I have been to Dr. Hammond for three major surgeries. He is absolutely a "body artist". This man is so intense and takes his time making sure everything he does is to perfection. I told him I never want him to retire because no one will ever come close to his skill level. On top of that, his nurses are some of the most wonderful, understanding sweethearts you could ever hope to have. They are so so so thorough and caring that they made me feel so comfortable and no question I had was too silly. They answered everything I asked them. I even moved away from Michigan and flew back to have Dr. Hammond work on me and where I live is surrounded by plastic surgeons but he is so top notch there is no way I could trust anyone else. would give him and his staff 1,000 stars if I could! read more

When looking for any medical professional, my only interest is in using the very best. Listed as a top (#3 in 2024) breast augmentation surgeon in the US - Dr. Hammond. Text book author, editor, and board chairman - Dr. Hammond. On plastic surgery lecture circuits around the globe - Dr. Hammond. Provides learning opportunities for medical students as well as other board certified plastic surgeons - Dr. Hammond. Part of implant studies - Dr. Hammond. But how good was this going to be, really? I am out of state and passing a dozen other surgeons on may way to Grand Rapids, Michigan, for Pete's sake! Well, my well planned virtual visit, easily scheduled in person meeting for sizing, and my pre-op appointment for marking were professional, thorough, and left me feeling like I was in the most capable hands. Anna, his medical assistant, is so kind and reassuring. She does an amazing job of making sure all is running smoothly for each appointment and answered any questions that I had. The front desk staff are kind, helpful, and make the most of your time. The rooms are private, clean and comfortable. I met a medical student at my initial appointment, as well as two others during my marking appointment. Dr. Hammond made made so many notes on exactly how he was going to perform my surgery, that even I was impressed by his level of detail and felt very important. He is professional, thorough, and very sure he can deliver on his promises. Surgery day arrived and I was treated like the only patient on the planet. Dr. Hammond came in to check on me and go over the plan. The surgery team (Karen was awesome) was concerned and answered all my questions after going over my plan, the surgery center is state of the art and private, and my husband was kept up to date on each stage of my procedure. And yet another plastic surgeon was in my surgery, learning from the master! I found out afterward that Dr. Hammond had taken extra time to ensure my results were what he had promised. I got to see video from my procedure directly post-op, and he spoke with my husband and I about the entire decision process. I admit that I was a little doubtful that his SAFE augmentation protocol could really leave me almost painless, able to return to normal activity the next day. I expected to be unable to raise my arms, hug my family, or even pull up my hair on my own. I am happy to admit, I was wrong! My family kept having to remind me that I had just had surgery! I went back to work five days later and had no issues taking only Tylenol for a few days. I'm over the moon with my choice in surgeon and staff. My results are more than I could have asked for, and I will continue to recommend Partners In Plastic Surgery to those who won't settle for anything but perfection. read more

Dr. Hammond was awesome to work with. His communication was great and he and his staff always made me feel very welcomed in the office. My procedure with Dr. Hammond went better than I ever could have dreamed. He really boosted my self confidence. Thank you so much Dr. Hammond and everyone else at PIPS. read more

I couldn't be happier with my mommy makeover that I received in December 2021. For the first time since I had my three beautiful children I feel confident and excited to be in my own skin again. Dr. Hammond did a fantastic job. The staff was also so kind and wonderful. read more

An amazing surgeon, my case was very complicated, dr Hammond had to fix some other doctor's mess , and my results are beautiful, I would give him 10 stars if I could . He is very knowledgeable, and takes his work to the heart. Don't settle for any Dr. just because they are local or because they aren't going to charge you much , when it comes to your health and body image, you need to find an excellent surgeon like dr Hammond. read more

Dr. Hammond and his staff are phenomenal! His level of detail is amazing to witness both at the consultation appointment and on surgery day. It's easy to see that he truly cares about his work and loves what he does. I had various nurses at my appointments, but Joanne and Amy both stuck out to me. Their bedside manner and attentiveness made me feel so cared for and calm. The consult, obtaining quotes, coordinating appointments, scheduling surgery, payment, etc. was all so easy which I appreciate. Most importantly, my results are nothing short of perfect and I couldn't be more pleased, he absolutely exceeded my expectations. Dr. Hammond is so very talented, I highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic needs. read more

I had a breast reduction by Dr. Hammond. I am SO happy with the results! There is minimal scarring because he uses his own technique called the SPAIR technique. He created the SPAIR technique which doesn't create as much scarring, and he does seminars and teaches the technique to other surgeons world-wide. He suggested a cup size for me which I initially was worried would be too big, but it turned out just right. The size fits my body-type very well. I am not a large person, but I am above average height, and have square shoulders and more of an athletic build with some belly fat. If he made them really small (which is initially what I wanted) I would have looked dis-proportioned - but any larger and I would have thought I'd gone through the surgery for nothing. I recommend him to anyone thinking of getting a breast reduction. Trust him on his advice for proportion and size. This advice is VERY important. I would even suggest that he is worth traveling to Grand Rapids for the surgery even if you're from New York or Chicago. I couldn't be happier. Here is a link to his website so you can view his before and after breast-reduction surgeries: Or do your own research. Here is the link: http://www.pipsmd.com/plastic-surgeons/dr-hammond.cfm *** He is definitely one of the best breast reduction surgeons. read more

