I really love Dr. Whiteman. I was very excited for him to do my blepharoplasty and neck/chin lipo. He is a very professional. He is an excellent doctor and I like his office staff. The reason for the three stars is because although he did a competent job, he was too conservative on the amount of skin he removed from my eyelids and left them still looking saggy. It was definitely an improvement, but was not the phenomenal result that I was hoping for. At 50, with good skin, I think that the result I was hoping for was achievable. After two years, it already looks like I need to have them done again. My neck was also an improvement, but not nearly as taut as it should've been all things considered. One side was left more flabby than the other side. I understand these things can happen during surgery and nothing is guaranteed. However, I do feel that a different surgeon could've given me a better result. So while I would not recommend him to family or friends, I would also not discourage people from using him because I have seen other results that are better than mine. read more

I cannot endorse this surgeon for augmentation. I had him replace my emplants and I preface there was absolutely nothing wrong with them other than age--it was just time to replace them. The result I ended up with was I looked like I had never worn a bra a day in my life, they were sagging down about three inches past where they should have been and one was bigger than the other. At my post op visit I didn't say one word but stand there and let him look at his work and tell me what he thought. He admitted it was bad, he tried to say one implant had deflated somewhat and also said somehow they fell out of the pocket. He want me to give it a few weeks to wait to see if it corrected itself. Oh ok like maybe a miracle would happen, or maybe I would get hit by a car-die and you would never see me again. Few weeks later I show back up and it's not better, rather worse. He says he will take me back to surgery to perhaps fill them up with more saline. I interjected and said NO, if they have deflated there is an issue with them as well as the fact they are sagging down. His office then tells me I have to pay the surgery fee of $1,587. Umm no, you messed up and messed up bad this is on you. A bit of argument ensues and I said bottom line "but for the surgeon not doing it properly I wouldn't be going back under the knife--I am not paying you to correct your mistake." I scheduled the re-implant surgery and instead of Whiteman replacing them, he just filled them up with more saline. I still look bad, really bad, even worse than before of course because it's just a bigger mistake and am going to have it redone properly somewhere else. I'm not even sure what the legalities are that I signed surgical papers for a re-implantation and he decided without my consent while I was under anesthesia to just add more saline, sew me up and call it a day?? Zero endorsement from me. read more

I highly recommend the care and expertise of Dr Whiteman. I am so pleased with my results and the love and care of the team is just amazing! Thank you Southern Plastic Surgery for such a life changing experience. read more

As someone who has always had a bit of antipathy toward any sort of plastic surgery, I was surprised to find myself in the place of feeling it was my best option after numerous miscarriages and bad lifestyle choices (Big Mac, anyone?) that left my stomach protruding and my confidence low. After months of research on both types of treatment and doctors, I decided upon Dr Whiteman and his team. Immediately, I liked Dr Whiteman's down-to-earth demeanor and kind approach. I also liked that his team are not overly 'plastic' looking, as are the staff in some surgical offices. Both during and after the surgery, I found Beth, Jackie and the others to be empathetic, patient, and straightforward with their guidance and support. And Dr Whiteman kept a good sense of humor with me, as I am not an easy patient. The healing period from my tummy tuck was brutal. I am a bit of a drama queen at the best of times, so I just found recovery much more difficult than I even imagined. BUT...it was totally worth it. My body confidence is back and so is my mental positivity. Dr Whiteman's work is natural and not the least bit extreme. I feel beautiful again and so enjoy wearing my clothes again. I feel as though I have regained 10 years of my life. Thank you, Dr Whiteman and Team. read more

I have seen Dr. Whiteman for various procedures for almost 15 years, starting in my mid-20s. He is truly a cosmetic artist and is also a straight-shooter, which helps with avoiding unrealistic expectations and wasting money on things that aren't necessary or helpful. He is fun, positive, and really amazing at what he does, always leaving me more confident and smiling. Those looking for a deal should reconsider cosmetic procedures in favor of other options. It's not worth being botched and/or physically harmed to save money. While a bit costly, the financial obligation for Southern Plastic Surgery's work is a small price to pay for sustainable, personalized results from the best in the industry. If you want to be the most attractive version of yourself at any age, invest in Dr. Whiteman. You'll never think twice about the cost of feeling confident and comfortable each time you look in the mirror, and the value will quickly be returned in the compliments you will receive. Five stars for Southern Plastic Surgery! read more

