| "I usually don't do reviews but If you are looking for a surgeon that's going to provide you with the best possible outcome for your needs, you found him! I'm the most pickiest person on this earth and I'm very content with my results so far. Dr. Z is very humble, very honest & funny. I'm a happy client, will be going back for future surgeries" |
| Dr Z is amazing!! He is very professional and an expert at what he does. He did my BBL last week (Oct 31st) and I am VERY pleased with the results. The day b/f my procedure he explained the procedure and answered any questions I had. I can't stop looking in the mirror...Lol!! He even called me personally the following day to check on me. Dr Z got my vote!!” |
| Today is my 3rd day post op for my mommy makeover and I feel amazing!! I went to 5 plastic surgeons for a consultation before I met with Dr Z. None of the other doctors took their time to profile me like Dr Z did! He took the time to answer all my questions. His staff is very professional and well organized. My coordinator calls me everyday to check on me to make sure that I am fine. |
