through the Botox service we were receiving, called a lip flip. She showed us where she would be injecting and what muscles would be affected. I could tell Sharon not only wanted to perform the procedure correctly, but wanted to educate us on what parts of the face these injections would be impacting and why. You don’t see that type of patient service at just any cosmetics office. I’m truly so satisfied with my results and can not wait to book my next appointment! I would highly recommend Ponte Vedra Plastics for anyone looking to get a aesthetics procedure or surgery done in Jacksonville or the surrounding areas!

Enjoyed the entire experience. Both Kim and Jennifer took the time to explain my options and were very warm and friendly. Loved my hydra facial!

I went in for a consultation with Dr Bates for a minor procedure to close a lip ring piercing . This was my first visit here - the front staff very kind and welcoming- Dr. Bates answered all my questions and he explained in great detail the procedure process- Beth was kind and helpful with scheduling the procedure in office. Nice staff from walk in to walk out - thank you ! Look forward to the next appointment.

The very best!!!!! Chris Webber is the best ever. If you need a facial or peel....or just need advice on what you may need to help refresh your skin, she’s your lady!! I’ve been going to her for over 20years. Take one look at her skin, and you will be sold!

Check in was easy - Ashley and Carrie were wonderful making me feel comfortable and reviewing all potential options. I would highly recommend.

I'm a new patient. I'm so pleased that I finally found Kimberly and Deb to do my fillers and skin care. They were both very attentive and worked together to present a plan that was perfect for me. I'm so thankful.

The best staff ever very professional, courteous, super clean. Dr. Bates is amazing has such a great sense of understanding of is patients and his nurses are amazing, Rosalie makes you feel like family explains with details and is on point!! OR staff is great and also caring. I have never felt so safe and well cared for . 100% recommended !!

I would like to thank Dr Sternberg what an amazing surgeon . I went in for a small procedure and was treated like a princess by the entire staff I wish to thank lisa and crystal in the OR You guys are truly wonderful thank you again and I highly recommend your Practice -Dr Sternberg

Great staff and Dr. Burk is always on point! 10/10 recommend

Dr.Hickman is an amazing Doc and she’s very passionate about what she does. Choose her to be your surgeon.

Everyone was so friendly from the moment I walked in the front door until the minute I left. Dr. Rumsey is very friendly, personal, takes his time to talk over different options and gives great advice to achieve the best results. Looking forward to returning soon!

“I have so enjoyed my hydro facials... Kylene is Knowledgeable and is helping me to achieve my skin care regimen. I’m 55 so no better time then now to start taking care of my face”

Sharon was the most delicate and gentle injector I have ever experiences, she did an amazing job and I have fantastic results! I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend.

I was very impressed with the office and the staff. Dr. Sternberg and his staff were very nice and answered all of my concerns/questions. If I were to get a job I would want to work in an office like Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery.

Quick and easy, I love it.

What a difference! I knew after my first visit with Kim, I was in excellent care. I came to PVPS with a few chronic skin issues besides ageing. After my first visit with Kim I could feel and see a difference. A quick and painless visit with Amy, my issues were completely addressed. I have followed the advice and schedule developed for me and suggested by both providers, and am completely thrilled with my results! My chronic issues are managed and my skin has not looked or felt as healthy as it does in ten years! I will also share, every interaction I have had with PVPS employees has been professional and caring. Becoming a client with these folks has been one of the best things I have done for myself in a long time. Viva la difference!

Thank you doctor Sternberg . Lisa and crystal for taking such great care of me yesterday you're an amazing team super fun to be around and I felt very safe and well taken of.. highly recommend PVPS

I have been seeing Chris at PVPS for years now - and she is by far one of the most skilled estheticians I have ever seen! We’ve been working on my acne, and she has completely transformed my skin. She has great recommendations for facials/lasers/procedures that will give me the results I want, and ensures I feel comfortable with the different options. Plus, she is amazingly kind and educated - and is an absolute joy to visit! The entire PVPS team is amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

This was my first visit to a plastic surgeon so I was admittedly nervous. The entire office staff was friendly and made me feel welcome and Dr. Bates made me feel completely at ease during the consultation. He listened to my concerns and provided his professional recommendation without trying to push anything additional on me, which I sincerely appreciate. I would definitely recommend them to friends and plan to schedule my procedure soon.

I had my first surgery here with Dr. Erez Sternberg and am so pleased with my results of liposuction and fat transfer to buttocks (bbl). He is very talented & he gave me my confidence back! The experience from my consultation to post surgery was great. I followed all the post op directions and recovered fairly quickly. He was honest and set realistic expectations with me from the beginning and I trusted he would delivery the results I desired. He certainly exceeded my expectations. The practice itself is beautiful and the nurses were very helpful in answering my pre op and post op questions. All in all this was a really positive experience for me. Thank you Dr. Sternberg for your amazing work!

Good afternoon! I wanted to send you all this wonderful feedback we got from a patient survey about her consultation with Dr. Hickman! “I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Hickman. After 3 other consultations in the past 6 weeks, I left PVPS confident about which surgeon I will be choosing for my “mommy makeover”. I look forward to scheduling soon. Finally! My decision was also made easier by my son’s girlfriend speaking so highly of Dr. Hickman. Girlfriend’s Mother was taken care of by Dr. Hickman when she had breast cancer. At the time, my son’s girlfriend was in middle school. I was struck by what an impression Dr. Hickman made on a little girl (at the time) when her Mom was suffering.” Just a nice reminder that the work you all do does not go unnoticed or unappreciated 

I went in for a consultation with Dr Bates for a minor procedure to close a lip ring piercing . This was my first visit here - the front staff very kind and welcoming- Dr. Bates answered all my questions and he explained in great detail the procedure process- Beth was kind and helpful with scheduling the procedure in office. Nice staff from walk in to walk out - thank you ! Look forward to the next appointment.

