I am beyond blessed that Dr. Adajar came into my life. I have never had a doctor be so caring and…read moreresponsive; he took the time to get to know me and listen to my concerns and worries leading up to and after surgery.

Thank you for the 100th time Dr. Adajar for being so amazing. I appreciate you.

I first contacted Dr Osipova in late 2017 to consult about recurring hernia issues. She was…read morefantastic during my consult, answering all of my questions, drawing pictures, etc. Dr Osipova suggested I also meet with her partner for a second opinion, Dr. Adajar, who has a different perspective on how to treat hernias. So I made an appointment and did as she advised. Drs Osipova and Adajar were just as fantastic during that consult. I determined I was not going to go forward with surgery right now, but would work on some lifestyle issues to see if that would help. I had blood drawn and Dr Adajar let me know numbers and his recommendations based on my numbers. And then it went downhill. I talked with Dr. Adajar's assistant Michelle, and felt like I was being sold a used car. She wouldn't let me talk, and was just throwing out price tags for consultations that needed to take place, weight loss medicine and vitamins and hormones I needed to buy, etc. When I would try to talk, she wouldn't hear me and I finally just asked her to have Dr. Adajar call me so I could understand what this Xsculpt work was that he does, and talk through what would be the best course of action for me to take next. That request to talk to him was made over a month ago, and I haven't heard from him. I even texted him on his cell, since he used that form of communication with me after my blood test results were in. I got no response. The experience started out great, but then turned into something I didn't understand. And I am left with a bill to pay for the bloodwork and no course of action to take that you usually work out with a medical professional. I wanted to let others know about my experience here so they could take it into account if they decided to visit this office.

Dr. Cobbins is an excellent surgeon and I would recommend her services to anyone interested. She is…read moreincredibly professional, emphatic, and responsive. I had been to several consultations before I met with her, but I knew she was the one within 30 seconds of meeting. She was very clear and reasonable about my anticipated results. She listened to what I wanted and clarified what was realistic. I appreciated her honesty and it gave me a better understanding of what to expect. I scheduled the surgery with her nurse, Katie, (who is also phenomenal) and saw Dr. Cobbins a few weeks later for my preoperative appointment. I genuinely felt she was as excited as I was. She was very clear about what to expect the day before surgery, day after surgery, and follow-up instructions. She answered every single question and was available by phone, if I had any additional questions after I left. The day of surgery, I felt incredibly supported by Dr. Cobbins and Katie who have excellent bedside manner. I remember waking up after surgery with Katie sitting by me and I felt so relieved. The receptionists even entertained my mom while she was waiting for me to be discharged and I appreciate the kindness. I saw both of them again a few days later and Dr. Cobbins even met me on the weekend (when their office is technically closed) to remove the drain. The results were nothing less than perfect. I was so pleased with their size and shape, plus the scarring seems really minimal. Dr. Cobbins has also continued to follow-up consistently and has been available for additional questions/concerns. I don't think I will be able to express how much I appreciate her and her staff. Don't go to any other surgeon!

