I genuinely do not know where to begin because Dr. Pakeman deserves far more recognition than a…read moresimple five-star review. personally consulting with numerous plastic surgeons, I can confidently say that Dr. Pakeman is truly one of a kind. My experience with him has been nothing short of life-changing.
Before finding Dr. Pakeman, I visited several plastic surgery practices, many with impressive reputations, beautiful offices, and significant social media followings. Unfortunately, the experiences were often incredibly disappointing. I would wait weeks for an appointment, arrive with questions and concerns, only to spend approximately five minutes with an assistant or coordinator. In some offices, I never even met the surgeon I was considering trusting with my face and body. I was rushed through consultations and practically ushered out the door. It felt as though I was simply another potential transaction rather than a person making an important medical decision.
It was discouraging, especially because cosmetic surgery is such a personal and vulnerable experience. How can someone confidently place their health, appearance, and trust in a surgeon they have never even had the opportunity to speak with?
And then I found Dr. Pakeman.
There is something remarkably different about him. Beyond his surgical abilities, what makes him exceptional is the humanity behind his profession.
I underwent facial fat grafting, Lipo 360, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and breast augmentation with Dr. Pakeman. These procedures were deeply personal decisions, and I cannot adequately express how much this experience has meant to me.
A doctor can have prestigious credentials, a luxurious office, and an impressive portfolio, but none of those things can replace quality, experience, compassion, integrity, and the ability to make patients feel respected.
When I say this experience changed my life, I mean it wholeheartedly. This was not simply about changing my physical appearance. It was about doing something meaningful for myself, investing in my confidence, and making a decision that represented another chapter of personal growth.
There is something incredibly empowering about looking in the mirror and feeling a renewed appreciation for yourself.
I also believe the emotional side of cosmetic surgery is often overlooked and your relationship with ALL of your doctors is based on ENERGY! As patients we come into these offices with personal stories, insecurities, hopes, and expectations. Some of us spent years saving for their procedures, some of us have spent countless hours researching and trying to find someone they can trust. Every single one of those patients deserves to be treated with dignity.
Unfortunately, my previous consultation experiences showed me that this is not always the standard.
No patient should feel like an inconvenience for asking questions. No one should feel pressured into surgery or made to believe that five minutes with a coordinator is sufficient when considering an operation that could permanently change their appearance.
Finding Dr. Pakeman reminded me why the physician-patient relationship matters so much.
I hope anyone researching cosmetic surgery understands that choosing the right surgeon should involve much more than looking at before-and-after photographs or counting social media followers. Pay attention to how a practice makes you feel. Pay attention to whether your concerns are respected. Most importantly, never compromise your standards.
I have tremendous admiration for Dr. Pakeman, I do not believe physicians deserve extraordinary praise simply for performing a service they are paid to provide. That level of recognition should be earned through the quality of their work, their professionalism, and the lasting impression they leave on their patients.
Dr. Pakeman has earned mine.
