"I've been seeing Shannon for hydra facials every 3 months for the last 2 years. She's the best. Highly recommend PVPS."
"Katy has the most gentle touch when it comes to to hydra facials. She is very knowledge with products that PVPS offers and is always willing to discuss treatment options available. I highly recommend her for your first visit or returning visit."
"At 51 years old, I decided to finally have a breast reduction. When I hit menopause, they just started to grow again and my body could no longer handle the weight of them, the back pain and constant headaches.The only expectation I honestly had was that I would have smaller breast afterwards. And hopefully I wouldn’t have horrific scarring. From the moment I met Dr. Hancock and her team until now it has been an amazing experience. She has a very fun, with a lively personality, which draws you in. Thrilled honestly is not even the best way to describe how I feel about my breast! They’re beautiful, I mean, absolutely beautiful. I talk about them to anyone who will listen to me (lol) I will definitely be a return patient because I completely trust her to now help me make a few other modifications"
"So amazing! The PVPS team is awesome!From the receptionistTeresa to the double Kims and Kylene ! I am so happy!"

"My breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Mitchell and his staff at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I entered the facility the interaction was amazing. The entire team was friendly, engaging and professional. They ensured I was well informed on what to expect after the surgery and answered every question I had. Dr. Mitchell is an honest and knowledgeable surgeon, he guided in me in the right direction to ensure the best outcome for my breast augmentation surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Mitchell and Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery as your FIRST choice. The entire staff is top notch!"
"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."
"A+! From the first phone call, everyone at PVPS has been wonderful. A real person answers the phone, with a smile in their voice! Jennifer Thurman- Olivieri has the best 'bedside manner', patiently answers questions, provides honest opinions and advice. Her assistants are so pleasant. Special mention to Sonia who provides helpful advice to schedule what you need and want; to Mary for the first facial that didn't aggravate my sensitive skin; and to Kayla- great smile, great assistant. Honestly, we don't remember everyone's name, but we have never been disappointed. Thank you PVPS!"

"Dr Hancock & her team are amazing! From my first initial consultation to post op & beyond I am incredibly thankful for PVPS. The front office staff, nurses, Dr Hancock & Nurse Lindsay are excellent.

"Love seeing Kim Gibbs for Dysport to create symmetry on my face! She has the perfect, light, artistic touch, and I am always pleased with the results. She is by far the most educated, experienced, and knowledgeable injector I’ve ever met in the two decades I’ve been seeking these services. Also, the office is beautiful, and all the staff are so lovely. I always look forward to my visits at PVPS."
"Love PVPS!!"
"I had a fabulous hydrofacial with Michelle at PVPS- Saint Johns location! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Michelle is warm, and makes you feel relaxed instantly! I appreciated how she explained each step of the facial as well. I was impressed with the instant results! I will definitely be back! I highly recommend PVPS for your skincare needs!"
"Absolutely love going to PVPS Amelia island. Kimberly Black Gibbs is phenomenal and always makes me feel so comfortable! She does Botox better than anyone I’ve ever gone to. The whole office staff is very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend!"
"I had been wanting to try lip filler for years, and finally decided to go with PVPS. Kristen was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions and address my concerns. She made sure my experience was as painless as possible and I am so happy with my results! Thank you Kristen!!"
"I’ve been coming to PVPS and see Nurse Practitioner, Deleah Pickler for Botox, fillers, laser treatments, and other aesthetic services, and I can confidently say it’s the best decision I’ve made for my skincare and overall confidence! The staff is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. They take the time to understand my goals and customize treatments to ensure natural, beautiful results. The clinic is clean, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, giving me peace of mind that I’m receiving top-quality care. I always leave feeling refreshed and looking my best—never overdone, just a more radiant version of myself. I highly recommend PVPS to anyone looking for expert cosmetic treatments in a comfortable and professional environment!"
"Everyone at PVPS Fernandina Beach is so down to earth and helpful! I really feel like we are collaborating when I’m there - like they truly want me to look my best. There is no pressure to do “too much.” Instead the ladies there really listen to what your goals are. A special shout out to Kimberly who beats everyone I’ve ever been to in Atlanta for Botox!"
"The nurse (Taylor) that took care of me the night after my surgery was AMAZING. She made all the difference and was very patient with me. The total experience so far has been great. Dr. Bates and Rosalie bring me peace knowing that they are competent. Beth the patient coordinator was patient with me too drafting multiple quotes based on my options. I could have gone through insurance elsewhere but I have zero regrets with spending the extra money to get it done right with a good team."
"The team at PVPS is the best in class. I had a seamless experience with Dr. Sternberg & his team including Lisa his nurse and Bri his patient care coordinator. All staff members are so sweet! I also go to Kristen for my injectables, she is incredible. The expertise at PVPS is unmatched and is my one stop shop for any aesthetic need!"
"This office is so wonderful 10/10 recommend! Kylene is an amazing aesthetician & is so intentional with my skincare treatments. I appreciate how much attention she gives to me during our regular visits. She’s been helping with my major skin concerns for over a year now and she’s such an important part of my skincare routine. The staff is so professional & thoughtful. My skin has never looked better and I’m so thankful for Kylene & the team!"
"Best first time experience ever! Start to fishing was flawless, and results are amazing. From the first phone call to the last check-in, so much care has been received from Dr. Sternberg and his team. Thank you PVPS."
"I’ve been a client at PVPS for over 8 years. I receive services at their Nocatee office. I’ve spoken to Sharon Prince several times about the age spots on my face among other things. She suggested a BBL . I first received a hydro facial on Monday & today was the BBL. I trust Sharon immensely. She also does my Botox injections. She made me feel very comfortable this morning, explaining the entire process before administering the BBL and want I would do moving forward. I can’t thank her enough. I would go to no one else. Sharon is the best."
"Katelyn Oldenburg is just wonderful. A few weeks ago I had dysport in my forehead and around my eyes, as well as filler in the cheeks and chin areas. The staff is second to none, the environment is lovely, and I am thrilled with my results. I am getting so many compliments on my appearance. Katelyn is always so professional and caring. She is an expert in the field and takes her time while treating me. I never feel rushed and she is very clear about aftercare and expectations. Most importantly, I completely trust her care. I have found PVPS to be the best practice I have encountered and will happily recommend it, as well as my provider Katelyn, to friends and family."
"I can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Hancock and the entire team at PVPS. After 5 years of consulting with various surgeons, I was finally confident I had found the right one when I met Dr. Hancock. From my very first consultation, I knew she was the perfect fit for me. Her professionalism and expertise were immediately apparent, and I felt completely at ease in her care. The entire process—from the initial phone call to the post-op follow-ups—was handled with exceptional professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being. The staff, from the nurses to the anesthesiologist, were all incredibly kind and attentive. They made me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. The facilities at PVPS are top-notch. I visited three of their locations, and each one was clean, welcoming, and pleasant. The surgical center itself was not your typical clinical environment—it was cozy and thoughtfully designed, making the whole experience much more relaxed than I had anticipated. Dr. Hancock is truly a master of her craft, and the nursing staff is second to none. If you're considering plastic surgery, I highly recommend PVPS. I couldn’t be happier with my decision and results!"
"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!!"
"Received my breast reduction last November and extremely pleased with my results. Dr. Mitchell and his team were the best"
"From making an appointment to post op visits, my experience was Exceptional! Everyone from Dr. Mitchell, to his team, and staff were attentive, professional, personable, and expert. I was very well cared for throughout the entire process and am so grateful to Dr. Mitchell and his team for the results of my surgery."

"My first ever Botox experience was at the Annex location with advanced practice provider, Katelyn Oldenburg, and she made me feel so comfortable. She was patient, kind, wonderful to talk with and I am so thankful I choose to get my treatment here at PVPS! I highly recommend them!"
"I have been to PVPS for various procedures and had the pleasure of working with Dr. Hickman and Dr. Sternberg. Both doctors were FANTASTIC! The results surpassed my expectations, and I have never felt so confident in my skin. Both doctors, their teams, and the entire PVPS staff are incredible. As someone who doesn’t typically handle surgeries well, they made sure I was at ease from the initial consultation through to the post-surgery period. One procedure required an overnight stay, and I didn’t want to leave the following day! The sweetest overnight nurses ensured I was always comfortable and in little to no pain. I highly recommend Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery's talented doctors and excellent staff!"
"I have went to PVPS in the past and had a great experience this was my second time going and it was awesome. Dr. Hickman is a HEAVEN sent surgeon and person! I trust her completely. Her team is so friendly from all the Front Desk, Nurses and Anesthesiologist! I recommend them to everyone. I will only come here because they make me feel comfortable and confident when choosing somewhere for surgery. Thanks a lot PVPS!"
"STUNNING RESULTS!! I just completed the HALO facial laser treatment with Sharon and Katelyn at the Gate Parkway location. The team was absolutely amazing in every way. The providers were well-versed on HALO as well as what the best plan of attack was in order to obtain my goals. The process was seamless, and the follow-up care was beyond my expectations. I highly suggest giving it a try! You will LOVE the results."
"Katy is absolutely wonderful! I just had a hydrofacial with some amazing serums and my skin was glowing. I haven’t been in for about 1 year and Katy took extra time to discuss and update my skincare plan. I highly recommend Katy and PVPS."
"Outstanding. Dr Bates and team were fantastic. Beth on the planning and administration side was equally great!"
"I was very impressed with the staff at PVPS. Everyone was very friendly and efficient. I had a facelift performed by Dr. Bates. I have been so happy with my results. Dr. Bates listened to my concerns and offered his professional opinion. My results were so natural but made such a difference. I feel the results were exactly what I wanted to achieve. I would highly recommend Dr. Bates if you are considering a facelift. My experience with PVPS was wonderful!"
"The decision I made to have a breast reduction was obviously a very serious one. It would be unusual if anyone ever said that was a choice that was easy to make. But I’ve been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for a very long time, and I finally made the decision to go forward with it. I cannot express in words how happy I am with Dr. Bates, his surgical team, the nursing team and the staff at Ponte Vedra plastics. Here is a list of why: 1. The decision to have the surgery was not for cosmetic reasons, and they understood that. I felt like every single person genuinely cared for my emotional state of health, my mental state of health and my physical well-being. 2. The results so far have been fantastic. The healing is going very smoothly and quickly. Some people go into the surgery and they offer what they call wish photos, which is what they desire to look like when the surgery is complete. I did not do this. I simply told Dr. Bates please make me look proportionate - that is all I desire. Dr. Bates is the consummate professional and his talent and skill are apparent, because he was able to give me exactly that. 3. The environment of Ponte Vedra plastics is very serene, calming, clean, and welcoming. They do a very good job of putting the patient and family at ease on their big day. 4. I would trust my own family in his hands, his surgical team, and his nursing staff. Thank you specifically to Kim, Rosi, and Dr. Bates. If you are looking for a place that genuinely has their patients’ best interest at heart, this is it."
"Dr. Hancock, Lindsey, the care team, and all the girls at the front desk in both the Nocatee and Ponte Vedra locations were absolutely amazing! For my first time having surgery and being nervous, they put me at ease very quickly and I was always greeted with smiles. I would highly recommend Dr. Hancock to friends & family!!"
"Huge Shout out to Dr.Ellen Hancock, her nurse Lindsay and all of the staff at PVPS. I has a breast reduction on 8/5/24 and I wish I did this 10 years ago. Dr.Hancock is incredibly nice and intelligent. She answered all my questions and made me feel so much better about my anxiety and worries. Ive healed so well, and at 5 weeks my scars look amazing. My breast and nipples are symmetrical and overall I am beyond happy. I emailed nurse Lindsay a few times from home and she would always answer within 30 minutes, even late at night. Amanda was also incredibly nice and helpful and the front desk staff always made me feel welcomed. If you are looking for any type of procedure, I would recommend PVPS to EVERYONE. Thank you PVPS and Dr. Hancock for changing my life 🥹"
"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."

"Dr. Hancock and her team are incredible. As someone who had never undergone surgery before, I was extremely nervous. However, Dr. Hancock's professionalism, warmth, and expertise quickly put me at ease. She's an outstanding doctor! I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family and wouldn't hesitate to return to her if needed in the future."
"Dr Hancock was amazing! She was very thorough in explaining the procedure and risk, as well as answering any questions I had. I got a breast reduction and the results are looking great so far. I still have some healing to do but it looks great and is the exact size I wanted. The care team is also incredible. Every time I go in for an appointment, I’m greeted with smiles and warm hellos/goodbyes. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Hancock as a surgeon for her skills, bedside manner, and the teams very clear care for their patients."
"Sincere thanks to the PVPS team and Dr. Hancock! Thanks to your exceptional skill and attention, my life has changed for the better. The results have exceeded all my expectations, and now I feel confident and beautiful. Thank you for your professionalism and care, which made this experience so positive and inspiring. You truly changed my life! With best wishes, Mariya Boswell"

Ashley Michaux not only helped to erase my Melasma with her knowledge and execution of laser services, but she also is instrumental my continued upkeep and youthful image! Couldn’t be this confident with her!!! Best laser in town and best staff in North Florida!"
"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’ve gone to Mary Daley at PVPS for my facials for quite some time. Mary gives the best facials and she is so knowledgeable about skin care and knows exactly what your skin needs. My skin is so radiant when I leave there and feels oh so good. Her room is very very clean and so relaxing, calming and very comfortable. There’s nothing better than lying on her table with the warming blankets while Mary is performing her magic. I always refer to Mary’s facials as “her hands feel like feathers on your face.” I’ve had many facials by other estheticians and Mary is, by far, the best. I will never go to anyone else other than Mary. PVPS is very lucky to have her. Susan Carroll"

"I continue to be impressed by PVPS and their level of attention and care given to patients. I had a breast augmentation in 2020 with Dr. Sternberg and I am very happy with my results. The entire process was professional and courteous. I am now seeing Jennifer for injectables and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is not an up seller- she genuinely gives her patients her full attention and focus and is thoughtful in how she approaches treatment. She is knowledgeable and ensures her patients are informed and comfortable. Additionally, she is mindful of costs and is considerate of that which is a nice perk. The level of care I receive with her is unparalleled and I look forward to continuing to rely on her for all of my beauty needs. Highly recommended PCPS. Thank you!"