I am so grateful for my “team” of facial experts at PVPS,Amelia Island office. They have been helping me “look my best” for my son’s wedding ,which has been postponed from it’s original date May 2020( because of Covid) ,to September 2021. Tiffany has been so terrific and has helped me figure out how to manage (along with Kim)my time schedule and the best way to utilize specials and points. She is always great with advice on all of the products and procedures. Kim is my aesthetician extraordinaire and has given my skin a much more healthy, youthful appearance. She recommended alternating hydra facials and skin pen treatments and the fine lines above my lips and around my eyes are disappearing. I have been amazed at the results that she produces, and thoroughly enjoy the time spent in her chair. Amy has done a wonderful job with the finishing touches. She keeps the parts of my face moving that need to, and the others still. She never overdoes and I always feel like I look refreshed and natural. These ladies have been such a joy to “work” with and are invaluable to me. They truly work as a team , sharing information and ideas about how to be the most helpful to their clients. They will remain my team for maintenance, relaxation and above all friendship. Thanks so much ladies!

Kylene gave me the deluxe facial and it was amazing after only one treatment I can see and feel the difference. I will be adding the facial to my regiment of skin care. Kylene and I discussed some issues during my time with her and she has recommended that I talk with someone in the future. Love PVPS!

The staffs customer service was excellent.The provider addressed my questions and concerns.

Claudette was incredible! I was a first time filler client and she really took time to explain everything to me and came up with a game plan that was perfect for what I was trying to achieve. Will be a client for life.

So far, I’ve only had a breast reduction consultation but I am very impressed! Kind attentive staff, knowledgeable surgeons, and a gorgeous facility! I will definitely be booking with Ponte Vedra!

Claudette is YOUR GIRL when it comes to injectables. Just had my first treatment and she really takes the time to come up with a great game plan for your needs. Highly recommend!

everyone in your center was friendly and helpful. they seemed to go above and beyond my normal expectations of an office of this type.

Amy was fabulous! I really felt comfortable and at ease in the office and the staff made me feel welcome and glad I was there! I am looking forward to my next appointment.

Great job, Sharon! First time doing Botox went great thanks to Sharon!

This a very cute, clean little office. The The receptionist was warm and welcoming. I was seen right away even though i was early. Amy K was great. She explained everything well and her treatment was the least painful i ever had before. Big bonus right there :). I will be back!

Dr. Chris Bates and the Staff at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery (Rosalie Silva (RN), Beth Griffin (PCC), and Dr. Jennifer Conde(ASA)) could not have come more highly recommended and or provided me with better patient care throughout ALL stages of this procedure. Dr. Bates and his team did a phenomenal job listening to my concerns, answering all of my questions, and making the best recommendations and suggestions based on what I imagined for myself. From beginning to end I felt confident in the team and the process and always leave feeling like the best version of myself. I am beyond pleased with my experience and would 10/10 recommend!! Thank you for all that you do, it matters!

Excellent physicians, ethical, caring and most importantly, achieve good results.

“Kim, So wonderful to see you and finally enjoy a special facial treatment after so long. I’m appreciative of services and pleased to be under your expert care! 2021 here we come”

The staff was great! Being poked, prodded, and inspected is never easy, but everyone there created a very relaxed and friendly environment. Thank you.

Jennifer was amazing!!!!!! Very gentle and thorough!! I lived my visit even though needles were used!😊

I have done multiple treatments at PVPS and love them. They did my arm liposuction and fat grafting, and I have done a couple hydrofacials. Dr. Snyder did my liposuction and I was very pleased with my results, and I got fat grafting to fill a dent where I had a tumor. This is the only place that doesn’t make me breakout for facials too. They are clinical, so there’s more of a premium than your average spa, but they give results. When I had my surgery, it was like I was getting it in a home which made me comfortable and not worried. I trust PVPS and love Mary who did the facials. She hadn’t seen me in a year and still remembered me. I love going!

Jennifer was amazing and took the time to explain the procedures in detail. Very clean and beautiful place. Highly recommend for your botox needs!

I went in to get a HydraFacial Deluxe by Kylene yesterday and my skin looks and feels amazing! It’s so much more plump and youthful just after one treatment. I can’t wait to go back for maintenance treatments. Kylene is so knowledgeable, professional, and sweet! I cannot rave enough about my experience and results. Book your appointment now! Oh, and talk to her about the ZO line of products they sell in office 👌🏼

Originally, I was a patient in 2002 through 2005. Now the last 1-1/2 years. I am so happy with my results! PVPS consistently has the most professional and kind staff.

I was very pleased with the first contact via phone. Upon our arrival, we were treated very kindly and professionally. Everyone we came in contact with was very pleasant and caring. Dr. Christopher Bates was a pleasure from the start. We really enjoyed his kind and caring personality along with his extensive knowledge. My son who is sixteen is very quiet and he made a comment to me he liked Dr. Bates. That says a lot! We appreciate Dr. Bates making us feel at home from the start. Thank you & Happy New Year!

