Our Reviews
"I recently got a tummy tuck done with Dr. Sternberg and could not be more happy with the results!!After reading reviews at other places, I went with him due to his stellar record, and he did not disappoint! ❤️I saw very mixed reviews at other clinics.. For a major surgery, it is worth saving up and getting it done right. I am thrilled with my results, he does amazing bellybuttons!I would recommend Dr. Sternberg to anyone. He is extremely competent, thoughtful, and kind!I will add photos when I’m farther out to show results :)"
"Dr. Sternberg gave me back my confidence. After countless stomach surgeries that left me with many scars, I never thought I’d feel this good about myself again. The way I feel now is truly priceless, and it’s all because Dr. Sternberg took the time to truly listen, care, and help me. I’m forever grateful."
"Kimberly is amazing! I trust her implicitly and I pretty much let her do whatever she wants. Just had my first BBL with Halo for my face and neck, loving the results so far! She did a great job setting my expectations and was spot on in my recovery."
"Working on scar treatment, would highly reccomend!"
"Entire team at PVPS are kind, caring and professional. I had an abdominoplasty with Dr. Sternberg and I am so happy with my results and I am only a week and a half post op, healing well and no complications. The nursing staff is wonderful and I had the best experience. My husband and I saved for a whole year for me to be able to have this surgery to fix a diastasis recti after having twins so I didn’t feel like I was their “typical” clientele going into it but I was very wrong, they are just great."
"I couldn't be happier with my results! After my full mommy makeover, I feel like a new person. I am absolutely obsessed with my belly button!! It's perfect! Thank you so much, Dr. Bates and the whole PVPS team for giving me back my confidence and helping me love my body again. Your skill and care truly made all the difference. Highly recommend!"
"I had a mommy makeover surgery with Dr. Sternburg and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Dr. Sternburg did an amazing job; I am very pleased with the results and the care I received. The staff was also wonderful, especially Lisa, the nurse, who was incredibly helpful and sweet. She made the whole process feel much less scary and was always there to answer my questions. The anesthesiologist also did a fantastic job, making sure I was comfortable and well taken care of throughout. Highly recommend this team for anyone considering elective surgery!"
"Dr Bates and the office staff are great. Everyone is very friendly.He did liposuction, fat grafting and renuvion on me and so far so good. No complications.I would recommend."

"Every single person in this group has been kind and attentive. Dr Christopher Bates has done an amazing Mommy Makeover for me. I am only 3 weeks post op and love every aspect of this huge transition. I cannot even properly convey how thrilled and life changing this has been for me emotionally and physically. Very highly recommend this group and especially Dr Bates."
"After much research I went with PVPS to do a mommy makeover, something I never thought I would ever do. I struggled for years with low self esteem before and after kids and weight gain/loss. After finally losing weight after my kids I looked at my self and was tired of being depressed about my body. So I had the wonderful staff at PVPS put me back to the way I was and let me tell everyone, it was worth every penny just to look and feel comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my entire life. From the very first call I made to their staff down to my most current appointment I have had nothing but wonderful interactions and experiences with every single staff member. You can tell they care. Yes you are paying them but they are honest about everything and want the best for you! They are like cheerleaders for you. I wish I could remember all the names of the staff I have met but Dr. Mitchell did an outstanding job with my mommy makeover, Brittany Cherry is his coordinator and is such a sweetheart ,considerate of you, and very easy to talk to. Kristen Murphy is the nurse for Dr. Mitchell and is just as amazing and helpful. She answered my every question after my surgery with little downtime/wait. Dr. Mitchell took my call when I had an urgent question very near Christmas. They are all so calm and patient. They are truly wonderful people who want to help others. I thank each and every one of them for helping to give me love back to myself. Dr. Mitchell was so detail oriented with my procedure that I went in feeling prepared. If you are thinking about doing anything cosmetic please consider everyone here at PVPS, they never once pressured me and are up front about cost right after the consultation. The consultation fee was $100 but makes you a lifetime patient with them. Thank you PVPS staff/family!"
"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Sternberg. Once we started talking I knew I made the right choice in picking him. He made me feel incredibly comfortable. Especially about things I’m self conscious about. I went into the consult with 3 surgeries in mind. He was honest about what he thought I needed and surgeries I did not need. . He was candid, explained both procedures, recovery time, what results would be. Lisa (his nurse) who I met for pre op and was with me the morning of my procedure was wonderful. Surgery day went smooth well! Everyone on the operating team was kind and answered any questions I had. Ultimately I went with abdominal/hip liposuction over a tummy tuck. I could not be happier and I’m only 4 weeks post op."
"I had the most incredible experience with Dr. Sternberg at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery! From the very first consultation, he was kind, realistic, and refreshingly honest. He listened closely to what I wanted and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. His approach wasn’t about overselling procedures — in fact, he joked that I should just do squats instead of getting liposuction! That kind of candid, down-to-earth advice is rare and much appreciated. When it came to my breast implants, Dr. Sternberg did exactly what I asked for. He gave me a result that was natural and proportionate — making me feel like the best version of myself. He never pushed for anything excessive or unnatural, and I’m so thankful for that. He truly understands how to enhance your features in a way that feels right for you. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Sternberg and his team more. If you’re looking for a realistic, compassionate, and incredibly skilled surgeon, he’s the one to see!!"