"Kim Gibbs CRNA was amazing! PVPS Amelia Island is my new go-to for all things beautiful!"
"The PVPS team is hands down, THE BEST place to go for any service. No matter the service, location, or provider-I have always received the highest level of care. I had surgery with Dr. Sternberg, botox & fillers with Sharon, facials with Mary, and my daughter had surgery with Dr. Hickman. We couldn’t be more pleased. It is so refreshing to see a business that operates in the manner they do…they take the time to really listen in order to give you exactly what you’re looking for, they stay educated and up-to-date on their craft, they take excellent care of their staff, it’s no wonder that every single person there is a joy to talk to and work with. In fact, every time I visit, I wish and envision myself working there, ha ha!!"
"I recently had a series of appointments with Deleah Pickler, NP for consultation, treatment & follow up care at PVPS. Deleah provided first class care from start to finish! I am so pleased with every aspect of care Deleah provided. Additionally I am thrilled with the results of my treatment. I will be a returning client. I confidently recommend making an appointment with Deleah Pickler, NP for treatment at PVPS!"
"Had a 10/10 experience with Dr. Sternberg and his nurse Lisa & patient coordinator Bri. I am a little over one week post op now from my breast augmentation and am extremely happy with my results. The whole experience was wonderful from start to beginning and the team really relieved any of my worries or concerns. I knew I was in the best hands and will always recommend PVPS- they truly are the best!"
"I have been going to Mary for a few years now and will continue for many more! She is professional while also being a genuinely attentive conversationalist. I always look forward to my appointments with her. She is an asset to PVPS on many different levels."
"Kim Gibbs, CRNA on Amelia Island is amazing! She is very professional and makes you feel so comfortable! Kim is very knowledgeable about skincare and procedures that are offered at PVPS. Her technique with filler and dysport/botox is perfect...she uses just enough to make you look younger, but not "fake". I look like myself, but years younger! Treat yourself and go see Kim!"
"Dr. Hancock is by far one of the most amazing surgeons and her entire team is beyond phenomenal. From the very first consultation, to the last check up - it has been professional, fun, educational, and everything you would hope for. I opted for a breast augmentation in December and she was so informative about the process, what to expect, what the results were, etc. She and her team answered every question with compassion and didn’t let me feel silly for asking. I truly wish I would have done this sooner, but happy I waited as I fell into the best hands Ponte Vedra has. I will 100% be back to Dr. Hancock for any other enhancements and recommend them to anyone who is even considering getting anything done from head to toe. I am beyond thrilled with my results and would do it a thousand times over. Thank you to the entire staff!"
"Kim at PVPS in Amelia is amazing! Give her a try you won’t be disappointed! ❤️"
"I received my Hydra Facial at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery on Amelia Island 2 years ago and have been going back regularly ever since. Kylene Globis-Cover is so professional and knowledgeable! I thoroughly enjoy my time there and my skin always feels and looks SO fresh and healthy afterwards. Kylene listens to my wants and needs and walks me through what ZO products she recommends for my skin type. Kylene is the reason i began a regular skin care regime and im very thankful i did! The Amelia PVPS office on the south end of the island is so beautiful and clean; check it out if you’re curious to learn more about happy and healthy skin! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"
"Jennifer Thurman-Olivieri at PVPS is amazing. I see her for several different things at PVPS and trust her completely. She is always willing to take the time and discuss a procedure with me and if she thinks I’m a good candidate. She is such a thoughtful hcp and her thoroughness and precision during each procedure is top notch."
"100/10. Not to be vain but my lips look better than anyone I know & my face is always glowing…. Don’t assume I’m saying I did this on my own, I wouldn’t be this beautiful without PVPS!!!! In all honesty & seriousness, I’ve had breakouts for as long as I can remember & not only did PVPS help me but they also provided me with the skincare & regimes to ensure I don’t have to worry anymore. They have not only been the most kind, helpful & lovely med spa I’ve ever been to(trust me I’ve tried them all in jax) but they’ve made me so confident which in turn, has resulted in my life being AMAZING. SO, needless to say, go here. Also, they don’t push you into things, they aren’t pushers, no one likes a pusher. Not to mention the staff & how they have all become people I look forward to seeing!! Sarah Porter takes the cake, need anything or have questions, that’s your GIRL!"
"I’ve been getting Botox here for years but decided to also get a MOXI Laser treatment. The results were amazing with just one treatment. My sun damage and melasma were either significantly faded or completely gone. Ashley did a through consultation and asked many questions including questions about my nationality in order to give me the best treatment and care for my skin tone. The treatment products I used after the procedure helped tremendously with healing and I got a call the next day from the office checking on how I was doing. The professionals at PVPS are absolutely the best and I will never go anywhere else."
"I cannot say enough about Kim Gibbs CRNA, she is extremely knowledgeable, talented, kind caring, and reassuring. She has been my go-to for over a year and I followed her to PVPS due to her amazing qualities- I could not recommend anyone better than Kim Gibbs, especially for newbies. Worth the drive , you will not be disappointed."
"I’ve been seeing Kylene Globis at the PVPS Amelia Island location for almost 3 years and have been so happy with the results! She knows exactly what I need to keep my skin feeling hydrated and looking good. I trust her to recommend the best products for my age and areas of concern. Can’t say enough good things about her as a person and aesthetician."
"I can’t rave enough over the amazing service that Kylene provides for me & my skin! She is so knowledgeable about the skin and products that PVPS offers! I have people ask me all the time about my skin! I owe it all to Kylene! Moxi & Skinpen are two of my favorites! Could not live without my PVPS Amelia office visits!"

"I recently had my first cosmetic procedure (breast augmentation) with Dr. Hancock at PVPS and had nothing less than an amazing experience from my very first consult. Dr. Hancock and all of the staff made me feel so comfortable and safe and I’m beyond happy with the results. I’ve already recommended Dr Hancock to several of my friends."
"I can not say enough great things about everyone at PVPS. Top of my list though are Dr. Hancock, Lindsey and Beth. The second I met Dr. Hancock o was put at ease. She is amazing, personable professional and yet like you friend all in one. She is so interested in how you really are doing and just has the greatest information. My procedure was awesome and I had relief and hardly any pain after. The results are great also. O couldn’t have asked for better. I ended up with a bit of a hiccup after and was lucky enough to have Lindsey to lean on for help. She was reassuring and so sweet! She never made me feel like I was being ridiculous or overly concerned. When I see Beth at the office it’s like seeing family also. Always has a smile and hug! I am already working on having my eyelids done with Dr. Hancock. I know for a fact I’m in the best hands from the moment I walk in the door to the moment I walk out!"
"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)"

"As a person that has had six different types of surgeries over the years at different locations with different surgical teams; I can tell you that the team at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery is absolutely top notch. From my counselor, Beth, to my Pre/Post operation RN, Lindsey, to the entire surgical team, and especially Dr. Ellen “Boots” Hancock, they were professional, talented, and totally involved with every step of my surgical process. First, I talked with my counselor and explained my request for surgery. Next, I met with my Pre-Op RN and Dr. Hancock who listened to my request for surgery. She made a thorough evaluation of my face and explained what she recommended for me. Then, very important to me, she explained in detail what results I should expect and what the team would expect of me to ensure the right outcome. Then my counselor discussed my procedures and informed me of the cost. As I proceeded towards my surgery date, the team walked me through each step and ensured that I was ready. The surgery went exactly as scheduled with no issues. I live out of town, but Dr. Hancock has continued to stay in contact with me to monitor my healing process. I could not be happier with the results and the entire process. If you are considering plastic surgery, I highly recommend you contact Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery and ask for a consult with Dr. Hancock. You will NOT be disappointed!"
"Dr. Hancock, Dr. Hickman, and the entire staff at PVPS are exceptional. I was referred to a different medical office but because I was familiar with PVPS and their stellar practice I chose to seek a consult at their office. That was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the very start, I was treated with the utmost care. All of my questions were answered timely and every step of the process was thoroughly explained. They made certain that I was prepared well in advance of my surgery and their care and compassion helped to alleviate any fears that I had. My pre and post op care was impeccable and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my surgery. I will always recommend the PVPS practice without hesitation. They are truly THE BEST at what they do,"
"Dr. Hancock is amazing! After breastfeeding my children for a combined 6 years, I went to PVPS for a breast augmentation. Dr. Hancock and her staff were very professional, kind and patient. At both consultations, Dr. Hancock sat with me as I tried on different sizes and gave her opinion and advice as to what looked best with my body type. She never seemed rushed or annoyed or bothered by my many questions. It was truly a wonderful experience, and I am so happy with my results."

