This is my preliminary review based on services so far. I'll go back and update after the surgery…read moreitself, and again after my recovery period (3 months). I've seen Dr Sundin at this practice for my upcoming liposuction. He was very friendly, professional, and thorough in explaining my options, treatment, follow up, and answered all my questions. My surgery is tomorrow and I feel very confident thanks to the doctor. Based on the outline I've been given, I don't expect hidden fees (obviously if that changes I'll say something). I have already gotten my medication for post surgery recovery so I won't have to worry about running astound, exhausted and in pain waiting to get my meds. Everyone has been super friendly and helpful and despite youse being elective surgery, no one has come even close to body shaming me which I appreciate. I'm happy with my body and weight, with the single exception that I'm going in to address. At no point did the doctor attempt to disparage any part of my body, even what I came in to address, only asked what I wanted. Edit: Post surgery I can't tell if the hospital tried to double charge me or if there was a genuine computer issue, but the intake rep was great and only charged the correct amount. The lead up in hospital was friendly and helpful, answered all my questions ahead of time. My follow up is later today since one of my incision sites is leaking. Overall, I'm very sore, but only in minor (threatening to verge into extreme) pain when I move or make to stand up. My legs feel fine so I keep thinking I should walk around, but I know better thankfully. The drainage site is right at my panty line so I'm having to wear my panties a few inches lower than I normally do which is a little annoying but whatever. Depending on when surgery is, I definitely recommend dresses immediately following to accommodate access to drainage bulbs. I left around 5pm yesterday and got home and settled at 6pm after my scheduled start asst 12 noon. That's all I can think to share that's relevant but if I think of more, I will of course edit.

I am deeply disappointed with my experience and surgical outcome…read more I underwent a liposuction and abdominoplasty with this surgeon and the results were not what was promised or reasonably expected. The incision was placed approximately 2 cm higher than where it should have been, causing my belly button to sit noticeably higher and giving my waist a squared appearance rather than a contoured one. Despite undergoing liposuction, there is still noticeable residual fat remaining on my abdomen. In addition, the incision was closed without adequate tightening, leaving visible bulging above and below the incision that creates a quilted or puckered appearance. I now have a pooch that I did not have prior to surgery. Liposuction of my flanks and lower back was missed entirely -- not once, but twice. I even underwent a second liposuction procedure, and the flanks were still not properly addressed. The ends of the incision also have what appear to be "dog ears," further affecting the cosmetic outcome. Despite raising these concerns, providing photos, and attempting to have a reasonable discussion, the surgeon would not acknowledge the issues or take responsibility. I was repeatedly told that "no harm was done," and therefore no refund or corrective support was offered, even though the agreed-upon services and expected results were not delivered. This has been an emotionally and physically difficult experience. I am now seeking revision care elsewhere. Based on my outcome and the lack of accountability afterward, I would not recommend this surgeon to anyone considering body contouring procedures. Feel free to reach out 540-336-8162 for more info of my experience with this surgeon. Happy to provide more before and after photos as well. See this surgeon results in attached photos.

I am so thankful I found Dr Niamtu online. I was searching for a doctor who specialized in mole…read moreremoval and saw Dr Niamtu uses a special method using radiowave frequency rather than cutting moles. The back story.. I had a raised, skin-colored mole directly between my eyes. It wasn't incredibly noticeable, but people always thought I had a zit. For years I wanted to have it removed but was too scared. I visited at least three plastic surgeons and one dermatologist where I live in DC to get a consultation on the removal. All of them said not to do it because they'd have to cut and it would leave a scar between my eyes-- no thanks!!! So when I found Dr Niamtu uses a different method online, and since I live in DC and they're in Richmond I emailed photos of my mole to the team and they were extremely responsive. The doctor himself even emailed me back after looking at the photos I sent. So, off I went to Richmond for the day. I was nervous because, hello, this is my face! Right between my eyes!! But the doctors and staff put me immediately at ease. They numbed my mole and used their special radiowave machine to eliminate it. I was in and out quickly and essentially painlessly, other than the numbing pinprick. For about a month after, it was very red where the mole once was. This month of having the red mark was worth EVERY minute -- I now have no mole whatsoever, no mark, no scar, nothing. It looks as if the imperfection was never there. I can't begin to express how thankful I am, it really helped my confidence and am so glad I trusted the doctor here with my face. If I ever needed anything else done I would drive down again from DC without a question. My procedure was done in February 2015.