I saw Dr. Whiteman in 2015 for minor acne scars on my face. The technique he performed caused the cuts he made on my face to heal in the open position. At the follow up appointment I told him that it did not appear my scars were healing properly. He told me all was well. I went back again because the my scars looked like gashes and holes in my face. Dr. Whitman told me that he stitched the wounds too close together which caused the skin to pull open. I was able to get my money back. He later offered to use a new permanent filler on my skin...I would have been his first patient with this product. I declined the offer as my face was already scared by his initial work and I simply did not trust his skills and abilities as a physician. Since 2015 I have spent thousands of dollars trying to correct Dr. Whitman's gashes and holes that he put on my face. I have had some improvements but my scars are still very noticeable 5 years later. I am going to see a scar specialist in Florida to hopefully correct Dr Whitman's mistakes. I also have a dear friend who had a horrible experience with Dr Whitman years ago as he caused permanent arm scars following a surgery. I have never posted a review but he permanently damaged my face and I don't want this to happen to anyone else. read more

I really appreciate Dr. whiteman.. He is a great plastic surgeon and one that gives his patients as much time as they require. I went to him after learning he did Nene. Leakers PS. He is kind, caring and completely competamt. I took my mother and she is now a fill time patient. He even performed lower bleph without anesthesia per her request and the results were fantastic, would def recommend. read more

I just can't say enough nice things about Dr. Whiteman, Jackie, Beth, Annette and Michelle. TOP NOTCH care from all. And Gwinnett Hospital staff is fabulous. I was taken care of by ALL the nurses before, during and after my procedures. I've had my breast augmentation a few years back with Dr. Whiteman and just did a mini facelift. My results really speak for themselves! He's truly a gifted, skilled surgeon and I'll always use him and refer my friends and family to him. read more

Dr Whiteman has been my plastic surgeon for the past year helping me with Botox and I couldn't be happier. Their staff (Sara especially at the front desk) always gets me in almost immediately and is such an easy process. Jackie the office manager along with the other staff are 5 star professional and VERY helpful with answering all of my questions with a great deal of knowledge. From my very first visit I was treated like family and not just a patient. This to me is what has made my experience with Dr Whiteman and his staff so unique compared to the other centers I have been to. I will never go anywhere else. My results with the procedures have been beyond my expectations. I get so many compliments on my skin for my age that has really helped me with feeling like I'm putting my best foot forward with confidence. Thank you to Dr Whiteman and his staff!!! Great Job!! read more

I've been going to Dr Whiteman since I was diagnosed with breast cancer back in July. He and his staff are the most professional and caring group of people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. They made a very traumatic experience less stressful and easier for me to get through. They speak to me in terms I understand with all the facts to make decisions easy. I never look forward to doctors appointments, but I really enjoy everyone at this office as they feel like family. I highly recommend them for anything. In one word they are AWESOME!!! Thanks for everything. Anne read more

I recently had rhinoplasty and after doing research for about a year. I am so glad that I had found Dr. Whiteman. He and his staff are the best. I shared with Dr. Whiteman my concerns and the results I wanted as a result of the rhinoplasty. It is now 7 days after the surgery. I just had my stitches removed, and the results are beyond my expectations..the results are natural, but exactly what I hoped to see with the rhinoplasty. I highly recommend this practice. They are personable, professional and most important knowledgeable. read more