"Dr Hickman was so amazing for my breast augmentation and lift, from the initial consultation to post op! She even called me the day after surgery to check on me. I felt very cared for and comfortable the whole time. I would 1000% recommend PVPS and Dr Hickman."
"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!!!!"
"I cannot say enough good things about PVPS. Everyone was very professional and thorough. I just had a small breast reduction and lift with Dr. Sternberg and I couldn’t be happier about this decision. The entire process was smooth. Anesthesiologist was awesome. Dr. Sternberg was very easy to talk to and he really listened to anything I had to say. The nurses explained everything in detail and answered any questions that I had. At the most I would say I was at 1 or 2 out of 10 discomfort, but nothing OTC pain meds couldn’t resolve. Again, I am so grateful for the whole team at PVPS. If anyone is trying to find the right plastic surgeons for your needs…give this place a try. You won’t regret it!"
"A big thank you to Dr. Holli Hickman and the care team at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery for their compassion and caring way the last 10 years. Today marks 10 years in my breast cancer journey and Dr. Hickman and her team were a bright light in that journey. She is not only an excellent surgeon, but she and her team show empathy, helping patients get to a new normal. You have helped me over the years more than you know. I never wanted to switch care teams as insurance changed. You have influenced that decision for sure! I would refer you any day."
"I always have a good experience at PVPS. It is easy to make appointments and their several locations are very convenient. Sharon Prince is the best! Always love the results from my services."
"Such a wonderful group of people! Every person involved in my care was outstanding. My surgeon, Dr. Hancock, is awesome. She listened to my concerns, explained options, and made me feel so comfortable and confident. In addition to being a great person she is an extremely talented surgeon! Lindsay, the RN that works with Dr. Hancock is professional, expert, and kind; she was always available as liaison and educator. Christine, the RN that cared for me during my overnight stay was amazing! I felt safe, comfortable, and in great hands as I woke from my long face and neck surgery. The pre and post op care from my esthetician Michelle was excellent. She made me feel so welcomed and her experience is priceless. Last but certainly not least is Beth, Patient Care Coordinator, who explained the financial side of services. She was wonderful! PVPS is the total package. I now look great and feel better about myself than I have in twenty years. Thank you all so much! Carolyn BSN, RN, CNOR"
"Dr. Hancock and Lindsay are out of this world amazing!!! I had a tight time frame that I was shooting for and without such an amazing team, it wouldn’t have been possible! Dr. Hancock’s knowledge and personality put me at ease within minutes of meeting her! She is truly a master of her craft! The entire team on day of surgery were beyond anything I could’ve imagined! I was so impressed with the level of care from being checked in, to the wonderful anesthesiologist and even to post op care when Lindsay was on the ball at every turn! This team is filled with genuinely good people who truly take their profession seriously and have fun along the way!!! I am beyond pleased with my results and could not have asked for a better experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Dr. Hancock and the staff at PVPS have been incredible through my breast reduction journey. The staff is so kind and quick to respond to emails throughout my recovery. Dr. Hancock has been incredible and I’m so happy with the surgery. As a bonus the clinics are so clean, modern, and beautiful!"
"Dr. Hancock is amazing. I’m so happy with my breast augmentation results, she and her team nailed everything from size to pre and post-op care. Highly recommend!"
"I have nothing but great things to say about Dr Hancock and her team. From pre-surgery prep to medications and post-surgery care, everything was clearly explained and managed. They answered all my questions and were available for after-hour concerns. Dr Hancock took special care to make sure my incision was well-hidden: it’s just one week post-surgery and the incision/scar is not even visible! The entire team is very kind and I highly recommend Dr Hancock and PVPS."
"My experience with PVPS has been nothing but wonderful. Dr Hancock, Lindsey, Beth, Emily and far too many to name are outstanding. So far I love my results can’t wait to see what I look like 6 months out. There was virtually no pain after my extensive procedure (a huge plus); I do and will continue to recommend Dr Hancock as she highly skilled and knowledgeable. The entire team at PVPS from check-in through end of visit are warm, friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for cosmetic/plastic surgery, you have just found the place."
"I had my breast reduction in July 2023 and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr. Hancock and Lindsay were so helpful, kind, and understanding. They answered every question I had and never made me feel silly, despite how overwhelming planning for a surgery felt! Recovery was much easier than I expected, and I felt very prepared to take care of myself. My results are absolutely gorgeous— I have no more back pain or any other physical symptoms, and I feel so much more confident. I finally feel like I belong in my body, and it’s all thanks to Dr. Hancock’s fantastic work. I can’t recommend her and the PVPS team enough. 100 out of 5 stars!!!!"
"I can’t begin to express how happy I am with the results of my breast augmentation. Dr Bates and his nurse Rosie took such amazing care of me from the very first consultation to every post op appointment. Dr Bates did amazing work. I told him what I was looking for and he more than delivered. When I first saw myself I knew I made the right choice with pvps and Dr Bates. I’m 3 months post op and my breasts look perfect. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Thank you Dr. Bates and Rosie for taking such great care of me and making me look stunning 😍 If you are thinking about a breast augmentation, this is the place to go!"
"I had a facial procedure done about 6 months ago by Dr. Hancock and I am extremely pleased with the results. She took her time to explain everything thoroughly and was able to answer all my questions in a clear concise manner. I am usually not the one to go out my way to post reviews online but from this experience it is absolutely necessary! Thank you Dr. Hancock and the PVPS team!"
"The staff and providers are incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I am beyond happy with my experience and would recommend PVPS to anyone."
"I recently underwent a breast reduction procedure at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery, and I am absolutely thrilled with the outstanding care, professionalism, and exceptional results I experienced. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I had made the right choice. First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Hancock, a true master of her craft. Her expertise, attention to detail, and compassionate approach reassured me throughout the entire process. Dr. Hancock took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my desired outcome, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident in her hands. The results of my breast reduction exceeded my expectations, leaving me with a beautifully sculpted, balanced figure that has significantly improved my quality of life. Nurse Lindsays expertise and attention to detail were evident in every interaction I had with her . She provided a level of personalized care that made me feel valued and well-cared for. Lindsay's professionalism, kindness, and ability to anticipate my needs contributed greatly to my overall positive experience. I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Beth. Beth's warm and compassionate demeanor immediately put me at ease. She patiently answered all my questions, alleviating any concerns I had prior to my procedure and ensuring I felt prepared for each step of the process. Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery is not just a medical facility; it is a haven of excellence, where patients are treated with the utmost respect, compassion, and professionalism. The entire staff, from the friendly receptionists to the attentive nurses, created an environment that felt like a true support system. The facilities were clean, modern, and comfortable, further enhancing my overall experience. I cannot recommend Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery enough for anyone considering a procedure. Trusting this team was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am forever grateful for the life-changing results they have provided."
"I'm 4 weeks post-op from chin lipo with Dr. Handcock, and I just have to say, DO IT! It's money well spent. Everyone was incredibly nice and easy to talk to throughout the entire process. Dr. Handcock and her team even made sure I felt comfortable, and she's amazing! There was absolutely no pain during the procedure, and it was surprisingly easy. I can't believe how it took about 10 years off my face. I highly recommend Dr. Handcock for any plastic surgery needs – she's the one to go to."
"Dr. Hancock changed my life! The breast reduction was recommended many times throughout my life but I never did anything. I decided to look into it and my Dr recommended DR. Hancock! Her and her staff are super friendly and make you feel super welcoming! Anytime I had a concern and or question Dr. Hancock and her team were right there! After the surgery I’ve been able to do things that I haven’t been able to do in years. Such as being able to go on a run without being in pain, being able to walk without being in pain and my favorite thing in the whole entire world being able to jump on the trampoline with my two nieces and not feel held back and or in pain! Highly recommend this staff to anyone looking!"
"I recently underwent a mastopexy and implant exchange and I am thrilled with the results! Dr. Hancock is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she is also compassionate. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and put me at ease throughout the entire process. The surgery itself went smoothly, and my recovery was quicker than I anticipated. The results are natural-looking and exactly what I was hoping for. I am so grateful to Dr. Hancock and her team for their excellent care, and would highly recommend Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure. -Shannon Neal"
"My experience with Dr.Hancock and her team at PVPS was exceptional. Not only I am thrilled with the surgical results but the journey from consultation to post-surgical follow-up was awesome.

Here we are 12 years later and after much weight fluctuation, I am going back to Dr. Hickman for another procedure to get back to where I was and I can't wait! In the meantime, I am a client if Alison for all things skincare and Kimberly for a little filler and they are both absolutely incredible. Needless to say, PVPS is 12/10.

"My first surgery was a breast augmentation but this second surgery was an implant exchange with lift. After 3 kids and weight fluctuation my girls weren’t perky and happy as they once were , they were sad, huge and saggy. I was a 34F and post surgery I am now 34DD. Dr. Bates and his team are absolutely phenomenal. From the moment I met Dr. Bates he made me feel comfortable and confident he could give me exactly what I was looking for and he did! I didn’t even know the size of the implants I was getting but through their knowledge and technology Dr. Bates gave me the perfect size and was able to give me the look I desired .

"Kylene did an amazing job during my first time experience with a hydrafacial. The process was very tranquil. I felt so pampered and comfortable; leaving not only with my skin feeling amazing (in fact, the best of all time) but also equipped with educational advice concerning better skin care habits for continuation of results. Kylene's passion and knowledge are equally impressive. I visited the Amelia location which is quaint, has a most relaxing environment and is conveniently located for those in or near Nassau County. I highly recommend Kylene & PVPS and am confident that you will not leave disappointed! Book Today! Thanks again!"

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."

"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 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 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. Aside from my wishlist, my mindset was that 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. I debated between the idea of saline and that I could just leave them until something went wrong but ultimately agreed to go silicone as the office shared how natural they felt. I knew I would be most comfortable with my decision with having implants that felt like they had always been there. Dr. Hickman and the entire team at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery were friendly, relaxed, professional, and attentive. I always felt in good hands and the surgery center was top notch with care and providers."

"I had my consult today with Dr. Rumsey. I was warmly welcomed by the front office staff. They immediately brought me back to my waiting room. The nurse was very pleasant while going over my file and answering any questions I might have had. Dr. Rumsey came in and I felt at ease immediately. He went over all my options and made sure I understood what the procedure would consist of and my recovery time. I knew after this visit that I was in good hands with the team at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery."

"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!!"

His Nurse and Patient Care Coordinator were very professional and made me feel comfortable as well! Highly recommend PVPS! Thank you for a great experience!"
"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!"
"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!!"
"I had my consult today with Dr. Rumsey. I was warmly welcomed by the front office staff. They immediately brought me back to my waiting room. The nurse was very pleasant while going over my file and answering any questions I might have had. Dr. Rumsey came in and I felt at ease immediately. He went over all my options and made sure I understood what the procedure would consist of and my recovery time. I knew after this visit that I was in good hands with the team at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery."
"I’ve had several amazing experiences with Kylene at PVPS. If you are considering a facial I highly recommend the hydrofacial! It pulls impurities out of your skin and makes you feel fresh, rejuvenated, and the BEST glow! My FAVORITE service is micro-needling. Kylene does the best job and the results are so worth it. I look forward to my upcoming appointments with her. She is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and gives you the best treatment and plan for your skin needs! You won’t be disappointed!"
"I really enjoyed my experience at PVPS today. I was made to feel at home from start to finish. I’m excited about my next phase of my self care process."
"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!"

"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!"

"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 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!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
"Kim was so lovely and made me feel right at home! And the hydrating facial made me feel 10 years younger! Highly recommend PVPS!!"
"Love Dr. Burk, I have been coming to these guys for over 15 years and they are the best!! Connie is great with Botox!! Can't say enough positive things about everyone who works at PVPS!! �"
"Dr Hickman was awesome, very sweet , professional & made the whole pre op and post op surgery comfortable for me. Also her nurse, Stacey was great & Jess in finance dept was super sweet. I recommend PVPS 100%! I love my boobies! Thank you PVPS & Dr. Hickman."
"Andrea besides being an excellent aesthetician, she is also a great person. Always smiling,with a great, positive attitude. I`ve been going to PVPS for 4 years now. My skin looks better now, than when I was in my 20s. My skin is healthier and it glows like never before. Andrea taught me how to take care of my skin, giving my face a little love and attention with the right products. I always leave Andrea feeling relaxed and refreshed."
"Dr. Sternberg was simply amazing, from the initial consult to the pre-op to the actual surgery to post-op. He was professional, engaging, enthusiastic and set realistic expectations every step of the way. I could not be happier with his staff of nurses as well, thanks Lisa and Beth! I would highly recommend PVPS and already have!"
"i I recently had surgery on my upper and lower eyelids by Dr. Snyder. What an experience. From the moment I walked in the door till the moment I was wheeled out to my car after surgery I was treated like a queen. Everyone from Rosalie, Beth and the rest of the staff were wonderful and made me feel like I was the most important patient they had. The care was excellent and Dr. Snyder truly was the best. I would highly recommend PVPS to anyone who is thinking of having some kind of procedure done. They are are truly professionals who care and perform the best service possible. Many thanks to the whole staff at PVPS. You all get gold stars in my book."
"I've been going here for years. PVPS has great customer service, and the best aestheticians and surgeons too! You will not be disappointed!"
"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!"
"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 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."
"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."

"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."

"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."
"Consulted with Dr Bates today and he was wonderful! He made me feel comfortable, was very informative about my procedure, he laid it all out for me in order for me to make a decision! His Nurse and Patient Care Coordinator were very professional and made me feel comfortable as well! Highly recommend PVPS! Thank you for a great experience!"
"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."
"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!"
"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 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."
"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.Updated on 26 May 2020:I'm currently three days post op and I'm feeling much better than days 1 and 2 post op. I wanted 360cc, but once the surgeon got in there she could only get in 310cc. Before surgery I stressed that I didn't want to look like I had two balls glued to my chest, so I'm happy that she didn't stuff me with more than 310cc. I will gladly have a second surgery done to achieve the size I want. The first two days were brutal, it was tough sitting up on my own, or really do much on my own. Here's my three days post op pic, I'm super swollen and just ready for the drop to happen. Please make sure you have someone there to open your medications for you, and make sure you have plenty of clothes that either button up or you can slide up over your hips.Updated on 26 May 2020:My right boob doesn’t hurt at all, my left boob is still sore. (Left tit was the weakling during breastfeeding also) The worst part is the tightness, I took my bra off to shower and I just felt like my implant was going to fall out, it was just strange not having them supported in the bra. I have a little bruising around the incisions today, and the pain is still just uncomfortable. I have more movement in me arms today which is cool. I also noticed that I can’t feel my left nipple, like all the feeling in the left tit is gone. The right is just fine and I so hope the feeling comes back soon. Updated on 28 May 2020:I had my first post op appointment yesterday. Dr. Hickman wants me to not wear a bra for a few days, and on Monday I will start wearing the strap. I haven’t noticed any little sort of dropping, but the bruising at my incisions look significantly better. No real pain today, just a little uncomfortable and like muscle tightness in one boob. Updated on 2 Jun 2020:On the 7th day post op the lymph nodes in my armpits started swelling, and on the 8th day they became incredibly painful. Moving my arms, putting on DO, and shaving were difficult. Things were fine up until that point and I had to start taking ibuprofen for the pain. My left boob and nipple were still really sore, like a burning sensation. I had no fever and my incisions looked fine so I just waited until Monday (10 days post) to talk to my PS about my concerns. She said my left incision was a little irritated and the severity of the lymph nodes in my left armpit were a little concerning, so she put me on an antibiotic just in case there’s any infection. I’ll post a picture of the swollen lymph nodes, I haven’t been able to shave so the armpit looks gross, every red spot is a swollen lymph node. Today I’m 11 days post op and they’re still so high, my PS gave me instructions to start massaging them. I’m super impatient and ready for the drop and fluff to happen. Updated on 3 Jun 2020:I had a follow up appointment today for the possible infection. On Monday Dr. Hickman only put me on the antibiotic as a precaution, today she said everything looks great and she doesn’t think I have an infection. The tapes over my incisions were removed today too. Updated on 11 Jun 2020:Just thought I’d drop a two week post op comparison pic. I’m so happy I had this surgery done Updated on 18 Jul 2021:If you’ve ever considered having ya tits done, just do it. This will give you the biggest confidence boost. Just please do your research and go with someone reputable, not someone cheap."

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!!"
"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!"