Kim, I had a wonderful experience with my first HydraFacial with you. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was so pleased with the outcome when I got home and looked in my mirror. What a difference I could see! Thanks for taking the time to explain the procedure and the product information also. You were great and I appreciate you

Kim was so lovely and made me feel right at home! And the hydrating facial made me feel 10 years younger! Highly recommend PVPS!!

Amazing surgeons and excellent staff for the best experience and outcomes! Highly recommend for anyone in need of services provided here.

Amy is amazing, as always. I sent my daughter to get her lips filled as a Christmas gift. My daughter informed me that was very thorough and professional. This doesn’t surprise me, as Amy administers my routine Botox. Thank you PVPS! Merry Christmas!

I so appreciated Kim ((Amelia Island location) taking her time to explain the different facial options - taking into consideration my medical history and desired end results. As a new resident of the Island, she is a great ambassador for the practice and the island.

Originally, I was a patient in 2002 through 2005. Now the last 1-1/2 years. I am so happy with my results! PVPS consistently has the most professional and kind staff.

Dr Steinberg was really impressive, friendly, and professional. I plan to let him perform my procedure

Kim, Thank you for “going above and beyond” to save me- I really can’t tell you how much I appreciate you!

I just wanted to give Dr. Bates an excellent review here since I know he is newer to this location and being a business owner that relies on reviews and social media, I know it matters. His bedside manner could not be any more professional yet he still makes you feel comfortable and at ease. He is an amazing surgeon and his nurse Rosa is amazing as well. She promptly replies to any questions I have and they have been there every step of the way before, during and after surgery. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Bates and his team. I am so happy with my decision to go with him as my Dr. He is an excellent addition to the team here and I am so thankful their hard work and dedication.

Staff so friendly and professional. Loved the office. Amy is awesome!

I have been wanting to have a breast reduction and lift for 25 years but I was too afraid. I had never had surgery before. But I woke up one morning in September 2019 OVER my 34G breasts. I was over the backaches, poor posture, having to wear a bra with my bathing suit, not being able to wear cute dresses or jog. I was just over them! Because we have used PVPS for other minor services, my search for a surgeon began there. Dr. Hickman was recommended. I looked at several other local surgeons but kept coming back to her. BEST decision I’ve ever made! I had my consultation in February 2020, and my surgery was scheduled for April. Because of COVID, it kept getting pushed back, but on May 15, 2020, just days after elective surgery’s were once again allowed, it finally happened! I was far more excited than scared and I knew I was in the very best hands with Dr. Hickman. When I woke up from surgery, my life instantly changed. My recovery was easy ... no drains, no ugly external sutures, just absolutely perfect, perky 34D breasts. I haven’t been a D since I was 16! I’m 45 and for the first time in my life, I’m not disgusted to look at my breasts. Seriously ladies - it’s a life-changer and Dr. Hickman is amazing!!!! If you’ve even thought about a breast reduction, make your consultation appointment with PVPS today!

Staff are extremely friendly professional and welcoming. The facility is cozy open and well designed for your comfort. The care team explains everything in detail and ensures that you have all your questions answered before you leave as well as provide contact information should you have additional questions. Their pricing is reasonable and they offer financing options. I have used Dr. Rumsey in the past and I am very confident in returning to him for additional procedures.

Don’t think I’ve ever been in an office as friendly, organized and professional. And, there’s nothing not to love about Amy.

Kylene was great! I received the Hydrafacial and will definitely be back for more services with her. She is super knowledgeable on products and treatments and provides great customer service.

Where do I start with PVPS? They are AMAZING! I went in for my 5 month follow up and I couldn't be happier with my results. The work that Dr. Sternberg did was above and beyond what I was expecting. He has given me such a confidence boost and it feels great. Him and his team took the time to make sure I would get the exact look I wanted. Everyone in their office is so sweet and caring and friendly. They checked in on me with phone calls and emails after surgery to ensure that I was doing okay throughout recovery. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you Dr. Sternberg!!

Due to a rupture, I had breast explant surgery with a lift/mastopexy with Dr. Hickman. I did evaluate other surgeons in the Jacksonville area, including Mayo, before deciding on Dr. Hickman. Overall, I felt much more comfortable with a female surgeon. She is empathetic, listens carefully, takes the time to understand your expectations as a woman, and most importantly - does beautiful, clean, precise, and careful work. I am only on week 3 healing, but the results are already amazing. And, the PVPS care team is super efficient with excellent communication, service, and responsiveness. Overall, would highly recommend.

Dr. Burke, Nancy, Beth, Michelle and the rest of the staff are simply OUTSTANDING!!! They go above and beyond to meet your needs. Dr. Burke has an amazing artful approach that leads to the most beautiful results.

For more than 25 years, I’ve been carrying around enormous breasts. I’ve wanted to have a breast reduction/lift surgery for so long but I was too afraid. Finally, one day I was over it ... or them, I should say. Because I had  been using PVPS for my Botox, I decided to begin my search for the perfect surgeon there. I was told that Dr. Hickman was amazing with breast jobs, so I scheduled my consultation with her. While waiting for the time of the appointment to come, I researched several other doctors but kept going back to Dr. Hickman ... to find out later, for good reason. My consultation was in February, 2020 just before covid. We did get insurance approval (I was going from a 34G to a 34D) and my surgery was scheduled. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it got pushed back three times. But finally, on the morning of May 15, I was on my way to the PVPS surgery center. I was too excited to be scared and Dr. Hickman definitely helped me with this. I KNEW my life was going to change that day and it DID!  And just a few perks - Dr. Hickman doesn’t use drains and my sutures were all internal so my incision lines were clean. I am 6 months post op now, my scars are barely visible, and my breasts look amazing!  Now I can wear bathing suits without a bra under, I can wear sundresses without having to wear a harness underneath. I can jog!!  Jog!!!!  I could never do that before!  My posture immediately improved and my confidence has never been higher. I want to encourage any woman who can relate to call Dr. Hickman. I will never forget her for changing my life.