This is the first time I'm writing a review on my procedure. Six years ago I had a skinny bbl done…read moreby Dr Lorri Cobbins. I was naive at the time but I really wanted a little bit added to my bottom so I went in for a consult. I was also really skinny (like model skinny) so even then she told me oh yeah I've had patients your size or smaller do procedures by me, I wish she rejected me or at least did a less risky procedure since her skills didn't match the words I heard. My body was so perfect in every way before this procedure (just wanted a little boost on my bottom). I remember I said "I heard some peoples shoulders get bigger she was like "Oh no that's not true at all." She did Lipo to my stomach which barely had much fat, inner thighs, and back. Anyways 6 yrs later and I'm struggling with my body image. I've lost my confidence, my skinny bbl doesn't look great, can't find a solution because I have skin laxity on my back and stomach, scarring/tethering (again this is from the aggressive lipo she did and how she used the surgical tools), Lipo fibrosis on stomach and back and yes the upper back looks bigger. I followed all the instructions of wearing the compression garment and everything. The problem wasn't the aftercare instructions I perfectly followed, the problem was the poor surgical technique. She did aggressive lipo on me, took out too much fat because I was thin and ruined the look of my skin. I now have 2 rolls on my back that I never had before my procedure and I feel always bloated for some odd reason no matter what I eat healthy or not even though my diet didn't change. I only gained about 10 pounds (still at a weight women would love) but even with that if the surgical skills were good the body would grow out nice and even, it wouldn't look botched. I wish she rejected me and told me to come back in a year or 2 if I want something permanent after I try something temporary. I wish she told me thoroughly and openly what kind of problems can come up (this was only briefly discussed and none of the problems I have now were discussed as potential issues after surgery). I wish she gave me a temporary option or smaller procedure not as damaging as a first solution to see what it would look like. I didn't receive any other options. I think plastic surgeons (especially ones who've had botched outcomes from their work) need to give a couple options and really think about if the contouring will look nice with each option so the patient can have a good long term outcome and more people will trust them for procedures. Dr. Cobbins took away the most thing that made me confident back then and damaged my body. I am struggling in every way imaginable because of this procedure done by Dr. Lorri Cobbins. The most perfect parts of my body were ruined because of horrible surgical technique and now I am left grieving it. I struggle every day to look for a way to fix it and I'm too afraid to go to someone else that may further damage me. I don't take photos anymore like I used to, I don't try on clothes when I shop like I want to. I can't look at myself in the mirror the same way. Please if you want a better/different look try temporary cosmetic things first so they go away if you don't like them and you don't have to live with the permanent result of a botched procedure.

I found Dr. Fronza by recommendation of my general practitioner. I was seeing another doctor in a…read moredifferent hospital, and was told I needed to have my spleen removed. Hoping to find another solution, I went to Dr. Fronza for a second opinion. After he reviewed my medical history and spoke with me about my concerns, he proposed a surgery that would get rid of my problems and save my spleen. He fought for me and what was best for my body, and made me feel at ease. Every time I saw him, he thoroughly answered all of my questions and was patient with me. I felt like we made decisions together, not like I was being told what would be done. I had surgery with Dr. Fronza in December 2016 (he was able to schedule surgery right away - a week out) and all went as planned. He was able to save my spleen and get me back to being 100% healthy. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes to see him, and scheduling new appointments with Cindy were very easy to do.

Dr. Fronza consulted with me to perform a surgical procedure for an issue that he was not familiar…read morewith. Not only were the treatment alternatives scary to me but the fact that he had never treated a case like mine made it even more so. I found Cindy to be rude and abrupt. Most of my interactions with her felt like I was unwelcome to ask questions or learn additional information necessary for the successful conclusion of my treatment. Cindy directed me to email Dr. Fronza with my questions. I faced a stressful week between my scheduled consultation to my scheduled surgery. My questions most of the time were answered briefly. I ended up canceling surgery with Dr. Fronza. I felt that It is critical that anyone facing any surgical procedure have complete confidence in their surgeon. With my surgical date getting closer I decided to seek a second opinion. I found several doctors familiar with cases like mine in another state. I went to consult with a surgical specialist. While their treatment alternatives were similar to Dr. Fronza they were very conservative In their approach. Today I can tell you that my surgery was successful but I chose to have it done by a surgeon very familiar with cases like mine. The reason for my low rating, poor communication between patient and doctor. Extremely rude and hard to get along with office staff

When I pointed out the area, he very arrogantly corrected me in front of the class and pointed elsewhere as if he knew where my pain was more than me. During my surgical procedure I woke up and conversed with him. He then placed a soaking wet towel over my face waterboarding me and sending me into a panic attack because I couldn't breathe until I was fully sedated again. During the procedure he managed to cut a nerve causing me nerve damage that to this day hasn't healed. My rotator cuff surgery was in Nov 2018, its now Nov 2024 and my shoulder is in worst condition than before the surgery. I currently suffer from continuous pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, weakness, instability, numbness, weak grip, and crepitus (cracking sound) among other negative symptoms.