The tapes over my incisions were removed today too. Updated on 11 Jun 2020:Just thought I’d drop a two week post op comparison pic. I’m so happy I had this surgery done"
"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 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 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!"
"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."
"Wonderful team! Thank you for always being available and making our experiences always warm."
"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!"
"I first consulted with PVPS in 2008 and have been very pleased with their services."
"I drove from Tampa to have my surgery because I won’t let anyone else I trust no one else. Dr. Hickman and her team are all amazing and I would recommend them over and over again. They are all very professional and make you feel right at home. Love them all!!"
"The entire PVPS team is welcoming, professional, and friendly."
"A wonderful experience as always. PVPS staff are all amazing! So grateful to my favorite doctor, Cacey Rumsey and his team!!"
"PVPS has always been cordial, efficient, and professional in all aspects of any procedure I have had. This includes consultations, surgery, Facials, Botox and fillers. Thank you, PVPS!"
"Best place to go to for all your cosmetic needs. Dr. Hickman and her team are all amazing and I trust no one else!! I live in Tampa and drove the distance because of how much I trust this group. I had so many concerns that I would even message her directly and she would always reply back to me with her sincere answers and opinions. This is something that isn’t always done by others."
"Dr. Hickman and her team are amazing! I recently got a breast augmentation and absolutely love the results. I could not have asked for a better outcome! Dr. Hickman and her nurses made the process extremely easy, answered all of my questions and really listened to my overall goal. The recovery was virtually painless, hardly needed pain meds past day one and by day three I felt great and was completely off of them. I could not be happier with my new body and would recommend Dr. Hickman to everyone!"
"This practice is not only very professional but provides a very personal touch as well. I couldn’t be happier with Dr Burke, his nurse Carol and all of the staff at PVPS. Top notch!"
"The physician and staff at pvps were beyond professional and welcoming. I was very impressed with everything from the way I was greeted upon arrival to the extensive individual care & time I was given by both the assistant and physician!"
"I've had injectables for years, from several providers, and I felt that PVPS was superior. Quick and painless. Will return."
"The staff is extremely efficient and friendly and the surgery facilities top notch. This was my second procedure with PVPS. The first one was phenomenal so I expect no less this time I just had a lateral brow lift and facial fat transfer from Dr Sternberg and am very pleased with the results so far. I am only on day two, but can see that the results will be just what I wanted. I have had very little pain or swelling. The nurse called today to check on me to make sure all was good. I would recommend PVPS for any cosmetic procedure."
"I love to visit PVPS. The receptionist is so sweet ,efficient , and makes checking in so easy. I have gone to PVSP for several years having had surgeries as well as facials . I have recommended a friend to your facility."
"I can say enough about every employee at PVPS. From the moment I made the initial inquiry phone call, to being discharged from my surgery everyone was spectacular. I can’t say enough about the care and professionalism I received. I would highly recommend PVPS without reservation. Dr. Hickman is a gifted surgeon and a wonderful person"
"I underwent ablative skin laser resurfacing procedure by Dr Snyder and his team. Very professional and was quite well organized team. Dr Snyder is ofcourse no doubt the best in his communication and knowledge along with his expertise. Highly recommend anyone who is looking for any form of laser treatment by an expert"
"Great Experience as always. Staff is very friendly and helpful with needs and request. Dr. Hickman and her team has taken very good care of me while I have been recovering from breast cancer. She is always very friendly and easy to talk to about issues and concerns. Thanks so much for your care."
"From the moment I arrived at PVPS for my procedure I felt comfortable. I knew I was in good hands with Dr. Rumsey. Melissa guided me through all of the steps before the procedure and immediately followed up after! That is so unusual these days. I received a personal call from Dr. Rumsey also! Wow, now that was impressive. I’m not just a number to them, I am being treated like family. My daughter asked me if I would be willing to go through this painful procedure again. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t stop laughing at that question the day after! Of course when you’re in pain the answer is a big fat NO! However, on the 3rd day, when I saw such a huge difference it changed my answer to yes! I’m 66 and feel like I’m in my 40’s, so why not look the way I feel! I certainly would recommend Dr. Rumsey and his staff, to anyone that is considering the Erbium Laser procedure. Thanks again to Dr. Rumsey and his amazing staff!"

"I absolutely love Dr. Sternberg! He always over delivers perfect services. I refer everyone to him because he’s the only trusted Surgeon I would ever recommend. I have had serveral procedures completed elsewhere and no one compares to him. Dr. Sternberg and his amazing team are the absolute best. Highly recommended!!!"
"For the past ten years I have been a patient of nurse practitioner, Connie Jongewaard. She is knowledgable, professional, caring and expert in what she does and how she does it. Over the years, she has delivered a series of treatments for me and each treatment has been what I wanted and needed at the time. She listens to you and makes recommendations that are well-informed and the best for you in terms of the results you want. It's delightful for me to think about the difference she has made, over the years, in the way I look and feel about myself. My experience has been that the PVPS logo says it all, Where Excellent Is Standard."
"Hi! I am writing to thank the PVPS staff for an absolutely fantastic experience! I was greeted by and made the appointment for my consult with Lynette at the Nocatee location. When I met with Dr. Rumsey for my consult he was thorough in explaining his approach and recommendations for my desired results, what the recovery time would be, and what I could expect after surgery. He took the time to show me before and after photos of other patients and encouraged me and my husband to ask all the questions! I was ready to schedule my surgery that same day. Beth explained the costs and got me scheduled for surgery!!! My pre-op nurse, Crystal, was amazing and helped put me at ease. My operating nurse, Mandee was with me during the operation and throughout all of my post-op appointments, she was patient, kind, and understanding! My pre-op nurse, Beth N. was gracious when it came to talking me through waking up from the anesthesia, helping me get up, get dressed, and get out to the car to head home! I really can’t say enough about the staff at PVPS and my results are insanely amazing!!! Everyone at PVPS made this an experience that I will speak fondly of for years to come! THANK YOU!"
"I can’t say enough about all of the staff I’ve encountered at PVPS. Lynette is warm, welcoming, and just a joy to interact with! Amy is the absolute best when it comes to Botox! I’ve referred several of my friends to her and they are all more than pleased! Dr. Rumsey, Beth G., Mandee, Crystal, and Beth N. all knocked my socks off with the level of attention and detail they’ve provided me during the last few months! From consult, to day-of surgery, to post-op appointments; I know, without a doubt, that I’ve been in the best hands in Jacksonville! Very thankful to this practice!"
"Lower body lift after weight loss - Dr. Rumsey is awesome, he listened to what I wanted and gave me realistic expectations. He seemed genuinely excited to perform the surgery and make a change in my life. He and his team have great follow-up, checking in on me postoperatively and ensuring my health and well being. His calendar is booked appropriately so office visits and procedures are performed on time. I cannot say enough about how caring he is and how professional he and his staff are. From my first meeting with him to my most recent check-in I have been impressed. My results are truly transformative, I cannot believe this is my body. The scar is perfectly placed and blends in with my anatomy already, it is thin and flat with no indentions or dog ears. When I am ready to continue my journey, it will be with him."
"Amazing Quality Surgeon - I absolutely love Dr. Sternberg! He always over delivers perfect services. I refer everyone to him because he’s the only trusted Surgeon I would ever recommend. I have had serveral procedures completed elsewhere and no one compares to him. Dr. Sternberg and his amazing team are the absolute best. Highly recommended!!!"
"Just wanted to send a huge thank you to the whole team and Dr Snyder for such a awesome job. Putting the health of our 4 month old baby in someone else's hands was tough but all of you made us feel safe and at home. Everyone is very professional and kind. We always felt welcome and informed. It's almost been a year since our sweet boy Liam had his lip repair and it looks fantastic. I just wanted to send you all kudos and provide you with his before and his current picture."
"Alison has been my aesthetician for a few years now. One of her most amazing attributes is how much she truly cares about her clients. She is very knowledgeable about skin care and treatments and can assist in correcting or maintaining your skin, but her ability to really listen and guide her clients is where her strength truly lies. As long as I have been seeing Alison for my skin care needs, she has committed 100% to my journey to having the best skin possible. From recommending my skin care regimen, to skin pen procedures and/or facials, she is proficient in helping me achieve my skin care goals and she checks in with me often to ensure I am happy with the results I am attaining. If I have a question, she responds very quickly with not just an answer but an explanation so I can determine what the best method or next step is for my particular goals. If you are thinking about taking your skin care seriously or you are just starting out on your skin care journey, I would highly recommend working with Alison. It is not every day you meet someone that takes your goals as seriously as you do. I can assure you, if you want excellent skin that you can be proud of, you will want Alison on your team!"
"When one is considering elective plastic surgery, there are a number of factors to consider. To state that it is challenging to make the selection of a board certified physician and an accredited facility, would be an understatement. The reality of the situation is that it is that it is overwhelming, if one is to do their homework. Having had differing experiences with physicians in differing facilities which were largely positive, I can say that my surgery and follow up with PVPS has been the most positive. My surgery was facial and was performed by Dr. Snyder. I was most pleased with the results being reflective of his analysis, training, patience, and skill. In the initial consultation I learned that he was extremely analytical, had a grasp of anatomy related to my situation, and the experience to recommend what was needed, not what I thought I needed. Additionally his educational background, his hospital privileges, his volunteer work, and his communication style all came into my decision to have surgery.
I think that it is also important to know that PVPS made certain that I was physically prepared for surgery. With a checkup by my doctor, a thorough questionnaire, and follow up questions by the anesthesiologist, I felt ready for surgery. Also to note, the anesthesiologist was with me from surgery beginning to end.
Other factors of consideration are related to staff and facility. Dr. Snyder’s nurse Rosalie is amazing. She has impeccable follow up and follow through skills, is personable, and an effective communicator. Making you feel relaxed and bringing a smile to your face is also her specialty. All front staff and behind the scene staff members are professional, helpful, and responsive. The facility is beautiful, clean, and notably accredited."
"Dr Snyder is the most considerate plastic surgeon. He listens to your questions and takes his time explaining the procedure. Breast cancer is devastating and his reconstruction surgery gives you self esteem and takes away the memories of Chemo that you went through..now you feel renewed again...I Thank you so very much for your talent, caring, and a great team at your office..You are Blessed.????"
""Naomi was the most knowledgeable and kind individual that I have spoked to in the plastic surgery field! It was amazing to be able to call in and have such caring service. She answered all of my questions in the most respectful and informed manner, as well as simply having a fun and upbeat attitude. Not only did she thoroughly answer my questions, she stayed on the phone with me for 20 minutes to do so! She definitely made me feel like I couldn't make a better decision to continue to choose PVPS for my cosmetic needs. Thank you, Naomi!""
"I had surgery with Dr. Rumsey about 5 weeks ago. He is amazing! This group is wonderful. The nurses who helped me before & after surgery were so sweet & caring. His nurse, Melissa, was super helpful with any questions I had/have pre & post op. I love my results, and highly recommend him & his team."
"I started going to PVPS (SouthSide location)
a year ago, went in for a HydraFacial with Andrea and she also recommended ZO and Colorescience products. My skin looks amazing! I used to wear a lot of make-up because of adult acne and my skin was supper dry. After the combination of the HydraFacials and the home routine my skin has never been better!! I'm obsessed with the ZO skin health products by the way. Thank you Andrea!
Love the Southside location, very friendly!"
"Male Liposuction - Abdomen and Flanks - I went to Dr. Sternberg for a consultation and from the beginning everyone on his team put me at complete ease, was very encouraging, understanding and clearly explored all options. Dr. Sternberg was extremely honest and open about my options and expected outcomes. For a person who was very uneasy about this type elective procedure Dr. Sternberg and his team was the reason I decided to move forward and I am beyond happy with the results. This team puts patient care as #1, they treat you like a member of the family and are very accessible post OP for questions. My procedure fell near a holiday weekend and I still received a call from the nurse and Dr. Sternberg daily for checkup, this makes all the difference in patient care and a recovering mind. As far as the results, WOW, my expectations were blown away. My advice, you can get a procedure anywhere but you cannot get high level patient care and exceptional results without going to the best. I unequivocally recommend Dr. Sternberg and his team for anyone considering a procedure of any kind. ~ S.M~"
"Dr. Sternberg performed a breast augmentation for me about 2 months ago. Leading up to surgery, I was nervous and excited, but very anxious about surgery I was electing to do. I went back and forth between different sizes for about 3 weeks before I actually confirmed a size. Dr. Sternberg and his team were incredibly patient with me as I worked through this. They were honest with me from the beginning and encouraged me to do what I was comfortable with. The day of surgery, everything really hits you and I almost walked out and didn't go through with the surgery. Dr. Sternberg and his team were there for me every step of the way - whether it was easing my fears or being a shoulder for me to lean on throughout the process. I went through with the surgery and couldn't be happier! It was the best decision I made and I am so thankful for the team at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery that stood by me through the whole process. Dr. Sternberg is amazing and does beautiful work! I would not recommend any other plastic surgeon in the area other than him. You will not be disappointed by your results or your experience!"
"I am so grateful to have found PVPS. At 62 I feel the prettiest I have felt in my life because my skin is finally the best it can be. I owe it all to the Nocatee team of Dr. Hickman, Stacey, Alison and Jess.
Dr. Hickman is brilliant and kind and takes an incredible amount of time with you building a relationship . She's my favorite doctor ever! Her nurse Stacey was also just as wonderful. I owe Allison a huge thanks for setting me on the right path from the start and her continued care and treatments. A big shout out to Jess in the office who magically just puts everything together. I love going in there as I'm always treated so warmly, and its fun!
I highly recommend PVPS"
"It crept up on me sooner than I had wanted it to…fading, greying, sparse eyebrows due to the natural aging process. I learned about tattooing brows and thought I might just “hold that thought” for a moment until I could actually see some tattooed brows AND work up the nerve. Finally, I bit the bullet and asked around about someone exceptional in brow tattooing. Alison Kuzoian’s name came up a few times and an added benefit was that she was with PVPS. Made the appointment and Alison set all my fears to rest as she methodically and professionally explained the process and what she would be doing, the color selection and everything and anything I might experience or expect. Just finished my second visit last week, and I cannot enthuse enough about Alison and the “art” she created when she tattooed my new brows!!! Could not be happier! My friends thought they were wonderful too, and it was my pleasure to send them Alison’s contact information."
"Andrea has helped me so much with getting my oily rosacea skin under control. She knew exactly what would help my skin1 I have only been going to see her since December but my skin looks so much better! I recently went to my dermatologist for another reason and she commented that I had the smoothest skin. I told her about PVPS, Andrea and my ZO products. Thanks Andrea!"
"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."