"Incredible experience and results from Erez Sternberg, MD. His attention to detail, precision, and ability to deliver exceptional results for his patients is truly impressive. I had a mommy makeover after having three children via c-section. I was left with loose skin that diet/exercise could not fix..no matter how hard I tried. Pre-surgery my body was in the best shape that it could be..so I went in for a consult with Erez Sternberg, MD and knew that I didn’t need to look any further. He was confident that he could not only meet, but exceeded my expectations, and honestly was a perfect match for me as a surgeon. If you want to look your best, feel more confident, and have done the best you can do to get back into great shape, look no further than Erez Sternberg at PVPS."
"Ponte Vedra plastic surgeons is amazing! Everyone & I mean everyone is so nice & super approachable. I’ve had a mommy makeover with Dr. Hickman. She’s my favorite gal. She did phenomenal work & I couldn’t be more pleased. Mary did my facial & she’s also really sweet & did a great job with my facial. I will only go to Ponte Vedra plastic surgeons for any cosmetic anything. I love this place & their staff!!"
"In April I made a huge change. Something I wanted not only physically but needed mentally. I met Dr Hancock and felt understood and she was the woman to make this dream happen! I had an abdominal muscle repair, tummy tuck with a monsplasty. I am so happy even 5 months post op! Nurse Lindsay was amazing as well they both made me feel so comfortable leading up to the day and even now months after. The recovery nurses were amazing and encouraging and were there for all my questions. I have personally had another experience at another surgical company and the way that I was treated at this one was as if I was family. They are available for any questions or concerns that I have through my recovery time. I recommend Dr. Hancock to anyone and everyone I know. She is patient, knowledgeable, and is a master with stitching! There are parts my scar where you cannot tell, I even had surgery. And again, I’m five months out! Thank you, Dr. Hancock for taking such good care of me and I will be using you for all future procedures!"

"I absolutely love PVPS!! Dr. Bates performed an amazing tummy tuck for me and I’m so happy with the results! Rosie was incredible throughout the entire experience and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and answer all my questions!! I also receive Botox, Filler and Lasers with Kristen Dixon and she does a fabulous job!! She is knowledgable, thorough and makes it as pain free as possible!! Sarah Porter is also a gem of a human- helping me make appointments, answering all my questions and assuring my needs are prioritized. Lastly, Katy Hickox is amazing for my facials and derma planning needs- she’s gentle, knowledgeable and kind!! My confidence is soaring with the help of PVPS!!!"
"I went to my consultation with Dr. Hancock in May/June 2022. She was very nice and very informative on what she could offer me. She never tried to push anything else on me she listened to my concerns and I actually put my deposit down the same day. The staff at the office is absolutely amazing! When I had questions they always answered without hesitation, even my emails had a prompt response. I did get an abdominoplasty with liposuction! I’m still in love with my results! I would recommend Dr. Hancock and her team to anyone looking to get plastic surgery!"