I am truly blessed to have Ponte Vedre Plastic Surgery as a member of my health care team. My experiences with everyone in the office have been outstanding as they are all so courteous and treat everyone as an individual. Amy and Kim are truly knowledgeable in all things related to making a person feel as good about ones insides as well as outward appearance.

Absolutely love going here. I see Claudette for Botox and filler and she is naturally gifted at her skill. She has a great personality and is just a genuinely good person. She listens and doesn’t suggest things you don’t need. She is very gentle and always takes her time. Always LOVE my results and won’t go anywhere else!!

Everyone was extremely nice. Appointment was right on time. Dr Hickman explained everything very thoroughly. Had pre-op appt same day. The nurse was great, very knowledgeable and efficient. Highly recommend!

Kylene's passion and knowledge of her services and products are top notch!

This stellar practice of exceptional doctors and nurse practitioners will always be my #1. They are kind, professional, and highly skilled.

I loved how thorough dr Hickman was and can’t wait to book my procedure with her! Everything was super professional and I felt comfortable the whole time.

This stellar practice of exceptional doctors and nurse practitioners will always be my #1. They are kind, professional, and highly skilled. Amy is my go to gal for facial transformation, sending me off into the world refreshed looking far less my age. No need to look any further, PVPS is the place to go!

Being new to Ponte Vedra, I was so happy to have Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery recommended to me. As a new patient to plastic surgery, I was so lucky to meet Dr. Bates and his team at PVPS. Everyone was so fantastic and they made me feel comfortable and supported from the minute I walked in for my first appointment. Having completed my surgery with Dr. Bates, I could not have asked for a better surgeon or nicer person. He took his time to carefully explain everything to me from what to expect to the careful post surgery details. He has such a nice way about him and made me feel like I was his most important patient. And as for the surgery results, they are amazing. Dr. Bates is a meticulous artist and surgeon who gave me the exact results I was looking for. What a fantastic addition to the team of great doctors at PVPS.

Chris is the most attentive aesthetician that I have ever seen. The improvement in my skin since seeing her is amazing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone in that field!

Love Kylene! She is a master esthetician! She is gentle and honest and is wonderful at what she does! Highly recommend her and PVPS!

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the honesty of Dr. Bates.

If you are looking for an aesthetician, Kylene is your girl! Her warm and friendly personality, mixed with her knowledge and skillset of aesthetics is truly unmatched. Looking forward to my next appointment!

I am writing to give a huge thank you to Dr. Bates. First off, this was my first surgery of any kind and he was there to answer any questions that I had along the way. Dr. Bates is very knowledgeable about his craft and you can tell from the first interaction with him that he wants the best outcome possible for each and every patient. Dr. Bates had an outstanding bedside manner, which I am thankful for since as stated prior this was my first procedure of any kind. Dr. Bates is not only a wonderful surgeon but overall a caring physician who looks out for the needs of each person he comes in contact with. Dr. Bates also has a fantastic nurse named Rosie and they will be making many people happy for years to come.

The best. Everything is perfect. The people are very professional.

Brachioplasty - phase II - Next step in the journey! After weight loss surgery and losing 170lbs I had my lower body lift. Now on to phase II, shaping up the sagging skin on my arms. Here we go! Surgery day was 9/29. I'll post some "pre" pics and then document the recovery. As I write this I am on day 4 of recovery so off the pain meds since day 2. It's more "uncomfortable" than painful since I have to keep my arms up. Still lots swelling but I see where I'm heading!

Dr Christopher Bates was a pleasure to meet and made me feel so comfortable ☺.

I had previously met with a PVPS physician a few years ago. It was ok, but I didn't move forward with the Kybella recommendation. This time I met with Dr. Burk who suggested a different procedure and we included a blepharoplasty. Excellent staff, knowledgeable and highly personable, wonderful experience, and I'm excited to do the procedure.

I’ve been going here for quite a few years and I’ve never once been disappointed and Dr. Sternberg is amazing

Ashley is amazing. She made me so comfortable as she came across very confident in her answers to my many questions. Her Assistant was extremely nice. Really everyone was. First time there and forever a customer now. Thank you

I loved PVPS! Super professional, quick, easy, and taking all the correct COVID-19 procedures that we are currently dealing with. Already booked my next appointment, and I can’t wait to go back!

Dr. Sternberg was amazing! So nice and friendly. He answered all my questions and told me all of my options. I was able to try on a bra with the size of an implant so I could test the weight and size I would be. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well!

I felt very comfortable& informed on every detail of procedure.

I found it to be a great experience. You are all very professional and very careful about the COVID-19 procedures. And I am looking forward to having my procedure with Dr. Sternberg. I felt very comfortable with him and he was very thorough and explained exactly what he would be doing. I will be sure to recommend others to him.

The staff are very friendly and profession. Dr Burke is thorough with his explanations, examination, and comforting bed side mannerisms. Nancy is super sweet and welcoming. Highly recommended for an all around outstanding place of business.