My experience with Dr. David Whiteman and his team of stellar professionals has exceeded my expectations. Earlier this year, my primary doctor suspected some health issues after conducting a thorough physical exam. She referred me to many different specialists. It was incredibly challenging, given the fact that I had no clue as to where I would begin. One of my diagnoses' required further examination by a plastic surgeon. The same diagnosis was confirmed by several plastic surgeons to whom I went for second, third, fourth, (and yes, even fifth) opinions. I was told that surgery was imperative and time was of the essence. The stress and fear this created for me was overwhelming. I visited highly rated surgeons to find the "right fit". I noticed a pattern in each office; my initial consultation would be great; however, after the initial appointment, the communication would either cease, become contradictory, or just plain ineffective. None of the surgeons or their teams communicated with the other physicians whose care I was under to ensure quality care, and also, to assist me in knowing when to schedule other procedures I was required to have by different specialists. I am so glad I followed my instincts and waited. I was not going to settle for less when it came to my health. Based on his positive reviews, I called Dr. Whiteman's office. I was delighted to speak to Jackie Madison. Not only was Ms. Madison incredibly friendly, but also, knowledgeable, empathetic, reassuring, and always available to answer any and all questions that came up. At my initial consultation, Ms. Madison remembered me and took the time to walk out of her office to greet me. She seemed genuinely happy to see me. She really made a difference and made me feel as if I mattered. The office was tastefully decorated and squeaky clean. The waiting room was not piled up with patients who were overbooked and had to wait over two hours. Dr. Whiteman stole the show. A very humble gentleman, he blew my mind with his humor, wit, and knowledge. He was "to the point." I appreciate these qualities. He was the first surgeon who did not immediately blurt out a "medical diagnosis" for my condition. Rather, he calmly explained it to me in verbiage the average person without a medical background would understand. I appreciated his delivery and tact. He immediately earned my respect. Last week I had the surgery. It went without a hitch! Dr. Whiteman was phenomenal. Since surgery was on a Friday, his nurse Beth, was kind enough to give me her cell phone number in the event something came up. Dr. Whiteman did the same. I've had Ms. Madison's cell phone number since my first visit! From beginning to end, this is a first class operation! I am so very grateful I waited to make certain I chose the perfect doctor. It made ALL the difference! Now I can say I have a new "medical family"! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Whiteman for years for Botox and had my eyes done over 5 years ago. When I decided that this would be the year for a tummy tuck and breast implants, I knew Dr. Whiteman was the only one to perform the surgery. He and his staff are extremely competent and professional and I was confident that I was in good hands. The results were outstanding, and although the procedure itself was a bit overwhelming, I could not be happier with my newly "tuned up" almost 60 year old body!!!! read more

I had consultations with several plastic surgeons prior to choosing Dr.Whiteman. A couple of doctors recommended against moving forward as I would not be pleased with the aesthetic result. I liked that Dr.Whiteman wanted me to see another specialist to see if I could accomplish what I wanted in a less invasive manner. Ultimately I could not and Dr. Whiteman then thoroughly explained my options and possible outcomes. I am very happy with the results. Which is most important. The office staff was also professional and efficient whenever I needed anything. Definitely a very positive experience. read more

David Whiteman is a surgical god. At my initial consultation, we sat down and talked about my goals. He really listened to what I was saying, then he took some measurements, and we formulated a plan that was right for me. At this visit, I was most impressed with his level of professionalism. His office staff was bright, friendly, and unpretentious. You see, I had already had a consult with another Atlanta surgeon, and I had even scheduled surgery with her. During the time between that pre-op and surgery day, I had two friends tell me that they were not happy with their experiences with her. Even though she refused to refund my deposit, I cancelled, and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Whiteman's consultation was on another level completely - he and Beth (MA) were much more thorough, taking measurements, etc, which is something that the other surgeon never did. Until I met Dr. Whiteman, I was in the dark about what a real surgery consultation was supposed to be like. He thoroughly explained risks/benefits (rather than just having me read them on a tablet), told me what to expect through every phase, and when I left the appointment, I was confident that I had made the right decision in choosing him for my surgery. The operation went smoothly (at a small hospital with attentive staff), and I received the same level of care at my post-op visits as I did on day one. I knew precisely what to expect as I recovered, so there were never any grey areas of confusion. Now, six weeks later, I am LOVING my results. I feel that I look the way I am "supposed to--" the way I told Dr. Whiteman I wanted to look. He gave me EXACTLY what I wanted, and I am so comfortable in my skin now. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Whiteman over the other surgeon. I would choose him again and again. He is a phenomenal surgeon, a good person, and also a really nice guy. read more

