I had a tummy tuck, muscle repair and liposuction to my flanks after a 50-pound weight loss. I couldn't be happier with the care I received from Dr. Stoeckel. I was concerned about the recovery because of my age, but I feel like my recovery was right where it needed to be. I am almost 4 months post op. I was able to return to work after 2 weeks of my procedure. I would also like to say that his front office staff was always so pleasant and professional. I also had the pleasure of meeting Janell (patient coordinator) and she was nothing short of incredible, she explains everything as far as charges for the procedure and you leave with no questions. When I went in for my post op visit with Rachael everything was explained in detail and I left excited for the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Stoeckel and Wake Plastic Surgery if you are contemplating plastic surgery. read more

Eight corrective surgeries later, and my body filled with infection I still am reminded every day what a nightmare my choice was. I too contracted MRSA and Sepsis. Please report your incident to the North Carolina board of Surgeons. read more

The staff was marvelous, but my "lift with SLIGHT reduction" was very disappointing. I was a full C cup before surgery, and now am AA! I accept some responsibility for not being more specific than "slight". Surgery went well, but I developed complications, including a MRSA infection that created a hole in my left breast that constantly drained fluid. I contacted the office when the incision started draining and was told the doctor was out of the country and there was no one that could help me. I had to go to an urgent care center to pack the wound and give me instruction on how to change dressings (which involved inserting gauze into the hole). I went to my own physician for wound cultures when it didn't seem to be healing..that's when the MRSA was discovered (commonly caused by lack of proper sterile techniques during surgery). I had to do dressings for over 2 months until it healed, then the breast developed tethering (some lower breast tissue sticking to upper abdomen). I had a revision for this, but that breast is even smaller due to creating a new scar and cutting away the first (and another charge for this correction). read more

Hope Huang is who I have been with and she is the best. I am very new to these treatments and she made me feel comfortable to ask questions. I have always struggled with ingrown hair and a dark bikini area. The laser hair removal has been the most amazing experience. I feel comfortable in a bathing suit again! Also my face looks great! read more

Wake Plastic Surgery is amazing. Hands down the best customer service and team that I have come across. They genuinely care about their customers. They are extremely honest and always look out for your best interest. Dr. Stoeckel performed a breast implant removal with lift and lipo around the rib cage. He did an AMAZING job! I mean amazing! I didn't even need the pain medication (aside from ibuprofen) afterwards. His work is beautiful! I highly recommend this team! read more

I was botched and it is heart wrenching. I went back for a correction and it looks just as terrible and now I have pain forever where pleasure used to be. I asked specifically for one thing to be fixed and it was made worse. I could pay more to have the other surgeon fix them but the plan to fix doesn't sound like it will be sufficient and will still cost thousands more. I want to believe that it would work but it doesn't sound right. I will have to go somewhere else to see what the plan will be. If I'm already going to have to pay thousands more, I should probably go elsewhere. Thousands of dollars to be botched and in pain for the rest of my life. read more

Dr. Purcyzki repaired my ears and did a great job. Thanks again! This picture was taken right after my stitches were removed. read more

I had my first breast augmentation by Dr. Stoeckle in December 2017. He completely transformed the way my breast looked, I had to have reconstructive surgery along with a breast augmentation due to having tubular breast which is a very rare deformity. Surgeons do not come across my situation to often in their career and that's coming from Dr.Stoeckle. After my first breast augmentation we discussed size, I went from an A cup to a C cup. Due to him having to COMPLETELY change the shape of my breast to get me looking "normal",round, and perky a C cup (375cc saline implant) was the max my body could physically hold. During one of my later check ups I expressed to him how I wanted to be bigger and fuller. He then explained to me how tricky I was and the process it even took for me to look as great as I did. He and I both agreed since my skin has had a good amount of time to stretch he could definitely get me to the 600-650cc range. With out hesitation he wanted me to be happy with my results. I didn't want to go anywhere else, I know Dr.Stoeckle would get me to where I wanted to be safely and properly, my body just took time due to my original breast deformity which I kid you not nobody could ever tell I had tubular breast to begin with because he did such an amazing job the first time changing my shape. Janell and Dr.Stoeckle wanted to get me into surgery as soon as they could. I had my second breast augmentation June 28th, 2018 this past Thursday and WOW. That man is such a talented surgeon. He was able to fit 600cc silicone implants. Not only was he able to give me the size I wanted, he loosened some tissue so I would have more cleavage and brought my breast crease up just a few millimeters. On a scale of 1-10 my pain is a .5!!! I am beyond impressed. I'm flat out in love with my breast already, and it's only been 2 days, I can tell from my first augmentation they are going to be dropping so beautifully and be so full! I apologize for the rambling, I am just in awe with how little pain I have and how amazing my breast look! Dr.Stoeckle calls you from his personal cell phone just to chat with you to make sure you're okay! Vacation or no vacation he will call or text you back as soon as he can. Not only is this man such an amazing surgeon he's so caring about his patience and so are all of the nurses, anesthesiologist, and the front desk so kind! Enough rambling but all I have to say is wake plastic surgery was a wonderful experience for me and hopefully you love it as well and decide to have Dr. Stoeckle transform you! I'm happy to say that Dr.Todd Stoeckle did my breast augmentation and I will recommend him to anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery! read more