On time, polite, professional, & necessary safety procedures in place to mitigate passing COVID. Thank you. Great Experience.

Hi Tiffany, Number one you are all so darling and gorgeous and nice. We moved here from Washington DC in January and finding the right person for my face was important. Everyone I asked recommended Amy. Amy is my new best friend. She knows exactly how much Voluma and Botox to inject so I looked very natural and not a single bruise. It is a great idea to add gradually in case you want a little tweak. I could not be more pleased

Absolute best bedside manner. Took all the time in my consult to explain, review, draw pictures. I did 5 consults and he absolutely stood out as the best. Even better post surgery. No complications. Personally called me to check up on me. Would 100% recommend and would return for any additional surgeries.

Recently I had a blepharoplasty by Dr. Rumsey and my results turned out  to be superb! I am very lucky that I picked him for my procedure, although I did not know much about Dr. Rumsey.  Even after the initial consultation I fell at peace and confident that it would be successful. I could sense the professionalism of Dr. Rumsey. His calm and kind demeanor made me feel confident moving forward. Thank you so much, Dr. Rumsey for the beautiful transformation of my eyelids and that I can finally see better. May you continue to bring joy to your patients and continue making them beautiful. Also, huge thanks to all the office personnel. Each encounter I had there, everyone was very friendly, professional and punctual. The office works like a well oiled machine. I am really impressed!

This is the absolute best place for any cosmetic procedure in Jacksonville. Whether it is simply injections, skin care products or anything non surgical to more intensive, surgical procedures; PVPS is the best. The entire staff are so knowledgeable and very friendly, I am always 100% comfortable. Their doctors are all highly trained and very impressive. Excellent results at all levels, every time.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR.STERNBERG!!!!!I was referred to Dr. Sternberg by my closest friend,  for a breast augmentation. Before my initial consultation, I was not 100% sure that I wanted the surgery, over the past 2-3 years I have been to a few different surgeons for consultations and never followed through with it! Along with being very indecisive about it all, I was very anxious because I have never had any sort of surgery and afraid I would regret having the breast augmentation. The day I met Dr. Sternberg, I was immediately comfortable and It was clear how talented and passionate he is about his work! With all the overwhelming options and decisions that come with having a breast augmentation; Dr. Sternberg’s honesty made it so clear and easy,  before leaving PVPS I scheduled the actual surgery date (July 6, 2020)! Doctor Sternberg, Anesthesiologist, Nurses, and the Staff are all very professional, kind, and overall amazing! From start to finish it was the best experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Sternberg and Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery to anyone!!

Excellent plastic surgeon! He fixed both my breasts as one had capsular contracture (from a surgery with a different PS that was done several years ago) and the other tightened pocket. And I went smaller (I am a 2 time breast cancer survivor) Took away my neck and back pain too! Breasts look wonderful! Thank you Dr. Burk!

Alison is an amazing artist with eyebrows as well as a very knowledgeable aesthetician. She took the time to listen before formulating a treatment plan to meet my specific skin care needs.She is professional and considerate in her health care delivery. Alison demonstrates excellent patient care and also provides thorough follow-up care .

Enbloc Implant Removal - I loved the way my implants looked, but I began to have several severe health problems after hitting my breast jumping from a waterfall. After going to the er, and multiple doctors without any reason for my declining health I emailed Dr Sternberg to get his opinion. I trust him completely, which is really saying a lot as I am usually very cautious of physicians. He contacted me back and had me come in for a check up to see what was going on. He decided that although not certain, my symptoms could possibly be related to the breast implants. So for health reasons, we decided to have them removed instead of replaced. Dr Sternberg did an enbloc implant removal and capsulectomy. He is by far the best surgeon practicing. Out of the multiple doctors I went to searching for help and to regain my health he was the only one who truly cared about me. I have seen a cardiologist, my primary care physician, two functional medicine doctors, my gynecologist, and the emergency room physicians, along with thousands of dollars worth of blood work and other testing. Not a single one even cared about my health, or listened to my body's symptoms. I can not even begin to explain how amazing Dr Sternberg and his staff are. Lisa, Robin, and Dr Martin (The anesthesiologist) are all amazing as well and make you feel as comfortable as possible. I was nervous about surgery when I went in, and the one thing that sticks out to me was he cared so much about my well being. He told me that he believed this would make me feel better, and if it did not we WOULD find out what was making me sick. He gave me hope. As someone who works in the medical field, I can assure you that this stood out to me and spoke volumes to me. I would trust him 100%. He is a perfectionist. If you are unhappy with his work, I highly doubt you would find any solace elsewhere. If you are considering him, you are making the right choice. I am now 1 week post op and I feel amazing. I have a long way to go in my healing process, but I think I am getting my life back on track, thanks to him. I feel he has truly saved my life.

32, 5'8, 135lbs, 365cc. High Profile, Under, Mother of 1 - Brand new to RealSelf but it has been tremendously helpful thus far so I figured I'd repay this community and add my own story in case anyone wants to follow along.My surgery is booked for Monday, July 6th. I have my COVID-19 test tomorrow, I'll get those results Saturday and then hopefully I am good to go! Stats: 32 years old, 5'8, typically fluctuate between 135-140lbs. I have one child and I breastfed him. I have always been extremely small, sitting at a 32A, and it's been a source of insecurity for like 15 years. I would love to feel good naked, and not have such a struggle finding clothes and lingerie that fits nicely. I am pretty active and am looking for a result that won't interfere with moderate weightlifting, etc. My doctor, Dr. Erez Sternberg, and I have decided to go with Natrelle smooth full profile, between 310-345ccs, under the muscle and inserted in the breast crease. I will need two different size implants due to my left being slightly larger than my right. My only request of my doctor is to not make them too big and to not exaggerate any nipple wonkiness. I am aiming for a full C but would be okay with a small D. My dad is coming up to care for me for at least the first three days, and my son will be with his other grandparents during my early recovery.