"If you read the many great reviews on the PVPS website, you will quickly see a theme echoing the tremendous and unique qualities of the PVPS doctors and staff. But, my wife and I thought that it will be good to share some thoughts from me, the husband…which I am glad to do! From a women’s perspective, the excitement of having this ‘change' sometimes overshadows the skepticism which is generally there with any procedure of this nature; but, for me, it was 'front and center’ because this was more than a cosmetic necessity. My wife's implants were 26 years old, and this alone, created some medical complications in what would normally be a routine procedure. However, she felt she had found the right person in Dr. Sternberg during her initial research on the web, and this was fully confirmed, beyond our expectations, during the consultation. Dr. Sternberg was empathetic about the condition of her old implants, he really listened to her and took the time to understand her fears. Unlike many plastic surgeons whom we have heard of from family members, she was not for going ‘big’. He offered options, and true concern for the athletic and natural physique that she sought. She, and I, were both so relieved to be in the care of a surgeon who really listened, and made every effort to fully understand her expectations. This was all finally confirmed as Diane prepared for the procedure, because the staff was a reflection of him! They were calm, un-rushed, and prepared Diane for the total transformation that was to happen over the next couple of hours, as well as the following days and weeks of her healing. Her ‘shape’ went from distorted, hard, disfigured foreign bodies to natural, healthy, beautiful looking breasts. What, perhaps, is most impressive about Dr. Sternberg, and his staff, is that the care and empathy in their follow-up visits has not diminished. As a husband, who cares about his wife and family deeply, I would recommend to ALL partners of someone who is going through this process, to carefully choose a doctor who not only has the skill sets and staff to complete this procedure, but the passion for detail and basic empathy that is sometimes lost in the healthcare industry today. I believe that if you look around and do you homework, you will find many skilled plastic surgeons, but finding one that is talented, passionate and empathetic to your particular situation will lead you directly to Dr. Sternberg and his staff. Besides the transformation of my wife’s “new self image", is the truly unexpected, more profound closeness that has come to our marriage. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Sternberg and his team!"
"I'm writing this review in regards to Ashley Michaux. I've been a patient of Ashley's at PVPS for several years and this review is long overdue. Ashley is knowledgeable and trustworthy and professional yet friendly. Cosmetic and surgical issues can be intimidating and overwhelming, but she always puts me at ease and helps me make well informed decisions, without getting carried away. Based on my experience with Ashley, the entire staff at PVPS has my utmost confidence and I would, and have, frequently recommend other friends/family to this practice for their various needs!"
"Alison Kuzoian is wonderful.
I had not had eyebrows for 10 years and had given up all hope of once again having full beautiful eyebrows.. Microblading is amazing when you are lucky enough to find a talented and caring aesthetician. Alison spent 40 minutes with me just drawing my brows so we both were pleased with the look.
People are not sure what changed but everyone and especially my husband love the way I look. When you are 67 and people are telling you how young you look you know you found another PVPS jewel.
Every Dr, nurse, aesthetician, office personnel that I have had the pleasure to consult with have always shown what caring and result driven procedures are what they deliver.
If you do not know how wonderful the procedure is ask Alison for my before and after results."
"A great practice with a great reputation! Keep up the great work, team!"
"Dr Hickman was awesome, very sweet , professional & made the whole pre op and post op surgery comfortable for me. Also her nurse, Stacey was great & Jess in finance dept was super sweet. I recommend PVPS 100%! I love my boobies! Thank you PVPS & Dr. Hickman."
"Love Dr. Burk, I have been coming to these guys for over 15 years and they are the best!! Connie is great with Botox!! Can't say enough positive things about everyone who work at PVPS!! ?"
"I must say that Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery is top notch when it comes to skincare and customer service! I chose PVPS based on a recommendation from a friend. I happened to go to a baby shower and in a room full of beautiful women I noticed HER skin. She referred me to PVPS and I have been very satisfied ever since. After meeting with Andrea the aesthetician in the Southside office I felt comfortable exchanging my current skin care regimen for better products and trying the hydrafacial to maintain my skin texture and reduce pigmentation. Her recommendations were spot on and I do not go a day without someone asking me about my skin or telling me how great I look. It is amazing what Andrea has done in 4 months! She is also wonderful at providing top notch service and due to to my travel schedule she is always willing to assist! If you are looking to improve your skin while feeling welcomed and respected by professionals then this is a place to go!"
"Dr. Sternberg was simply amazing, from the initial consult to the pre-op to the actual surgery to post-op. He was professional, engaging, enthusiastic and set realistic expectations every step of the way. I could not be happier with his staff of nurses as well, thanks Lisa and Beth! I would highly recommend PVPS and already have!"
"I started working at PVPS in September 2016 and had horrible cystic acne. Andrea guided me through the Zo Skin line to choose the perfect products that would help my skin. I am 10 weeks into using the products and my skin is completely clear and glowing!"
"Thank you so much to Andrea Bailey for being such a knowledgeable, sweet, sincere person! She keeps my skin looking youthful, glowing and clear. Her recommendation of such great products at PVPS Southside has helped me maintain my skin between treatments. In just two applications of the products I have already seen an improvement."
"I recently had surgery by Dr. Sternberg at PVPS. My experience was an all-around, fantastic experience. From the moment I walked through the door at my initial consultation, the staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Sternberg listened to my concerns and came up with a very agreeable plan of care. The office staff handled the whole insurance process with knowledge and ease. Jess, the patient care coordinator, was so friendly and personable and coordinated m...y appointments and surgery. Robin, Dr. Sternberg's nurse, was so informative, and gave me great information regarding the procedure from start to finish. She answered all of my questions and was readily available if I had additional questions. She even called the day after surgery to check up on me. I am so pleased that I chose Dr. Sterberg and PVPS. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sternberg and the staff at PVPS. The customer service and patient care is world class."
"Alison Kuzoian is wonderful.
I had not had eyebrows for 10 years and had given up all hope of once again having full beautiful eyebrows.. Microblading is amazing when you are lucky enough to find a talented and caring anesthetician. Alison spent 40 minutes with me just drawing my brows so we both were pleased with the look.
People are not sure what changed but everyone and especially my husband love the way I look. When you are 67 and people are telling you how young you look you know you found another PVPS jewel.
Every Dr, nurse, anesthetician, office personl that I have had the pleasure to consult with have always shown what caring and result driven procedures are what they deliver.
If you do not know how wonderful the procedure is ask Alison for my before and after results."
"I recently had a procedure done with Dr. Snyder and was extremely pleased with the outcome! I love his humor and he makes your feel confident and comfortable about your choices. The staff at PVPS is amazing! I will definitely be back with any other procedures that I may need!"
"I purchase all my skincare at PVPS and have for years. I recently had a slight problem with a manufacturer"s promotion on an item I purchased. Your front desk team has always been excellent and accommodating but Amy really went above and beyond to help me out. She listened, cared, resolved the issue, and followed up with me. My sincere thanks and appreciation"
"I was a bit skeptical when my dermatologist recommended Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery to me, when I asked for her opinion as to who I might see for skin care. I had long since tired of department store promises, drawers full of ineffective products and no commitment from either as to the health, care or look of my skin. Under the amazing and thorough care of the world's best Estititian Andrea Bailey and the staff at PVPS Southside for almost two years now, I can attest that my skin has greatly benefited from the medical grade skin care products -- as has my budget. I spend far less money and time being ‘sold’ products that sit on top of my skin (or in my drawer) with little, if any, benefit. Instead, I now set an appointment and have the opportunity to enjoy one-on-one time with a professional who can advise me about skincare and provide products that benefit my skin from a cellular level. Products that actually improve the condition of my skin – not mask it! I finally made the switch to medical grade beauty products about three months ago. Oh my goodness! What was I thinking?! Why did I wait so long?! It is totally amazing the difference in how my skin looks and feels. I cannot say enough about Andrea and the staff at PVPS Southside! They are so friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating – just plain fabulous! I cannot say enough about the medical grade skin care and beauty products, etc., that are offered. Professional – better value – absolute real results! Thank you Andrea!!"
"I moved to the area in late spring and was anxious about finding a new skincare professionals. Without question, PVPS has alleviated all of my anxieties!
Andrea Bailey has essentially transformed my 62 year old skin in just a few short months. She developed an individual treatment plan and carefully monitored my progress, adjusting as needed. My skin looks and feels great.
Connie Jongewaard has shared her tremendous expertise in both the art and science of cosmetic procedures with me. I am amazed at her ability to understand my needs and help me obtain wonderful outcomes.
In Nocatee, I have been working with Alison Kuzoian to update and refine my previous permanent makeup (eyebrows and eyeliner). She uses the latest techniques, and I have felt no discomfort!
Today, I don’t even see some of the skin flaws I have struggled with for years. Because of the PVPS team’s talents, amazing results and new-found confidence, I find I need to wear very little makeup. Amazing!
Thank you!"
"Dr. Scioscia , Dr. Salamon, Taylor, and Crystal and the entire team at PVPS did an amazing job taking care of me on Thursday. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the final results."
"As someone who has struggled for years with accepting my acne scars, I can’t thank PVPS enough for showing me that I actually DON’T have to live with them.
Andrea Bailey, my Aesthetician at the Southside location, recommended that I undergo a series of 3 SkinPen Microneedling Therapy sessions - a pain-free, quick procedure with almost no downtime. It sounded too good to be true, but I decided to give it a shot. And I’m so glad that I did.
My skin improved immensely with each treatment. All of my scarring diminished or vanished completely, plus (added bonus!) my skin stopped overproducing oil for several months following each session. No more blotting papers, no more using the blur feature to “fix” my face in Instagram photos - but most of all, and most importantly, no more hiding and no more feeling helpless. Thank you Andrea and PVPS for empowering me to show my scars who’s boss."
"I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Burk and his nurse Carol. They are amazing. Dr Burks bedside manner put me completely at ease. Not once did I feel uncomfortable. He preformed a breast augmentation on me and not only am I obsessed with my results, I was completely taken care of from start to finish. His nurse Carol went to great lengths to ensure that I was comfortable and went above and beyond in helping ease my anxiety and nerves the day of the surgery. She was attentive to my needs and took great care of me. I was very particular about the look I wanted and Dr Burk listened to me and executed my wishes perfectly. You cannot go wrong w him. He is the best. Carol is the best. PVPS is the best."
"i I recently had surgery on my upper and lower eyelids by Dr. Snyder. What an experience. From the moment I walked in the door till the moment I was wheeled out to my car after surgery I was treated like a queen. Everyone from Rosalie, Beth and the rest of the staff were wonderful and made me feel like I was the most important patient they had. The care was excellent and Dr. Snyder truly was the best. I would highly recommend PVPS to anyone who is thinking of having some kind of procedure done. They are are truly professionals who care and perform the best service possible. Many thanks to the whole staff at PVPS. You all get gold stars in my book."
"I recently visited PVPS Southside and met Andrea Bailey. She has since provided services for both myself and my two teenage daughters. All three of us had a great experience and are enjoying marked improvements in our skin! Both daughters are seeing huge improvements with acne and acne scars and I am loving my fresh new skin and ZO skincare products! Thanks Andrea!"
"Dr. Sternberg and his team are all kind, professional and helpful. The experience was so amazing, I am glad I chose Dr, Sternberg for my procedure . My husband is just as excited as well. Awesome job."
"I’ve been a patient at PVPS for too many years to remember, and I will continue to go until which time I actually will need plastic surgery. I go for the aesthetic non-surgical procedures, (so far)!
There are many other practices attempting to offer similar services, but no one even comes close in service, innovation, performance, staff attitude and expertise. For convenience, or price, I’ve been to other clinics, including Palm Beach, Boca Raton, even Atlanta but no one compares. They are the REAL thing.
Over the years I’ve grown to know Andrea, Connie, and even Barbara at the front desk, all are utmost professionals, always, genuinely warm and welcoming.
I also must commend the entire practice for their generosity and graciousness in contributing to our Community."
"Andrea besides being an excellent aesthetician, she is also a great person. Always smiling,with a great, positive attitude.
I`ve been going to PVPS for 4 years now. My skin looks better now, than when I was in my 20s. My skin is healthier and it glows like never before. Andrea taught me how to take care of my skin, giving my face a little love and attention with the right products. I always leave Andrea feeling relaxed and refreshed."