I'm 44 yrs old and have 4 children. For years I thought about getting a tummy tuck but never thought it was possible for me( always in mommy mode) Took the chance and went for a consultation with Dr. Whiteman you know "curiosity", before I even left the office I knew it was finally time for ME! The staff was welcoming and went above and beyond making me feel comfortable. Jackie,Beth and Sarah make a great team. Dr. Whiteman is beyond AMAZING! I had a tummy tuck and a breast lift(with fat transfer) and I look like I'm 21 again (who has 4 children?.. LOL) My confidence is back and I couldn't be happier with Dr Whiteman and his work. He has a gift and uses it well. He totally aims to please! I couldn't be happier with my results! I recommend if your even thinking about a mommy make over or any other procedure that Dr. Whietman be your ONLY choice!.... M.Francis read more

This Dr Performed a breast reduction on me and performed a completely different method on each breast. My breasts are not even, and one is larger than the other. They tell you that this will probably be the case (asymmetry) but performing a completely different method on each one? It's like after he finished one, and was worried he was going to miss his golf game and started rushing to finish up. When I went in for a check up after the surgery he said "I know they are a little different but they're different in the crease underneath your breast." Really? Back then I was young and didn't speak up for myself and was just so happy to downsize that I didn't say anything. BUT did I really want him to operate on me again?! Talk about between a rock and a hard place. He did Nene's nose on Atlanta Housewives, maybe he should stick with noses. His bedside manner is horrible. He is not warm, does not listen and is just in it to make the money. I hate that he can get away with this. I don't how he can get any good reviews. My surgery was done 10 years ago, maybe he has gotten better since then. Do not see this doctor for plastic surgery. read more

I am writing my review early as I am only 2 weeks post surgery. My entire experience has been very positive from the consultation, follow-up phone calls to answer my questions, encounters with the staff members, the smooth surgery experience and the first follow-up appointment. Dr. Whiteman has showed genuine interest in my desired results and listened to my expectations. His staff has been wonderful, courteous and honest about the process and helped me to discern my feelings about my own personal outcome. read more

Dr. Whiteman is one of my favorite doctors!!! I had rhinoplasty and I love my new nose! If you want a great experience along with a professional team, see Dr. Whiteman at Southern Plastic Surgery. He made my experience one of the best experiences of my life! read more

I absolutely love Dr. Whiteman and his staff at Southern Plastic Surgery. I have been going to see him for Botox and Juvederm injections for about 4 years and when I wanted to have my old breast augmentation "re-done", he was my 1st and only choice. I had a breast lift, implant exhange and some liposuction done and the results are amazing. The recovery was a little tougher than I expected, but seeing how things have healed has me thrilled beyond belief. I have recommended this practice to several friends and family members because I have always been treated like family here. I was also very impressed with Gwinnett Hospital Duluth and the outpatient surgical center. Top notch care & service. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. David Whiteman for over 10 years. I met Dr. David Whiteman at age 17 for a breast reduction due to health reasons from my doctor. My mother completely trusted him. Dr. David Whiteman did such a great job that I came back to him years later for a complete Mommy Makeover. It was customized to my liking once I spoke with Dr. David Whiteman. I got a Tummy Tuck+ Lipo to the abdomen+breast reduction+back lipo w/ fat transfer to the buttocks. I was very nervous about the amount of surgery I was receiving all at once however Dr. David Whiteman and his assistant, Jackie was very informative and encouraging all the way up to recovery! I received a diet plan after surgery from Dr. David Whiteman based on my weight loss goals and LOST EVEN MORE WEIGHT!! I recently came back for a revision. I got a revision to scar on Abdomen and breast+tummy tuck + backlift+skin removal underarms because of how much weight I lost from my previous surgery! Needless to say, I am extremely happy with my results so far! My friends and family already see a difference!! I would highly recommend Dr. David Whiteman to anyone!! Look no further you found your doctor! read more