"I’m one year post op and I’m so happy with my tummy tuck results from Dr Hickman. She was warm, positive and kept me at ease. I highly recommend this place and Dr. Hickman as your surgeon. The staff was also very warm and professional."
"Having undergone a transformative procedure with Dr. Hancock on April 5th, I can't express enough how grateful I am for choosing her and PVPS. Five weeks into my recovery from a breast reduction and liposuction, I feel like a new person in my body. Dr. Hancock's warmth, expertise, and genuine care not only reassured me but also empowered me throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the day of surgery and beyond, she made sure I felt comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. Dr. Hancock is more than just a skilled surgeon; she's a beacon of compassion and understanding in the world of healthcare. Her gentle demeanor and unwavering support make her not just a doctor, but someone guiding you through a transformative journey. I felt extremely frightened, especially considering I was only 20 and facing such an invasive procedure but her expertise and genuine care, Dr. Hancock doesn't just change bodies; she changes lives. I also want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Lindsay, her nurse, who patiently addressed my countless questions and concerns with such kindness and professionalism. Moreover, the entire staff at PVPS played a crucial role in making this journey so positive and life-changing. To Dr. Hancock, Lindsay, and everyone at PVPS, thank you for not only enhancing my physical well-being but also for giving me a newfound confidence and joy in life. You've truly made a difference, and I'm forever grateful💗(100 out of 5 stars if I could)"

"I can’t thank Dr. Ellen Hancock enough for the wonderful job she did with my breast reduction and tummy tuck with lipo. It’s so amazing to see the results from the before and after photos. This was the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr Ellen Hancock explained everything in detail that she was going to do. Also the staff at PVPS were so helpful with any questions I had! I will be back for sure! Thanks again for everything!!!!"

"Wow I really can’t say enough about the professionalism of this facility. I had pretty major work done FDL tummy tuck from losing 271 lbs. I did have a bleeding complication and they were right in top of it the whole staff there made me feel welcome and well taken care of. All the check up calls on Thanksgiving and check ins from the Surgeon we’re amazing. Again I strongly recommend Dr. Rumsey. So happy."
"SO Happy I Chose Dr. Hickman! - 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!"
"Dr. Christopher Bates and his nurse Rosie Silva are the absolute best! From my first consultation through each follow-up appointment following my tummy tuck and liposuction surgery, they have made me feel like I was their only patient. Their professionalism and concern for how I was feeling following my surgery and the time they spent listening to me is something I've never encountered before in the healthcare industry. Anytime a call was made to the office with questions, I would receive an immediate phone call from Dr. Bates. I so appreciate Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery and each staff member I encountered treated me with such respect. To be honest, I love this practice and I share my experience when talking about my surgery with my family and friends. It's my honor to recommend Dr. Bates to anyone looking into having plastic surgery. You know, plastic surgery really isn't what they do...caring and concern for their patients, that's what they do!!!Debbie Jackson"