"Emily McLaughlin at PVPS riverside is awesome! Always very professional and nice. She's been doing my facials for over a year now and I highly recommend her, and I have several times."
"I can't say enough great things about PVPS! Emily McLaughlin, aesthetician, is absolutely fantastic!! I had been cursed with adult cystic acne & after her expert advise, recommendations & treatments, I rarely have a break out. She is very knowledgeable & I always look forward to our sessions."
"I have been a skin care patient at PVPS for 4+ years now. It has truly been a life changing experience for me. I spent the first 30 years of my life seeing dermatologists, trying all kinds of products (over the counter as well as department store) in attempts to take care of my face. Only to find myself at age 30 with unhealthy, red, inflamed and irritated skin. The minute I put my faith in the professional expertise of the amazing aestheticians at PVPS, my skin turned around instantly. I now get compliments on my skin all the time. Thank you PVPS for bringing health and life back to my skin!"
"I am writing for two reasons. First, I have known Chris Weber over 10 years. I began seeing her when I was approximately 40 years old. Although she was aware of my desire to take good care of my skin, I would like to first thank her for the level of professionalism, care, and dedication she displayed each and every time I saw her. Her "steady", respectful, calm deminor made it exceptionally easy to discuss my concerns with her. Chris never wavered regarding her approach-she always gave me the time and her listening skills were extraordinary. PVPS is very fortunate to employ someone with the knowledge base, while having the unique ability to appropriately share/educate this with her patients. Chris's communication skills, encoupled with her years of experience, clearly indicates just how seasoned she is in her field of practice. Anyone can do a "job", but it takes a true successful professional to make her clients feel comfortable, trusting, and the desire to keep coming back.
Secondly, prior to moving out of the area, Chris offered her assistance, researching plastic surgeons that would be best suitable for my needs. While I was still settling into my new home, Chris continued to answer any questions, and even introduced me to a new product, which was perfect for my new concerns while living in a "dry" region. Thank you Chris. But, most importantly, during my first appointment at my new plastic surgeon office, I was asked if they could take a special "picture", providing them with a multitude of information regarding how my skin is aging. Thanks to Chris Weber, and the skin product she started me on over 10 years ago, the picture indicated that my skin (externally) put me in the 81st percentile, which means that only 20 percent of women have younger-looking skin. Chris, thank you for keeping me out of the sun and educating me on how to properly take care of my skin. As a true Floridian, where suntans are important and it's fun to go to the beach, THANK YOU PVPS for hiring Chris Weber. Chris, a big hug for being exceptional at your job, as well as a wonderful person."
"Dr. Sternberg, Robin, and the PVPS staff are hands down amazing. I was shopping for a plastic surgeon around the area where I live when 2 of my girlfriends recommended PVPS. Although, it was quite of a drive, considering what my gfs said about the place (word of mouth is the most powerful marketing agent) and the reviews, I said why not. When I called to schedule for an appointment, Naomi was the one who answered all of my questions, she was very friendly, informative, helpful and bubbly. She made me feel very comfortable talking to her about my consultation, my fears and what I'm looking for. After booking the appointment, I thought to myself "hmmm soo far soo good" :) The day of the consultation, I arrived at the Nocatee office and man, it looked beautiful. The nurse was very friendly and informative and answered all of my questions about the difference between saline and silicone, she got my vitals and even refreshments while I waited for the doctor. Robin then came in and then Dr. Sternberg. Dr. Sternberg was amazing, and have great bedside manner. I told him what I wanted and I think he knew right away what I was looking for. He probably knew before I did. I was lost with the sizes; all I know is that I wanted to end up with a C cup. I wanted large natural looking fake breasts. I don't know if that make sense to everyone but it did with him. He took my measurements and let me try on different sizers (best part). The experience with them was amazing. After my consultation with them, I told my boyfriend that he was going to be the "one" to give me pretty boobies and make me look FABULOUS:) The pre-op was great, I'm a very indecisive patient and I kept changing the size, but Dr. Sternberg was great at telling me it's going to be ok, and I'm going to look great. The 2 week waiting period was the worst. All I can think about is my soon-to-be pretty boobies and Robin was AMAZING!!! I have sent her tons of emails about what I want and what I don't want and what I was afraid of, and how I wanted a different size and how I need the doctor to make me a new simulation. She answered all of my emails, she was very patient with me, she was just AMAZING. All in all, the experience was great. The surgery was great, we were there at the crack of dawn. Carol was actually the nurse during the surgery and she was amazing too. Everything went fast and all I can remember before dozing off was me staring at the computer monitor and trying to figure out what music they were playing and what soundtrack the doctor will be listening to while he creates his masterpiece, and then I woke up to my boyfriend's voice. The post-op went well. I felt some pain but not crazy pain. I healed very well. If I ever want anything else done, I will definitely go back to Dr. Sternberg and send everyone to him. My mom started talking about her eyelids and how she wants to get them done. Definitely taking her to see Dr. Sternberg :)"
"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)"
"I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Nancy Woody as Patient Care Coordinator to Dr. Snyder during the 10+ years. I find her to be very knowledgeable about all of his procedures and is very helpful in explaining the charges relative to the various services especially with respect to the hours involved and their respective charges. She is also always very punctual on returning my phone calls and leaving messages if she has missed me.
It seems to me that she has to work very hard to be accommodating to one's requests given the extremely busy schedule that she is dealing with relative to Dr. Snyder. He is so busy not only on days that he is operating but on his clinical days as well, whether it is seeing patients for follow-up surgery or patients requesting non-surgical procedures. Even on those rare times that I was not able to meet with Dr. Snyder due to his busy schedule she was very apologetic and told me that she would let me know as soon as possible if there were any cancellations.
Since I want to see Dr. Snyder for all of my non-surgical procedures every 3 months, it was Nancy who suggested that I look at my schedule and book the entire year out on a 3 month basis to be able to get in to see Dr. Snyder. This system has worked very well for me over the last several years and I have already done so not only for 2016 but 2017 as well.
Nancy makes me feel like I am one of the family and that she is always glad to see me. It makes going to PVPS seem like a special treat! I very much enjoy and respect working with Nancy and have to say that she is someone who I would imagine is a very special addition and part of PVPS."
"I highly recommend Andrea at PVPS. I am always extremely pleased with the skincare treatments she applies and the products she recommends. My skin has greatly improved. I have gained more confidence and am very happy with the results. I trust Andrea and PVPS with my care."
"I highly recommend Connie at PVPS. I am always extremely happy with the results of my skin after seeing Connie. She does an amazing job with botox and fillers. She is very courteous and I trust Connie and PVPS with my care."
"I have been a client of PVPS for several years. From Dr. Rumsey's talent as a surgeon, to Melissa's as a nurse - and Emily and Kim?s as Aestheticians, you cannot find a better and more prepared group of knowledgeable professionals. The service and quality of care and products are unmatched. I would not trust any other location in my care, be it surgical or skin and body care. The atmosphere is spa like and relaxing. Thank you for your amazing care."
"I was bitten by a large dog. He got the entire right nostril. I went to a plastic surgeon and was told, "you will never look the same, get used to people starring....." I was told the only option I had was to use skin from my face which would cause further deformation. I was heartbroken, I thought I had no other options and my face would be scared for the rest of my life.
When I came to PVPS I really had low expectations and was just defeated. Dr. Sternberg, Robin, all the Ladies working were so wonderful and sympathetic in what I felt was the worst time of my life. I had no idea what the procedure was going to end up looking like, I just knew that for the first time a surgeon gave me options, hope, and made me feel like there was a possibility of my nose looking symmetrical.
I could not have asked for better results! Absolutely AMAZING. I can't believe how natural looking the nasal repair turned out! If I didn't tell you what happened, you wouldn't even know. I am SO grateful, and pleased with Dr. Sternberg, Robin, PVPS in general. I would recommend him and the office for anyone's plastic surgery needs. I can never thank them enough for helping me to feel beautiful, normal, and happy again."
"I had a breast augmentation back in August, 2015. My doctor was Dr. Hollie Hickman and I can NOT say enough incredible things about her and the staff. From the first moment I stepped foot in the office to the present, I have encountered the nicest people! Dr. Hickman & Stacey, her nurse, made me feel extremely comfortable through the entire process. They explained all my options and the risks involved in full detail. When the time came for the actual procedure, I had all the confidence in the world that I was getting exactly what I asked for! Even, the nurses at the surgery center were very nice and again, made me feel extremely comfortable! I have and will continue to refer others to PVPS for any type of beautifying you might want! I can't forget to say how absolutely amazing Jess is! She is the one who takes your payment & does the scheduling. She is by far the BEST! Her infectious personality will have you wanting to give your money to them! In closing, I would like to give a huge "Thank you" to each and everyone who took part in my care! I love being boobilicious!!!!!"
"The staff and Dr. Sternberg were highly professional, caring and communicative. From our first visit and consultation to the morning of the procedure the staff were available for any questions and concerns we had. The staff truly cares about their patients and the family as well. As a wife to the patient I appreciated the detailed instructions for recovery and the accessibility to the nurse for any questions we had. Regular phone calls and texts made the recovery so much easier than expected... My husband and I can highly recommend this practice! The results of the procedure were outstanding, Dr. Sternberg is truly gifted in his area of expertise!! Great bedside manner as well, we so appreciated this!! Thank you PVPS!!"
"I have been a patient of Dr Rumsey for 14 years. I currently live in Los Angeles, but I return to PVPS for the best care. I can't say enough great things about him, and his nurse Susie!"

"Dr Hickman and PVPS crew,
Thank you all so much for your compassionate care. You're a great office to work with. Dr. Hickman thank you for going above and beyond your job duties. You're a wonderful, kind, generous and compassionate physician. Thank you."
"I would like to recommend my talented and knowledgable aesthetician, Andrea Bailey, to everyone who may not yet know of her wonderful skin care training and dedication to her clientele. Andrea works out of the Southside office and she has been my aesthetician for 3 1/2 years. At every appointment, Andrea takes the time to carefully evaluate skin tone, texture, hydration and any other skin issues she sees. She is very thorough with her evaluations and usually makes specific recommendations to improve my skin's appearance.
She has had extensive training in skin care procedures and makes the experience relaxing and enjoyable. Her knowledge of the product lines recommended by PVPS is very helpful. She knows just the right product that will help benefit your particular skin care needs. I totally trust her knowledge and always know she has my best interest at heart. If you would like to have tremendous improvement in your skin, go see Andrea. She is a lovely, caring lady and you will be glad you made the call."
"I am writing this article in praise of my Aesthetician, Chris Weber at PVPS. I recently had a small procedure done and was concerned about post surgery care and maintenance of my lid area of my eye which is very delicate. I have been going to Chris for several years now and thoroughly have enjoyed her tips and especially the expert and thorough knowledge she expends through years of her attending the most advanced progressive symposia's and certifications in skincare. My skin always looks marvelous when I follow in her advice on skincare and many family and friends have now made PVPS their skincare "Mecca" of choice and Chris as their favorite Aesthetician. No matter if I choose to use the skincare that she recommends after she utilizes products I always return to get those products because quite honestly my skin just looks and feels better! Again, I returned to Chris to follow up and heed her suggestions of what would help firm, moisturize and keep my delicate eye area looking tight and smooth. I have been following this regimen and received many compliments. I started out after having several different skincare specialists after moving to Jacksonville but have stayed with Chris simply because I love her amazing deep cleansing facial's and how I look and feel afterward. I expected the best at PVPS but certainly surprised that Chris has elevated my experience to the very best, far beyond my own expectations, she is superior at her craft! Chris is the Total Package for indulgence, experience and relaxation!"
"I met Chris Weber 6 years ago based upon a recommendation from another one of her clients. I have found Chris to be highly knowledgeable, personal and professional. She has introduced me to several new facials over the years which have far surpassed any of the facials that I had previously received. I trust Chris to make the decision on which type of treatment best suits me at the time due to her extensive knowledge and training over the years. Presently, I have been having the DF facial and being a male find it to be very beneficial to my skin.
I would not want to have any other individual at PVPS other than Chris maintaining my facial treatment requirements."