Everyone here is awesome and wonderfully amazing!! I can't say enough about this group of people. I've had a few different procedures and so has other family members. Dr. Stoeckel is amazing and has been truly blessed with an awesome gift! read more

Great care from the doctor. Excellent office staff. I highly recommend taking your teen to Patty in the office for acne skin care. Patty recommended that my daughter try over-the-counter products after she had a dermabrasion. She spent a great deal of time explaining why taking care of your skin reduces the incidence of acne. The results have been incredible. read more

I recently went into Wake Plastic Surgery (WPS) for a consultation for breast reduction surgery, with the intent to apply for coverage from my insurance company. I had already researched the procedure & the requirements for my insurance & compiled a small amount of documentation proving that I met all of their criteria for coverage, though I was aware approval for this surgery is often denied & I may need to gather more documentation if it was denied. When I went in for my consultation on 3/7 I made it clear that I was hoping to have this surgery as soon as possible & ideally be mostly recovered before summer. Therefore, time was of the essence. Dr. Stoeckel himself was polite & thorough with the consultation, & took his time explaining everything to me &answering all of my questions. I liked what he had to say & decided to move forward. Immediately after handing my documentation to the insurance coordinator I was given negativity. I was asked with an attitude if she should expect more documentation (at this point she had not even read anything I handed her), to which I said no, I would like to apply with this as it shows that I meet all requirements per the insurance guidelines. She then told me that she would submit it the next day, or even that afternoon if she had time. I agreed, checked out, & left. Over the next week I called my insurance company almost daily to check on the approval request & was consistently being told that they had not had a request sent in. By Thursday of the following week, over a week after I was seen & told it would be submitted, my insurance still had not received anything from WPS. I immediately contacted the office to ask why it had not been sent in & was told that the insurance coordinator was out of the office for the rest of the week & she would call me when she returned. Finally on 3/20, nearly 2 full weeks after my consultation, I received a call back telling me that she would submit my application for approval that afternoon or the next day. 3/21 I received a confirmation call that it had been submitted, 13 days after I was originally told it was going to be submitted. I began the waiting game again, waiting for a determination from my insurance. Another full week passed & on 3/29 I finally got a voicemail from her saying it had been denied. As it was after 5pm when she called, I could not call back and discuss the determination. On Monday 4/2 I gathered the more specific documentation the insurance company wanted, &called her back on 4/3 to tell her I would be sending it to her. She asked for details and when I told her what I would be sending, she stated point blank "It's still going to be denied, do you even want me to send that in?". There was no offer of assistance, no positivity such as "Oh that documentation will really help, but X-Y-Z notes would be even better." Only immediate negativity. At this point I had been dealing with her chaos, lack of professionalism, & delayed actions for a month & was tired of wasting my time on someone who clearly was not going to help me in any way get approved, but instead just continued to shoot down all efforts I made. I contacted another office that I had reached out to when deciding who to schedule a consultation with. I spoke to them on 4/3, had my consultation on 4/9, & received my approval from my insurance for surgery on 4/10. This to me only proves that the insurance coordinator at WPS is failing to do her job and truly help patients get their approval. I gave them the exact same documentation and information I was planning to send to her, that she claimed was not good enough. In less than a week, the other practice was able to do what WPS had failed to do in over a month of time. Please, if you were denied insurance coverage for a reduction through WPS, do not give up. Please go see another surgeon with a more knowledgable and helpful staff. While I had no complaint about my consultation with Dr Stoeckel, because of his insurance coordinator he lost a potential patient, delayed my surgery for over a month, and I lost money that I feel should be refunded. I should not have had to pay for a second consultation. Had she done her job, I would have been having surgery with WPS & that money would have applied to my surgery there. After trying to reach out about my concerns & the terrible experience, I found there is no direct contact method for the doctor. No way to email, call, or leave a voicemail for him. When he did call back & I explained the service I was displeased with, I was refused a refund & asked where I transferred to, then told that "There may be some surgeons in the area as good as me, but I've had people come in unhappy with their results." He tried to make me second guess my decision & then he put down other area surgeons. Appalling!! After this experience, I would absolutely not recommend this office to anyone. read more

So as a Male I never thought about any plastic surgery but I had cyst in the bottom of my chin that seemed to flare up more and more often. So I decided to look into having it removed. If it were located anywhere else I may have tried to do it myself( which no doubt would have been a mess). It was about as basic as one would image, numbing agent, cut, snip out, stitch closed...Done! Very reasonably priced and a very friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