"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!"
"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!"
"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!"
"It’s my time - I have two beautiful children who stretched me beyond belief while pregnant with them. I’m 5’1 pre-baby body I weighed 115 lbs. After my first child I topped the scale at 186 lbs. and after I had my second child I vowed I’d work hard, clean up my diet and lose the weight. I obsessively worked myself down to 107 lbs but now comfortably at 130 lbs. I’m happy at my weight but my stomach and stretch marks make me feel self conscious, unattractive and overall ugly. I’m finally at a point in my life where I’m physically, mentally, and financially ready to take on a major surgery. I did my homework and interviewed many doctors before I found the one who I feel is the best fit for me. I’ve scheduled my mommy makeover (abdominoplasty w/muscle repair, mastopexy w/o implants, and lipo to the hips,) with Dr. Cayce Rumsey at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery. He made me feel comfortable, treated me like family and gave me his expert opinion. I went in considering adding implants but he advised against it because of my body’s natural shape and amount of tissue I already have; it just wouldn’t look right over time and I wouldn’t be happy. Which would possibly lead to another surgery down the road. I loved that he kept it real. All the other doctors I spoke with wanted me to do it and didn’t really care about anything I said in the room. Dr. Rumsey and his staff listened to me and I’m sure are going to give me the best treatment and outcome I could ever hope for. I also love the fact that no matter what, I can call and talk to either Beth or Melissa. They are there to answer all of my silly or in depth questions. I’m 4 weeks out from my post op appointment and I’ll update my journey as I go. Wish me luck!!Updated on 15 Apr 2019:My beautifully stretched out mom stomach now sits a little off center. Muscles could use some reinforcements... Utters used to feed my youngins needs some lifting to help stand at attention once again. Liposuction on my love handles because, why not?"