"I wanted to do something about the brown pigmentation spots on my face. So, three years ago, I phoned PVPS and made an appointment with Debra Knight. From the moment I walked into PVPS I knew that I had made the right choice. The reception staff is amazing and so very helpful. I cannot say enough about Debra Knight. She absolutely "cured" my skin. Deb spent quality time with me three years ago and she absolutely cared about the skin care regime she decided was correct for my skin issue. After three months, I started seeing the most gorgeous, flawless skin I have ever seen and it WAS MY SKIN! Now, three years later, I am as loyal to Deb Knight as ever! Deb keeps me on a precise skin care routine and I follow her professional advice daily. Deb also does my facials and my microdermabrasion. I am such a loyal believer of Debra Knight that I began taking my daughter to Deb three years ago! Now, she is a loyal patient of Deb's. I have referred many friends to Deb because when they want to know my "secret" to looking so youthful, I have to share with them what Deb and PVPS has done for me. I am committed to Debra Knight and PVPS. I am honored to be a member of the PVPS patient family."
"I have had a regular monthly facial at PVPS since 2007 at the Amelia Island location. Regularly -- meaning I have NEVER missed a month that I can remember. That's about 96 facials! For a few years, Andrea was my aesthetician and she was so wonderful. I just loved her. When she told me she would be at one of the Jax locations full time and would no longer be coming to A.I., I literally cried and was so disappointed to see her go. Whoever took her place was going to have some BIG shoes to fill and without a doubt she did. Emily, who replaced Andrea at A.I., has now been doing my facials for a few years now and she is so awesome! She is very knowledgeable about skincare and she really KNOWS my skin. Every month I look forward to my facial with Emily. She makes my day, I trust her completely and she makes every facial a relaxing experience. I walk out of there feeling rejuvenated! I get so many compliments on my skin. I can't thank her enough :)"
"Andrea Bailey is a wonderful Aesthetician! She's bright and bubbly in personality and has a wealth of skin care information to share. Andrea offers knowledgeable suggestions for improved skin quality and a more youthful appearance, but she is never pushy. Her advice is always sincere. I like the way she keeps tabs on her clients through email even after you leave the office following a treatment with her. Whenever I visit Andrea at PVPS, I know that how I look matters to her!"
"My journey with Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery was nothing less than spectacular! My initial consult with Dr. Sternberg could not have gone any smoother. Right from the start he saw my vision, and knew exactly what I was looking for with my end result. Nurse Robin, what can I say, I have never had a nurse give me her cell phone number and tell me to call should I need anything. Talk about going the extra mile to make sure your patients are well cared for. Scheduling with Jessica was a breeze, I changed my surgery date a few times and Jessica had already anticipated future dates without having to play phone tag. Arranging follow-ups with Barbara at the front was not only seamless but a pleasure to do. Receiving text message confirmation reminders is a life saver, I am thankful for those. Everyone at PVPS is a professional, and they treat their patients with tremendous amounts of respect. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the family at PVPS, other than thank you all so much for making my transformation truly amazing!"
"Julie,
I was writing you in reference to your post awhile ago about shopping PVPS before you started there. I wanted to let you know about my experience and the positiveness I have seen.
I became a patient of Dr. Hickman's as her practice was merging with PVPS. I have seen the difference full circle. The front desk staff doesn't have to worry about the phones while helping a patient, I like the convenience of confirming my appointment via text. I recently had my 5th (and hopefully last) surgery 4 weeks ago. I joked with the nurses and said is it bad I recognize you have new gowns back here? We got a laugh out of that. The surgical nurses always make you feel at ease when you go in and that makes it very comforting.
You have a phenomenal staff both at Baymeadows & Ponte Vedra. I have seen 3 other dr's for an emergency when Dr. Hickman was not available and you would of never known I wasn't their patient. As a patient that is very comforting. God was looking out for me when I was referred to Dr. Hickman after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Through all my tears her bedside manner is impeccable, I am beyond blessed to have her as my dr.
You guys deserve 10 stars for the professionalism, patient care and outstanding staff full circle.
Full credit should be given to you for what you have done, and as a patient I wanted to let you know I noticed the changes and am sure many others have as well."
"I want to say thank you to Chris Weber for help in clearing up my skin and her perfection in waxing.
I am fourteen years old and have been coming to PVPS to see Mrs. Chris for the past two years.
Not only do I enjoy the benefits of facials and the end result when finished waxing, I also look forward to having time to talk to Mrs. Chris. She is so much fun and really understands teenage skin.
She is awesome all the way around!"
"I have been a client of Christine Weber for over 2o years. Started seeing her when she was employed with Mayo Clinic where I am a technician. When she left Mayo I followed her to PVPS. I have loved every treatment she has given me. Always keeps me up to date with any new products that come in. I couldn't be any happier with the way my skin looks. She is the best!"
"I have been a client of Andrea Bailey going on three years now. My skin looks fabulous due to the care and treatment Andrea has provided. I am a faithful follower of PVPS/Andrea. some of the credit goes to the front desk help also. They are always friendly and very professional. That being said, when I first saw Andrea my skin was in dire need of help. I am 58 years old and my skin was showing my age. I was concerned with wrinkles, sun damage,loss of elasticity all the things really that go along with aging skin. I always tried to use the best products I could afford from the department store, but I really was not satisfied with how my skin looked. After my first chemical peel with Andrea I was hooked! She is very knowledgable about the products she uses and recommends. After my third visit people were noticing a big improvement in my skin. People I don't even know would compliment how ni ce my skin looked! I know they say you can't shrink your pores but mine are almost nonexistent. my skin is smooth and radiant. I love putting makeup now. Andrea makes suggestions for products to use at home that support the treatments she gives me in the office and I have to say my skin has never looked better! I struggled most of my life with acne and a bad complexion, you would not know that if you saw me today. I am so grateful to Andrea and all the staff at PVPS. If you are having problems with your skin or just need to revitalize it a bit Andrea Bailey is the girl to see.If I can steal a quote from a popular television ad "you are going to love the way you look"!"
"I have been seeing Christine Weber every month over thirteen years , yes 13 years !! She is extremely knowledgeable about all the newest and best treatments regarding skin care . All the tips and products she has informed me about over the years have been appreciated by me and my SKIN ! It's always exciting to see what is the next best treatment or product . With all her training and expertise I trust her completely ! As a business owner myself I regard her as a wonderful and caring asset to your practice ! I remember when PVPS opened many years ago and watched it grow into what it is today and I know Christine has been there as well giving her clients and fellow employees all her best ! From a loyal and happy client . "HAPPY SKIN --HAPPY LIFE "". Thank you Christine , you really are the best !"
"I cannot say enough good things about PVPS. The entire staff is professional and very welcoming. I have been seeing Chris Weber for many years almost monthly for peels and Skinpen. She has made the room where she sees her clients soothing and inviting. She is very knowledgeable about any product or procedure that I have a question about and is also a perfectionist with permanent make-up. I am always impressed that she remembers our conversations from the month prior and asks questions about the vacation, the grandbaby, or whatever else we discussed. She has been with PVPS since its inception and when you meet her, you will understand why. She just makes you feel comfortable and always makes your visit a pleasant experience."
"I have been seeing Andrea Bailey for a year now. She came highly recommended to me by other employees of PVPS. And I have to say she lives up to every word! Andrea is a true skin care genius! She has completely turned around my skin. I once thought facials were doing enough for my skin--boy was I wrong! Andrea has introduced me to peels and the results are 10x those of a facial! Just incredible! Andrea also knows all skin care lines and has recommended products that have truly transformed my skin. Andrea is also available via email at all times--something you never see from a skin care specialist! That is how I know Andrea cares about her clients--she goes the extra mile! I just love her and highly recommend her services to anyone!"
"I have been coming to PVPS to see Andrea since she started at your office and I have been very pleased with her wonderful facials and recommendations. Andrea is very professional in her field, knowledgeable and great with recommending products. With all of that said Andrea is such a pleasant person and so attractive/kind both inside and out. She is definitely an asset to your practice!!"
"My experience with PVPS was amazing. The staff members were very professional and caring. Dr. Sternberg did an amazing job explaining everything to me and my spouse. I am very happy with my results. Nurse Robin, thank you for everything. Dr. Sternberg, I am forever thankful. I look at myself in the mirror and my breast look so natural, I sometimes think I was born this way! :)"

"Excellent team everyone so nice and professional. My face is almost healed and looking much better than before. I highly recommend PVPS to anyone who wants to improve or enhance appearance. I love the facials and the excellent products well worth the money."
"As my next birthday approaches, I have to take a moment to thank my friend and aesthetician, Chris Weber. I have been a loyal client for 20 years now and people say I have never looked better!! When I met Chris, I used tanning beds, smoked cigarettes, and washed my face with bar soap. She introduced me to the value of good skincare - habits, products and peels - doing the little things to put off the bigger ones. She taught me to invest in the basic - glowing, radiant skin. Thanks to her, I now teach my teenage daughter skincare before makeup. Chris is knowledgeable, dedicated and caring and will help you look and feel your best!
When I started with PVPS, it consisted of only Dr. Rumsey and Dr. Burk. It has been a pleasure to watch them grow and to be a part of it. I've attended skincare lunches, charity events, and raced for causes - they are always giving back to our community. I have to thank Dr. Robin Burk for doing an incredible job reconstructing my husbands nose post cancer as well. Thank you Chris and my PVPS family!
With gratitude and admiration...

"Oh my goodnesss, PVPS is the best! I am so grateful I chose Dr. Hickman to do my surgery. I really felt I needed to respect my comfort zone to choose a woman doctor for my breast augmentation. She and her team are so professional, friendly and comfortable to be with. One might think standing in front of a doctor and/or nurse without your shirt and bra on, being examined before and after surgery, could feel a little uneasy... but that just wasn't the case for me. That part was a breeze! The administrative process with a most likable assistant Jess, went really smooth. She actually fit me into a last minute cancellation date so I didn't have to wait for a month. I was so thankful. So now... I love my results! It was SO worth it. I would refer my closest buds or anyone to PVPS."
"I have been a patient of Chris Weber's for over twelve years and I cannot express enough what a difference she has made in my life concerning skin care. Not only is she the most knowledgeable aesthetician that I have ever worked with, but she is also always honest with me about what I can do to maintain and improve my appearance and never pushes products on me needlessly. I know that I can trust her opinion and buy the products that she recommends that are effective to get the results I desire. I have learned a tremendous amount of information from Chris over the past years and I love passing her name on to my friends because they all call me and to tell me how much they love her too! My two teenage daughters now use her for skincare and for waxing and they two now understand why I have always spoken so highly of her. What a tremendous asset PVPS has in Chris!"
"I have been seeing Emily McLaughlin on a regular basis for almost two years now. I was referred to PVPS by my former aesthetician in Ohio, and was so fortunate to meet Emily within weeks after moving to Amelia Island. I have always had regular skin care where ever I've lived ---New York, Chicago, Columbus, OH. Without a doubt, Emily is the best. She is pleasant, professional, thorough and knows her product lines. My skin has never looked or felt better! Thanks, Emily, for doing a great job 100% of the time. PQH, Amelia Island"
"Secret shopper review:
Appointment Scheduling Experience:
Naomi cheerfully answered the phone welcoming me to the PVPS. I explained to her I was interested in receiving a facial and possibly some time to discuss the colorscience makeup line so I didn't have to make two appointments. She was very accommodating and offered me an appointment the next day which I booked. She directed me to the website where I could find the new patient forms needed for my visit as well. She was a pleasure to speak with.
Check In Experience:
I was the 'bad' patient and forgot my completed paperwork at my office and showed up at exactly my appointment time (5:00pm) instead of a little more to complete the paperwork I had forgotten. When I checked in I told the front desk (I forgot her name) and she handed me the portfolio to complete the paperwork there. She never once got flustered because I was 'that' patient.
Aesthetician Experience:
When Andrea called me back she welcomed me again and thanked me for being there. We walked back to the room and we chatted a little along with way. We stopped in the hallway where I saw the array of makeup. I am a little obsessed with makeup which I told Andrea. She did a quick examine of what she thought my skin needed in the hallway due to the natural sunlight coming through the door. She mentioned a series of chemical peels and a moisturizer, which I had never had before and I told her this. I think she could sense the fear I had because I have seen some horrible chemical peels so I was a little reluctant. She explained in great detail the process and why those people I referenced looked the way they did. It made sense once she explained it so I proceeded with the peel. After she obtained an informed consent, which she gave ample time to read through she started the peel. She explained every step and what to expect which I greatly appreciated and that made me feel even more comfortable with my decision to have the procedure. When the peel was complete we went back to the hallway to discuss which makeup was best suited for my skin. She applied the testers and did the color match that I had requested. I was very interested in the Primer but after applying the testers and discussing the options, it was determined I didn't really need the Primer. I appreciated her honesty with that and appreciate that she did not try to sell me something I didn't need. I am beyond satisfied with not only my experience but my peel and makeup as well. I go back in 4 weeks for my 2nd one of the series. I will definitely continue with Andrea not only because of her personality but because of her in depth knowledge of the products.
Check Out Experience:
I closed up shop with the ladies and Barbara checked me out. She rang up ALL my products and the peel. I wanted to utilize two cards for these transactions and this was by no means a problem at all. She welcomed that. She made my return appointment and bagged my items. Storming was an understatement when I left and she wished me a safe drive home and I left."
"I have been coming to PVPS for years for treatments from Chris. She is amazing. She helped me get my skin looking better then it ever has. I always fill like I am her most important patient because Chris takes her time to help me with my concerns and come up with a plan specifically for me. When you meet Chris, you go in as a patient but come out as friends!