I cannot express how happy I am that I chose PVPS for my first major cosmetic surgery. Dr. Sternberg gave me a mommy makeover and completely restored my self confidence. On top of being super knowledgeable, he is truly an artist at what he does; his bed side manner is professional yet comforting. Lisa, his RN, is an awesome compliment to him. She is with you throughout the entire process, always there when you need her. I am beyond impressed with my experience at PVPS. I love my new body and will never go anywhere else!

I cannot express how happy I am that I chose PVPS for my first major cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Hickman is the BEST and I would recommend her to anyone.

I’ve received excellent care and treatment from PVPS. In the past I had Dr.Burk. This time I’m using Dr.Hickman. All the staff there is great to work with and I always recommend PVPS.

Breast Augmentation with Dr. Hollie Hickman - I've known since is was an early teen that I wasn't going to be blessed with big boobs. I've always just been so scared of going under anesthesia, but after having two babies I knew it was time to get over my fear and just do it. I'm 5'2" and 115lbs, I barely fit 32A bras. I asked around about recommendations for a surgeon, as well as searched the internet. Dr. Hollie Hickman is whom I decided to go with. She's kind and compassionate, she listens to what you want, and her whole team of nurses are just incredibly sweet.

I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new plastic surgery office for my filler - Amy did a great job, I really liked her natural approach , I am very happy with the results

Best Dr in the business in Jax

Dr. Sternberg is the best! I will always recommend my friends and family and I will never choose another surgeon!

Dr. Sternberg was highly recommended to me for my desired surgery and I'm so happy with the result. He explained the surgery well during my consultation and answered all questions. I had great confidence in the team on the day of surgery. I spoke with Dr. Sternberg before surgery, in the OR and afterwards. There was not a long wait in the office for appointments; His staff was very personable and helpful. And I greatly appreciated the one-on-one relationship with his nurse.

Not only is this one of my personal, & all-time favorite practices for top results in plastic surgery, but it's genuinely also THE most incredible place for amazing doctors, a friendly staff, the best of the best products, and esthetic services, & simply second to none in our country. It's very hard to come by such an incredibly talented & professional group of doctors under one building. Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery is the place you go to, .... that no matter where you are in the USA; this is where you can put your full trust into your doctor's, staff's hands, and know, that without a doubt, you'll be cared for, and they will truly make you feel, and look absolutely beautiful.... always. This is the place you travel to, if you have to. It's as simple as that. It's all about results; and Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery will give you the perfect results; ... the results that also come with the most professional, caring, & wonderful staff, as well as the leading doctors in the country. Personally, I just have to say, "thank you," to Dr. Burk, as well as Dr. Sternberg, for all you have done for me, and my friends over the many years we have put our trust in you. We are incredibly grateful always. I will forever and always recommend you all for the best in plastics; not just in Florida, but, hands down, .... in the country.

Dr. Burk and his team are amazing. I was hesitant about plastic surgery, as I'd never had any before, but he and all of the nurses did an incredible job. They were beyond knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel very comfortable. The procedure was great and I am ecstatic with my results. From booking to post-op, Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery is remarkable.

I had my lips injected by Ashley and I am so happy with the outcome. She used a full syringe in my lips, in the body of the lips, so they look so much fuller. Ashley has an awesome personality and made the pain quick and manageable. I recommend her 100%!

Doctor Sternberg, Nurses and staff are amazing! I was in good care from start to finish. From the beginning, I was very comfortable with Dr. Sternberg. You can just tell from meeting him for the first time that he is very passionate about his work. He will take good care of you.

Always an excellent experience. I used to go to Connie and started with Sharon this last visit. Staff is always warm and professional. They are conservative with their treatments and I trust them immensely. They never push products and always advise to wait and see and come back for touch ups.

Commending the Amelia Island Office: Tiffany Minock - Patient Concierge -- outstanding with appointments; scheduling, payment -- and computer excellence with Brilliant Distinction points! Very welcoming, kind and extremely efficient and helpful! ! Commending Kim Lindsey, Aesthetician -- at the Amelia Island Office: Having a facial with Kim is an amazing experience. She is gifted -- her knowledge, touch and kindess are felt, as she tailors the facial to the patient's particular needs. She is a gem. Wish I could get a facial every day from Kim! Commending Amy Kadlubowski, Nurse Practicioner at the Amelia Island Office -- Amy is brilliant with her knowledge of the skin; and assessment of the patients' needs. She listens -- and spends time discussing the proper procedure; and is extremely skillful in her administration. No pain from Amy!

Listened to my fears and reassured me with their knowledge and experience. Very professional and clean!