If I could I would hire a plane to go out and run a streamer that Dr. Hammond is the best plastic surgeon!!! I needed a breast reduction and went to other physicians for consultations, one actually was interested in the cosmetic side and how much money it would be, when Dr. Hammond within 10 minutes of examining me explained why my hands were going numb (I was being treated for carpel tunnel). I walked out called my husband and said "I found my surgeon" and have never been more happy other then my wedding day. My husband said this morning "I am like a little girl on Christmas morning, he was happy with my results as well". I had my surgery on on Tuesday morning and by Thursday I was up, absolutely no pain, and felt so much better. Today I am 10 days post op and I am 150% better then I ever expected. Dr. Hammond developed a technique (SPAIR) that is world renown so you have no drainage tubes (other physicians said they did them), nothing was unattached that had to be reattached, and the opening was sealed with steri-strips that came off 6 days post op and there will be minimal scaring. He is the most compassionate physician who truly listens to what you need and helps you make the right decisions. I cannot express my gratitude to him and the awesome staff as well. The team is awesome and you truly owe it to yourself to see him before making any decision and I promise you will not be disppointed, you will be doing the happy dance like myself.

My journey with Partners in Plastic Surgery (PIPS) began when a routine mammogram discovered breast cancer. I was devastated and scared when I found out that I needed a bilateral mastectomy. However, Dr. Hammond and his entire staff at PIPS are sensitive, caring, and put me at ease throughout the entire process. His nurses and office staff are polite and professional and they answered my questions quickly. I always felt like they cared about my health and they reassured me when I was nervous. Dr. Hammond's surgical skills are exceptional and he demands nothing less than perfection of himself. His attention to detail and his rigorous work ethic allows him to be an innovator in his field and he is recognized by his peers and patients as "Being the Best." I am so pleased with my results and I am fortunate to have worked with Dr. Hammond and his entire staff at PIPS. Thank you again for making my breast cancer journey a success. read more

I can not say enough, nor have the adequate words to describe what a thorough, satisfying and informative experience it has been with Dr. Dennis Hammond. It is truly a blessing to have the expertise of Dr. Hammond here in Grand Rapids MI @Partners in Plastic Surgeons. From the moment you call for you first consult appt., thru to your last six month post-op, you will be treated with the utmost consideration, respect, kindness and meticulous care. From the office staff, to the nursing staff, surgical as well as the Anesthesia Dr., they are all there to help make this the most comfortable and comforting experience it possibly can be. They are there to answer any questions, as well as address all concerns. And believe me when I say, that over this 5 yr journey of having a double mastectomy, being in the hands of a different plastic surgeon, (that I have no words to describe either of the nightmare that was), that being directed and finding the God gifted Dr. Hammond, was truly a blessing to me after all that I had been thru. Dr. H not only revised the many mistakes from previous surgeries from the reconstruction, but gave me back exactly what I had been looking for. He asked questions as to what I wanted, not telling me what I needed. I recently had Dr. Hammond perform a Thigh Lift on this 60 yr old body, The results I have received are nothing short of miraculous. As I started out this review saying, I do no have the adequate words to speak how gifted and blessed you will be with the results of any surgery performed by Dr. H. Not enough gold stars to rate! Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Hammond listened to me and let me be a part of my surgery plan! Everyone in the office was extremely helpful! I couldn't be happier with my results! read more

Dr. Hammond has forever changed my life in the best way possible! I had undergone a bilateral mastectomy and was reconstructed by a different surgeon prior to meeting Dr. Hammond. I was referred to him by Dr. Ringler another plastic surgeon in Gr, who when looked at my breast said my case was far to messy and complicated and that if anyone had a shot at fixing my "mess" only Dr. Hammond could do it. At my first consultation with Dr. Hammond he immediately had a game plan and felt very positive that he could improve not just the physical way they looked, but correct a lot of the painful issues I was experiencing as well. Being placed in Dr. Hammond's hands was the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. Never in a million years would someone even be able to tell that I even had a mastectomy. They are beautiful. Dr. Hammond in an artistic genius. Everything he does is so different and amazing. Even my recovery was a completely different (BETTER) experience. He has his own system of making the start to finish so much better. His skills are so far beyond just great. He changed my whole life in the most beautiful and best way possible. Do not go anywhere else! read more