"Lower body lift after weight loss - After losing 170 lbs I was really gifted at hiding all the skin. If you see my gastric sleeve review you’ll see what I mean. I wore compression work out clothes and compression garments under my street/work clothes everyday. Everyday. I was a size four with skin tucked away everywhere. I even looked ok in a “tankini”, but after working 4 years to lose and maintain my goal weight I wanted more. I wanted to not wear layers of clothes in hot humid summers in Florida. Imagine rushing to a bathroom in the heat peeling off CGs then trying to get them back up?? I most likely burned more calories in a day fighting my CG than I did running!! ????. So this was the next step in my journey. I want live a normal life. I started with a lower body lift or circumferential abdominoplasty. The doc pulls skin down in the front then up on the sides and back/bottom. I’ll share this journey and hope to move on to an arm lift as a final. I am 4 weeks post op today."
"Life Changing Experience - After losing 180 lbs through diet and exercise, I was left with ugly sagging skin all over my body. I was referred to Dr. Sternberg by my primary physician. What a wonderful experience it was over a two year journey to correct everything that I wanted resolved. Through multiple surgeries, Dr. Sternberg performed a Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck, Brachioplasty, Circumferential Thigh Lift, Breast Lift with augmentation, Medial Thigh Lift and a Face Lift. Each surgery was a success with no complications. Dr. Sternberg and his staff answered all of my questions, and followed up with me after each procedure. I could not be happier with the results that were achieved. Dr. Sternberg surpassed all of my expectations. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, but he demonstrates great compassion and listens to what you want and then makes it happen. I am so thankful that my primary referred me to Dr. Sternberg. Overall, a life changing experience. Thank you! You are the best!!"
"Liposuction and unilateral labiaplasty. - I have decided to have liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, bra area, and outer thighs. I actually decided to add this procedure to my original decision to have a labiaplasty. One side of my inner labia has always been slightly larger than the other. This constantly bothers me and I have finally decided to do something about it. I also have a general dislike of my stomach. So I decided while I’m under for the labia plasty I might as well go ahead and have my problem areas taken care of as well. I decided to go with Dr Sternberg, as he did my breast implant exchange and lift. I love my breasts and trust he will do amazing with the rest of my body as well. I will update with before pictures soon.Updated on 26 Apr 2018:My surgery was on Monday April 23. So I am not sure if I am 3 or 4 days post op. Have had a few ups and downs. But overall I think it is going well. My friend came over and stayed with me the first night. So I had my husband here and my friend here 24/7 for about two days, Helping me with anything I needed. Lots of swelling, and bruising. But not the worst thing I have been through. I had a weird sensation in my leg and my Dr thought it may be a dvt forming, so I did go to the emergency room, and everything was fine. They believed the sensation in my leg was from the garment I have to wear. I am super swollen, but even with the swelling I can see a difference already. I cannot wait to see the final results. Attached are pics from the day before and then today. Updated on 1 May 2018:Went today for my 1 week post op appointment. Everything is going perfectly and Dr Sternberg said everything looks great. Still have some bruising and swelling as anticipated, but I am feeling better every day. My body shape is looking so perfect. My labiaplasty has come out amazing. I figured it would be somewhat symmetrical, but it is exactly the same. Amazing! Couldn’t be happier with his quality of work. He is an artist. And I would say no other plastic surgeon rivals him! He’s great. "
"Liposuction and unilateral labiaplasty. - I have decided to have liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, bra area, and outer thighs. I actually decided to add this procedure to my original decision to have a labiaplasty. One side of my inner labia has always been slightly larger than the other. This constantly bothers me and I have finally decided to do something about it. I also have a general dislike of my stomach. So I decided while I’m under for the labia plasty I might as well go ahead and have my problem areas taken care of as well. I decided to go with Dr Sternberg, as he did my breast implant exchange and lift. I love my breasts and trust he will do amazing with the rest of my body as well. I will update with before pictures soon."
"I initially chose Dr. Erez Sternberg for my breast reduction/lift and tummy tuck procedures because he is double certified in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery. But after my consultation with Dr. Sternberg and his staff, I knew my choice was absolutely correct. Not only did he offer advice on what procedures would help my issues, he also asked my opinion on what I wanted, how I wanted to look afterward. I knew my expectations were real, I knew I would never be a size 4 again. I just wanted to wear clothes that fit. He did not push additional procedures, only what I needed to solve my issues. My surgery was a pleasant surprise. No extensive pain and very manageable. I followed the staff suggestions, did nothing for 2 weeks and recovered much quicker than I thought. After 6 weeks, I feel great. Scarring is minimal, especially in the beast area. The pain in my shoulders is no more. My posture is much better and sleeping is a nightly treat. Six weeks of recovery time is well worth the result. Would do it again, ABSOLUTELY! My sincere thanks to Dr. Sternberg and the entire staff of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery."
"I had Dr. C. Cayce Rumsey III & Register Nurse Melissa Fraley for my mommy makeover. They both made me feel like I was apart of there family. They were EXTREMELY professional, not pushy, and most importantly they calmed by nerves. I was checked on throughout the ENTIRE process and this is a huge piece of mind when picking a plastic surgeon. Melissa made me laugh EVERY time I saw her and I do miss seeing her! I had three kids and I am VERY VERY pleased with the outcome. I went to 5 other Doctors before I decided on PVPS. What I love about DR Rumsey is the fact if you are wanting something done and he thinks you don't need it, he wont take your money and do it. He REALLY stands behind his work!!! Please do your research before you decide on a mommy makeover. Thank you Dr. Rumsey & Melissa Fraley for everything."
"Can't possibly put into words all that I gained and reclaimed in my life thanks to PVPS and Dr Scoisca. I am a more confident version of myself. I found that my care began weeks before my procedures took place through emotional support and a proactive approach to healing via supplements. The staff was caring and compassionate during my consultation, surgery and post op experience. I am thankful I did this for myself and would not hesitate to recommend PVPS. (Rhinoplasty, breast lift and mini tummy tuck)"

"No More Hanging Skin over my Beautiful Eyes! - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - Everything was perfect! I chose Dr. Scioscia at the recommendation of a friend. - - I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone who wishes to take 10 years off their age! It looks and feels so natural that no one actually guessed that I had cosmetic surgery. I wish I had done it earlier. When I went to see Dr. Scioscia I thought I needed more than the upper lids done but he didn't think so. I also had some liposuction done under my chin as well as some erbium laser on the lower part of my face. Thanks Dr. Scioscia!"