#MommyTune-up - First-time cosmetic surgery patient; first-time surgery/anesthesia patient Period! My Dr. & staff met me at my level of experience, ignorance, & education regarding the procedure. This journey began with a dreams convo with the hubby & evolved to the results I’ll share in pictures. After hubby’s homework, we choose Dr. Sternberg of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery. We completed an initial consultation, received quotes for several options we were considering, & made a decision within the next week or so. I’ll credit our decisiveness to Dr. Sternberg’s professionalism, expertise AND my husband’s due diligence with researching doctor’s credentials, years of experience, etc. Reviews were considered as well, but we had to consider that results are based on the individual. Any reviews we found for our doctor was nothing but positive. So, we decided on a mommy makeover-Abdominoplasty with Liposuction and Breast Augmentation/Lift with Liposuction Surgeries. After the consult, I had pre-operative appointment to sign my life away (lol)-mostly medical awareness, precautions, & pre-/post-op instructions.The only significant preparations I made were adjusting my work schedule & sending my toddler to my in-laws. My husband & other children picked up the slack during my downtime. This is important to keep in mind; while this is elective in nature, it is still a REAL medical procedure that will require some alterations to your normal schedule. I also purchased post-op meds, stocked on water/Gatorade, & altered diet items (broth, soup, applesauce, jello).I dressed in what I would need to wear home post-surgery-a front-zipped-down mumu, a long-sleeved front-button-down nightgown, oversized jogging pants, fuzzy socks (to keep on during surgery), comfy slippers, a scarf, & beanie (it was freezing the day of and after).My surgery took a total of 6 hours, but I probably wasn’t fully aware that it was over until about 1 hr 15min later. I was so cold & shivering because naturally the temperature is very low in the surgery room. I was also a little disoriented from the anesthesia-I began talking myself through what I slowly began remembering was happening. I was also talking my self out of what I thought was hearing from a nearby patient to be death-talk. Again, it was from the anesthesia-the more I became aware, the less disoriented I was. Because of the complexity of my surgery, I was an overnight stay but successfully discharged the next morning. The entire experience was very personal, seamless, and discreet. 5 weeks, 4 post-op visits later & I’m healing well and cleared to return to normal activities. My abs are still not 100% cleared (this is usually an 8-week healing process, per Dr.). Otherwise, I’m returning to as much normalcy with minimum aches and NO complications. I’d recommend Dr. Sternberg hands-down!

I have wanted to have my neck lifted for some time and they made it easy and affordable to do. The skill of the doctor and the courtesy and kindness of the staff was remarkable and much appreciated. I am very happy with the results.

I’ve always been seen promptly and with professionalism and kindness by Dr Sternberg and his staff. My sx was a success and without complications and the result was exemplary.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the best place in town!

I love this place it has a very very talented team of doctors. Plus you are made comfortable once you enter the door. It has a beautiful Mediterranean aesthetic setting inside and the doctors and team are very very good at their profession. The coolest thing is for whatever you want done there is a specific Doctor Who specializes in a specific area. Rhinoplasty to Breast Implants. They really do have it all here. (Random but after they perfectly adjusted my face (in which the results I am so happy with) I also wanted to adjust my living room to match the inside of their building lol)

I’m very pleased with Dr Sternberger. He takes time to explain everything in simple terms and listens to me and considers all my concerns. I will definitely seek him out should i need any other procedures.

I saw Amy Kadlubowski for my first Botox visit and she was amazing! I was nervous since it was my first time doing botox. She was understanding and reassured me that she would only give me as much as I needed and felt comfortable with. I am super happy with the results! I will most defiantly be back to see her.

As always, Claudette Walker provided excellent care utilizing the utmost professionalism.

It is always a pleasure to visit your Amelia Island office! The ladies are the best professionals (I have the skin to prove it!). They always make you feel very special and they are extremely friendly and fun!!

From office staff to medical professionals, the appointments were on time, thorough & accommodating. Dr Burk was great, I love the care taken & the result was what I was looking for.

Dr. Burke is an asset here. He gave me my first and only nose job, which can be traumatic. He listened to what I wanted and was not drastic. It’s taken a lot of getting used to, but I have to say I’m more confident now. I wish him the best and appreciate his help.

I was very pleased with my experience! Sharon was friendly, explained all treatments in great detail, my treatment was cryo for some face spots and they are almost gone now. I'll definitely return for more.

I have been coming here since I moved to Jacksonville, about 4 years ago, and I absolutely love this place! I have had breast implants and I love them. The whole process from my consultation to my follow up visits was beyond impressive and relaxing . I have continuously received botox and have just began doing lip filler. All I can say is that all the offices are beautiful, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. Everyone from the front desk, nurses, accountant, doctors, and anyone else I’m missing, are all absolutely amazing and really take the time to listen to your needs, ideas, fears while giving great advice not only to get you where you’d like to be but also help you understand that all bodies are completely different and may need different techniques! I came from South Florida and Ponte Vedra has blown away all my expectations!!!! All around the board 5 + stars!

Ashley Michaux is terrific! I have been using her services for over 5 years, and she has been the most skillful of practitioners I have had the pleasure of knowing.

Dr. Sternberg and his team are simply amazing. I wouldn't trust my health or my husband's health to anyone else! Both of us have patients with them for years. We're so thankful to have great medical care like this in our community!

Wonderful experience, fast and painless, great and friendly staff.

Successful treatment every visit, charming & helpful staff, lovely office

I had a breast augmentation and lift with Dr. Sternberg in June 2019 and I’m absolutely in love with it! He did amazing work and answered any and every question I had and made me feel very comfortable. I never loved my body fully but I do now and I recommend him to anyone who ask me!