I'm writing this review one month post-operatively regarding Dr. Joe Niamtu's work and staff. For…read morethe record, mine was a 4.5 hour procedure under full-anesthesia and included upper and lower blepharoplasty, face lift, neck lift, chin implant, and full CO2 laser resurfacing. Not a small undertaking. Although additional enhancement procedures such as cheek implants and a lip-lift were options offered, none were pushed on me and I chose not to add either. A child of the hippie and feminist era, I never thought I would consider such a denial of my authentic self! I started my dialog with the staff in May of 2025, put money down in June, with a surgical date established in September of 2025. Though living far from Richmond, I had done my research prior to scheduling and was reassured that I had selected the right surgeon by the website, testimonials, and video tutorials of Dr. Niamtu which thoroughly prepared me for what was to happen. That being said, I had LOTS of questions before and after. Dr. Niamtu has addressed all of them with understanding and patience. If questions concerned other members of his staff, such as the anesthesiologist or the surgical nurse, he had them contact me directly. In the preoperative appointment, he and I went over the results I expected, and he clarified exactly what could and could not be done. Despite the understandable anxiety of going under the knife, he and his staff made me feel safe and every concern was attended to before and in the post-operative weeks that I was in the area. I wondered if after I left I would get the same responsiveness from them, figuring that once the car is bought and paid for, the dealer takes his money and runs, but that is hardly the case with Dr. Niamtu. My concerns during the healing process continue to be addressed. Being from out of town, I chose to stay in the Richmond area a full two weeks after the surgery. I wisely chose Susanne Singer as my caretaker. I would have stayed longer if Dr. Niamtu had indicated it was necessary, but he gave me the green light to get on the plane at the 2-week point. Surgical nurse, Breeden Browning, was excellent for her skill, but also when I talked to her woman-to-woman about how to maintain my results going forward. I am still healing, but I got just what I wanted, a younger version of me. I had had a good run as a somewhat attractive woman for many years, but at 75 could no longer enjoy what I saw in the mirror. This surgery ensures my last years will be celebrating what I see there. I look like my 55-year-old self, which wasn't bad at all! Can't thank everyone-surgeon, surgical nurses, anesthesiologist, and admin staff enough. Now I know why everyone said in advance, you won't be sorry.

Negative Plastic Surgery Experience…read more I'm sharing disappointing experience with Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery. In Jun 2024, I underwent a lower face and neck lift. I had also paid for earlobe reconstruction. This procedure was forgotten due to missing paperwork. At follow-ups, concerns about loose chin skin were met with suggestions to wait or try costly treatments like Genius microneedling ($2,550). When dissatisfaction persisted, further surgeries were discouraged and more expensive treatments were recommended. In Jan 2025, after continued dissatisfaction, Dr. Reps Sundin advised that no additional procedures should be performed under the chin. He recommended a Browlift and Upper Blepharoplasty, with an estimated total cost of $10,650. When I told Dr. Sundin that I had recently retired, he said that I am now on a fixed income. His comment implied that I probably could not afford his services anymore. In Feb 2025, another plastic surgeon in Richmond Va, commented that my neck should have been pulled tighter.

Oh. My. Goodness! My experience with Dr. Stanwix and his team has been nothing short of phenomenal…read more From the moment I reached out to Dr. Stanwix's office in August of 2023, to the successful completion of my En Bloc surgery (with lift and fat transfer) in January 2024, I have felt completely cared for by this remarkable surgeon and the team of consummate professionals he has surrounded himself with. Every interaction I had with Dr. Stanwix and his team, whether by phone or in-person, left me feeling heard, seen, and understood, as I made the decision to remove my implants and start a new chapter on my physical health and wellness journey. Kind, courteous, knowledgeable, attentive to detail, supportive of my concerns, were hallmarks of my interactions not only with Dr. Stanwix, but with each member of his team. Dr. Stanwix did an amazing job performing my surgery and was an absolute pleasure to interact with. Many talented doctors, particularly specialists, do amazing work, but fall short when it comes to support and communication with their patients. This is certainly not the case with Dr. Stanwix! I have complete confidence that as I continue to heal I will be welcome to contact him with any follow-up questions or concerns I might have, and that he won't make me feel like a nuisance, in fact, he has personally encouraged me to stay in touch with him and his team and to reach out if or whenever I feel the need. This kind of post-op follow-up should be the norm, but all too often it doesn't seem to be. Thank you, again, Dr. Stanwix and many thanks to your lovely team of professionals that collaborate with you and have clearly been inspired by your caring demeanor and professional integrity! You have certainly set the bar extremely high for any other healthcare professional that I will consider entrusting my health, time, and money to.