"I first contacted Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery in 2013 when I was seriously considering a total breast reconstruction post lumpectemy 2004. I had two different sized breasts and had experienced an extreme weight gain and weight loss since that time due to quitting smoking. That, and not being a "spring chicken" any longer, and my breasts looked pretty un-pretty. I visited with Dr. Brett Snyder in St. Augustine, at a satellite facility used only for meeting new patients.
My consultation was 5-star. I knew immediately I had found a top shelf surgeon who has impeccable bedside manners and world class training, with the ability to do the surgery needed to 1) make my breasts equal in size by reducing the unaffected side with the side that had been biopsied and irradiated, 2) perform the surgery in such a way as to minimalize scarring, and 3) provide further reduction to both breasts to eliminate any other anomalies with regard to shape and lift. Who could ask for more!
I had just moved from Los Angeles and it was not possible to use my California insurance, so unfortunately I was not able to utilize their services. I went on with my plan and had another local surgeon do the surgery. Although I have a great deal of scarring from the surgeon that I eventually chose, I am very happy to be of equal size and to be "reconstructed" after many "lopsided" years.
Almost immediately after the surgery I developed a great deal of scar tissue on the irradiated breast, and for nearly two years have been uncomfortable with this mass when I wear tight workout gear, so I began thinking about Dr. Snyder again. I went to see him again, this time at his main offices in Ponte Vedra, and was quite impressed with a beautiful, inviting center...spacious with a calming, well-appointed color scheme and furnishings.
I have no doubt that my care is being handled by the best plastic surgeon and best plastic physician center in northern Florida. As I say this, please consider that I am a holistic practitioner, a 25-year veteran of energy work and an intuitive. I read energy and consult on spiritual matters, so it is with great reservation that I give accolades such as this. But I knew when I met Dr. Snyder two years ago that he offered incredible results, and he did not disappoint.
I am now 24-hours post surgery for having this mass removed. Although I have a high tolerance for pain, the scar tissue was adhered (glued) to my pectoralis muscle, a very close carve deep into my fascial layers near the ribs, so it is sore. The doctor chose to re-open an already made incision on my breast to get to it, but I am resting comfortably. Due to my request for very little anesthesia, I have been back to work at my desk since yesterday afternoon and know I'll have very little down time before getting back into practice.
The staff at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery have worked there for 10 and 20 years, which speak to the level of employee retention and relations the company practices. This kind of longevity is a very good indicator as to how true success is measured in the big picture of company operations and service.
Another high note are the employees my age (I am in my late 50's), with youthful, dewy skin, who have employee benefits which include getting the fabulous, age-reversing services offered there. A I use the word, "fabulous" because these protocols obviously work. The gals who work at PVPS all look so lovely, I thought I might have walked onto the set of the movie, "The Stepford Wives!"
Finally, the convenience of a state-of-the-art, on-site surgical center makes this a clear choice when deciding where to go for renewing and revitalizing our bodies. It was so much more convenient than going to an independent outpatient center or in my case with the first surgery, a hospital.
About renewal and revitalization. Granted, revitalizing comes from the inner depths of our desire to feel a bit of a bounce in our step again. It is my opinion, even as a spiritualist, that the renewing part of this process may very well need to come first. I say this because, albeit superficial, it is what we see when we look in the mirror which triggers a part of our sense of self-image and hence self-confidence, thus guiding us to feel a certain way about ourselves. We are all wired differently, but for me and the majority of others, it is a truth we contend and indulge ourselves"

"Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery Center is the only place I will get Botox. Connie is amazing. She is very gentle and I have never experienced any pain or bruising. The staff is always courteous and attentive as well. They carry a wide variety of products and makeup as well. Hands down, PVPS is the best! Trust them for all of your cosmetic needs!

"I have been a patient at PVPS since 2003 for a variety of treatments throughout the years. Connie does an amazing job with fillers on my lips. I am very pleased. The staff is very accommodating and professional. I always recommend PVPS to all of my friends and family- they are truly a wonderful group of people."
"I love the staff at PVPS & Dr. Rumsey is fantastic! He truly is compassionate & will do what it takes to make sure his patients are pleased with their results. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat!"
"Dr Burke and his team were awesome all-around! I had several consults and I was thrilled with my choice!!"
"I had a breast augmentation and a mini tummy tuck 11 months ago. My appointments with Dr. Hickman before and after surgery have been wonderful. Dr. Hickman is very passionate and friendly. These surgical procedures were done five years after my second pregnancy. Dr. Hickman took ample time to answer my questions and address my concerns. She was honest and made me feel extremely comfortable. The procedures went great and I am extremely pleased with the results. I will have my one year follow up this month - I would highly recommend Dr. Hickman from Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery to anyone considering a procedure. She was very meticulous - upholding and exceeding my high expectations. Thank you so much, Dr. Hickman and Team!!!"
"31 Year Old Mother of Two Finally Gets Her Tummy Tuck - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - Wonderful wonderful people and place - - After giving birth to my "irish" twins I was left with a very bad over hanging belly. I decided to hire a personal trainer, and with him I lost 70 pounds. You would think that made me feel better. NOPE! The hanging skin looked evern worse. I was so depressed and starTed putting the weight back on. After my husband suggested the TT did I really believe there was hope. I was very nervous a b d scared because I never had any kind of surgery before. But I had a terrific surgeon. Dr.Hickman and her team of nurses really babied me. They took such great care of me that I wonder why I was ever scared. I can tell you more about the operating room and procedure if you like. But as for now I am 2 days post operation and I'm in pain! Beginning to doubt the procedure being worth it. I know I'll feel better once I'm healed and back to normal. We shall see."
"I had a breast augmentation 9 months ago & would recommend PVPS to anyone! My surgeon was Dr. Burke & I couldn't have picked a better doctor. From my 1st consultation to my post opps he has been nothing less than amazing. He made me feel extremely comfortable & was very helpful when deciding what size to go with, type of implant, etc. If you are looking for an extremely natural looking & feeling breast augmentation go with Dr. Burke!! I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received on how amazing & "real" they look. Worth every single penny!"

"Where do I start? This practice is as good as it gets. I cannot express how much of my life has changed because of PVPS & Dr. Burk.In 2008 - I had a breast reduction. After years of living with breasts too big for my body, Dr. Burk gave me a lift and brought me to a comfortable size. The nurses, the staff, everyone was so accommodating and empathetic. You don't feel like you're doing to a doctor's office at all. You feel like you're walking into a home!!I now live in Austin, TX - and due to a major weight gain of 90lbs, and weight loss (of 90lbs) I needed another breast lift, and skin removal. I'm only 24 years old and wanted my massive weight loss to show without the few negative effects. Dr. Burk worked with me remotely, and when I came to Ponte Vedra for my surgery, he worked a complete miracle. I have no fat on my bra line anymore, I have a youthful cleavage, and the breasts that I'm supposed to have at 24. Carol, his nurse -- was exceptional, her bedside manner is unmatched. I cannot stress enough how incredible this place is. Dr Burk and his staff have completely changed my life. Twice."

"Could not be happier with this wonderful team - from the start to finish, they were accommodating, kind, and responsive. Dr. Hickman communicated beautifully and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. She also made herself more available than any other doctor would typically do. She is a master!

"The Best - I don't know what this last reviewer was talking about. My experience with everyone at PVPS has been the best. From the office staff to the aestheticians to the nurses to the doctors service and expertise are superb. Dr. Burk just completed my third surgery--facelift followed by two full-face lasers, each surgery a year apart. He has changed my life in the most positive way. I highly recommend PVPS whether you are going for fillers, routine peels, surgery, or other procedures. They treat every patient as a VIP. Their occasional educational luncheons with speakers (that always includes one of the drs) are great events and their winter and summer events are a lot of fun with the opportunuty to save on products and fillers."
"Changed from Saline to Silicone at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery with Dr Snyder - Ponte Vedra, FL - PVPS is simply the best around. From the spotless and beautiful facility, the entire office staff, the educated nurses, and of course..the best surgeons this side of florida. Dr Snyder did a fantastic job swapping out my implants as well as fixing a previous pocket deformity caused by the implants i had done 15 years prior. He is highly skilled, friendly, and won't feed you any BS. He is a straight shooter and a very talented man. Nobody could ask for a better experience..and I am having him straighten my nose soon as well. I know I will look beautiful, because he would never settle for less. Please..go see this incredible surgeon. Don't take chances with your body. - - PVPS is simply the best around.

"Mommy Make-over March 2012 - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - I am being honest.... PVPS really was this great. I chose Dr. Rumsey because I really liked his pictures online and then when I met him in person, I knew he was the doctor for me!!!! - - I had a "mommy make-over" with Dr. Rumsey at PVPS in March 2012. After having 3 kids I wasnt sure if I could ever get my pre-baby body back. I eat good and exercise but stretch marks left my tummy looking wrinkled and even saggy. I was hopeful that I would look good in a bathing suit again and FEEL GOOD when I tried stuff on in the dressing room... I wanted shopping to be fun again, and not feel like a chore. My results are amazing! My stomach is flat and no longer hanging over my jeans. I even dropped a pants size! Plus my husband notices the change.... and sometimes they never notice!!! I feel more confident now and I dont dread bathing suit season. Why did I wait so long??? I recommend this procedure to anyone.... Once you have a consult with the right doctor, you'll know what you want."
"I absolutely love PVPS.... I had a mommy make-over (tummy tuck, lipo, and a lift) in March and couldn't be happier with my results!!! I had 3 kids and 3 c-section deliveries.... so I needed a tummy tuck so badly! I chose Dr. Rumsey for my surgery... he is very kind and thorough. I felt like he listened to my concerns and made me feel at ease with the surgery and the recovery. If I had to, I would do it all over again. I recommend Dr. Rumsey and all the docs at PVPS to all my family and friends!!!"
"I am in my early 40's, BRACA positive, and have been living under the dark cloud of my fate since 2003. Every 3 mos I have been alternating the Diagnostic Mammogram, than the Bilateral MRI. I have been fortunate to of had my Breast Cancer caught very early in 2003 and have had 3 lumpectomies since. In May of 2010, 3 of my Doctors strongly suggested I have a Bilateral Mastectomy. I have had an ongoing issue in my right breast for the past 11 mos. and my emotions along with my Doctors care and concerns were nearing the end. My fate ran out and here I was in a daze having to choose a Plastic Surgeon to assist my surgeon during my proceedure. I was given a sheet a paper with a few Plastic Surgeons listed and was told to choose so we could proceed forward.I was still in shock, numb and felt like a walking zombie. I was definately not in any mental shape to make such an important decision. With the list in hand, and some referrals from friends, I set up 3 appointments with 3 Plastic Surgeons in the hopes that I would "just know" when I met the right one. Dr. Sternberg was my 1st appointment. Due to my Surgeons recommendations and another good feeling I had prior to meeting him, I felt he would be the perfect one to start off with.I just wanted to tell a little of my story so you can truly understand what I am about to disclose.I made my appointment with such a "Professional and Caring" member of his team. Ok, now onto the appointment. I arrived at Dr. Sternberg's office and what a "
"In January, 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer; after making the decision to have a bilateral mastectomy, I needed to find a plastic surgeon for the breast reconstruction phase of this journey. I was given three recommendations to plastic surgeons; after doing some research, I crossed my fingers and chose Dr. Brett Snyder of Ponte Vedra, FL. From the first appointment (where we had SO many questions)to present day (I'm almost done!), Dr. Snyder and his staff have been extremely patient and kind, generous with their time, understanding and supportive. The first couple of weeks after the mastectomy/tissue expander implant surgery were "rough" - not knowing whether the physical aches/pains I was experiencing were "normal" coupled with a desire to NOT depend upon the pain meds sent my already over-extended emotions out of control. I contacted Dr. Snyder's answering service over a weekend; he called back right away and assured me that what I was feeling was normal and that I really WAS okay. Another time, I panicked and convinced myself I was retaining fluid around the tissue expanders; Dr. Snyder's staff went out of their way to get me into the office immediately to be checked. Of course, there was nothing PHYSICALLY wrong with me and although I was really embarassed for making such a big deal out of nothing, Dr. Snyder assured me that he'd "rather be safe than sorry" and everyone was very understanding. In my experience, the tissue expansion was the most physically difficult part of my breast cancer experience. However, I didn't go through it alone - Dr. Snyder and his staff were with me every week, empathetic to the discomfort I was experiencing while continually encouraging me toward the end-goal that would help me to STOP feeling like a cancer patient, raise my self-image and begin to see myself as a whole woman again. We were told that my "support team" would be vital to my recovery - I was truly one of the "lucky ones" when Dr. Snyder and staff became part of that support team."

In my experience, the tissue expansion was the most physically difficult part of my breast cancer experience. However, I didn't go through it alone - Dr. Snyder and his staff were with me every week, empathetic to the discomfort I was experiencing while continually encouraging me toward the end-goal that would help me to STOP feeling like a cancer patient, raise my self-image and begin to see myself as a whole woman again. We were told that my "support team" would be vital to my recovery - I was truly one of the "lucky ones" when Dr. Snyder and staff became part of that support team."