I recently had a neck and mini face lift at PVPS. Dr. Burk was highly recommend by a friend. From the moment I first met him, I felt at ease and confident. At no point in time did I feel pressured do more, in fact, Dr. Burk recommended exactly what I needed to achieve the results I desired. Nurse Carol was a pleasure and answered every question and addressed every concern at my pre op. I was apprehensive and nervous the day of the surgery, but everyone who met with me eased my anxiety with kindness and understanding. I really want to call out my anesthesiologist, Dr. Jimenez. I believe that was his name, but I do remember he was from Costa Rico. He spent extra time explaining the process, never rushed me and addressed a personal concern of mine. Post Op treatment was excellent and the nurses were professional and kind. I’m at day 11 in my recovery and extremely pleased with my results. I, too, recommend Dr. Burk and his team. They are the best!

Every visit, every surgery has been beyond comfortable. The entire staff is wonderful but especially Dr Brett Snyder. I couldn’t have gone through all this without him.

Everyone at this office were very professional, kind, right on time and caring. They were the right choice for this procedure!!! Dr. Sternberg and his nurse Lisa were very attentive and everyone checking me in were awesome!!

After careful research, I contacted Alison Kuzoian to get micro-blading done on my brows. She was very professional, attentive to my requests and did an amazing job on my brows. Overall, very pleased with PVPS staff and especially Alison. Went to my initial appointment, 6-week touch up which was included in the treatment and going back in about a year for the follow up. Thank you.

Incredible experience from the moment I walked in and spoke with Tiffany. She is so knowledgable and customer focus. Amy, the APRN, is totally focused on her art and I would highly recommend. Like they say we all, "get by with a little help from friends." This is definitely the case at the Amelia Island office- personal, private, and professional.

Patient, cordial, down to earth.... Fantastic 😁

Dr. Burk is hands down North Florida's best plastic surgeon. He is extremely talented as a plastic surgeon and has fabulous bedside manner. I had 2 different consultation appointments with him before I decided to book. Neither appointment did I feel rushed or pressured. I respect the fact that he told me what would be best for me not just what I wanted to hear. He is very kind to his staff and I enjoy the atmosphere. He spoke to my husband before the surgery and let him know that everything went well after. I am very confident that if you choose Dr Burk for any of your plastic surgery needs you will be making a wonderful decision. I am still recovering from my surgery. Dr. Burk genuinely cares for his patients I felt safe in his care and all thr professionals that assists him. I feel very comfortable calling Mrs Carol or Dr. Burk himself if I had any concerns. My results already look incredible I couldn't be happier. Thank you DR. BURK you Rock

Dr. Sternberg Rocks!!!!!! If u ladies out there need a little touch up or in my case needed a complete redo Dr. Sternberg is the Best!!!!! Very satisfied💕💕💕

Amy is excellent with botox injections!

Dr. Sternberg Rocks!!!!!! If u ladies out there need a little touch up or in my case needed a complete redo Dr. Sternberg is the Best!!!!! Very satisfied💕💕💕

The entire staff was absolutely amazing!! From the moment you are greeted by the front office staff to the moment you leave you will have a truly exceptional experience. Dr Burk and his nurse Carol went far above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and answered my countless questions! Thank you!!

Wonderful team! Thank you for always being available and making our experiences always warm.

Before I chose Dr. Snyder, I met with four local surgeons but didn't feel comfortable enough to move ahead with any of them. The afternoon of my consult with Dr. Snyder, I booked my preop and surgery date before I left the office. During the consultation, I decided he was the one I could trust with my face. I made the right choice. I am now 1 month post surgery. I have had a very positive experience throughout the process. The first handfull of days were not fun. However, I was feeling very good within a week. I had barely any bruising at all and my swelling was minimal. I was shocked !! and thrilled, and so were people who saw me just 1 week post op. I believed it was going to take weeks before I could go out in public and resume my life and it didn't. He is a gifted surgeon and we a fortunate to have him in our area.

Dr. Sternberg and his staff were a blessing! I went in for a breast reduction and the treatment and care I received were awesome. I was put at ease and all my questions were answered. The results are amazing, I feel like a new person.

Amelia Island Office is very clean and organized, ASK FOR AMY!! She will not over sell any products and gentle touch and explains procedures. She goes above and beyond and you can tell she loves her job!!

I adore Claudette and would trust no one else to do my fillers and botox. Her expertise and gentle touch is exceptional!! I Highly recommend PVPS.

Everyone is very friendly and professional. Great care and follow-up. I would highly recommend!

Kim was wonderful!! I had a hydrafacial. With her advice and recommendations on skin care my face feels and looks 20 years younger!! Thank you Kim!!

Amy was just the best. Kylene was great

Amy was just the best. Kylene was great

Wow! What a great experience! The staff is so professional and caring. Dr. Burk and the anesthesiologists were outstanding! Thank you for making me more beautiful!

I would highly recommend Dr. Rumsey III and the team at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery.

I recently moved to the area and was apprehensive about finding a new injector- lucky for me I found PVPS. From the moment I got there they were open about units/pricing(which was competitive and fair) as well as answering my questions honestly and not in a way that felt sales-like. I completely trust the staff at PVPS with my face!

Amy was just the best. Kylene was great

I love this place. All the staff is wonderful. Love Beth and Melissa.. Dr. Rumesy is the best ever. I was very comfortable with him and he does amazing work.

Sharon always provides excellent patient care.

I first consulted with PVPS in 2008 and have been very pleased with their services.