Recently, I attended a large social gathering and was asked by several women why I had so few winkles ( I am close to 59) The answer is Patty Myers, Medical Aesthetician at Wake Plastic Surgery. If you are looking for expert skin care, someone that gives you honest advice, and always seeks the best products, while understanding that budgets matter - you need to see Patty. My skin has never looked better and after Patty provides a skin care treatment, I even leave the practice feeling better, too! I live in Clayton and could certainly receive a Medical Aesthetician's services there, however I make the trip to Cary because I know I am being treated by the best. It is obvious to me by simply looking in the mirror and listening to the comments of others! Patty's quality skills always equals great results! read more

I am very excited to be able to share the wonerful experience that I have each time that I visit this office. The staff is amazing! They are always courteous and glad that I am there. They are also very respectful of my time. Do not hesitate to call this office for any procedure or skin care concern that you may have. I cannot express how satisfied I am with this business and their genuine care. Thank you Wake Plastic Surgery for all that you do!! read more

Superior customer service!!Patty was very professional and knowledgeable during my visit. I purchased a living social package for 6 sessions of hair laser removal and due to various circumstances only had 1 of them. Despite a no-refund policy from living social the staff of Wake Plastic Surgery was willing to work with. They provided me with beauty products of the finest quality along with a complimentary consultation with an aesthetician. I will definitely recommend this business! read more

Since I was a teenager I dreamed of getting a breast reduction. I was in pain constantly, struggled to find clothing that fit, and just felt out of proportion. My self esteem suffered greatly, as well. In 2017, before my 41st birthday, I finally decided to give myself a life changing gift. I scoured the web for plastic surgeons all over NC and SC for one who wasn't only a surgeon, but also an artist. Many post before and after pictures, which is so helpful in finding the doctor who creates the certain style breast contour that you like (compare different surgeons work and you'll see what I'm talking about). The reduction technique that he mostly uses only leaves a lollipop shaped scar instead of an anchor and helps give a lift that other techniques don't, which is beyond wonderful. Not only does Dr. Stoeckel do amazing work, but his team is outstanding. At first my reduction was declined by my health insurance, so Janell worked to contact BCBS and set up an appointment with them to talk to the doctor to push for approval. It worked! The whole team there is wonderful, very professional, and friendly. My reduction was on 11/7/17. The surgery went beautifully and I am absolutely in love with my results. They look better than I thought was possible considering what I started with. The shape is gorgeous (I feel 25 years younger), nipple placement is perfect, scarring is minimal (use silicone tape to help this along), and my back pain and headaches are gone. To boot, I feel and look gorgeous! Dermal fillers to get rid of my under eye bags are next! Wake Plastic Surgery and Dr. Stoeckel have my business for life! read more

It's been a year and a half since my procedure with Dr.Stoeckel and I couldn't be happier! I had a minor complication and it was treated quickly and efficiently. The staff was always friendly and welcoming. My only regret is that I did not have the procedure done sooner! Thank you! read more

I'm giving 2 stars based strictly on the cancellation policy and customer service of the practice manager, Lisa. I booked an appointment for a consult on a Monday at 1:45. I had something come up on Sunday that I could not change. I called Sunday and left a message to let them know I had to cancel and that I would call again Monday morning to reiterate the fact that I needed to cancel my appointment. I got a call saying I would be charged for the cancellation, $50. I called and spoke to the front desk who transferred me to Lisa. I told her I completely understand why they have a cancellation policy. My work place, has the exact same policy. However I did not understand that if you have a Monday appointment you need to call by noon on Friday. This policy I'm assuming makes many clients upset as you cannot always know Friday morning if you have to cancel a Monday afternoon appointment, life happens. Lisa just kept saying that it was in the email they sent. I did go back and yes it is in the email. However, I feel like when I was on the phone booking the appointment it should have been stated verbally that I would need to call by Friday morning if I would like to cancel,because again.. life happens. Lisa was very condescending and just repeatedly cutting me off to explain again why they have that policy as if I were a child. She never even bothered to understand why I needed to cancel. Again, we have this same policy at my workplace but we are very understanding and not condescending. I'm sure the doctors do wonderful work but they have my $50, not my business. read more

Absolutely the best place in town. Dr. Stoeckel and his team are amazing. I feel so comfortable with him as my doctor. I have been a patient for 3 years. I have used a lot of their skin care services as well as surgeries with Dr. Stoeckel and I would never go anywhere else! I highly recommend you check wake plastic surgery out before going anywhere else... You will be happy you did! read more

All I can say is WOW! Everyone in this office from Dr. Stoeckel to his nurse, assistants, office staff, etc., are wonderful. I had a breast reduction along with a cyst removed from in front of my ear. I had seen an ENT doctor from Duke who had looked at my cyst several times and did xrays and cat scans and still was unsure about removing it...I felt like I had an earache all the time...ugh!!! Dr. Stoeckel did a great job with both procedures. I could not be happier with the outcome! Dr. Stoeckel is extremely easy to talk to, will answer all of your questions without making you feel rushed or silly or embarrassed. I LOVE THEM ALL and will go back for other procedures without hesitation! I would highly recommend this office! read more

I gave Wake Plastic Surgery 5 stars for many reasons. The staff there is outstanding and they take their valuable time with you and respect my time as well. I have never felt rushed through an appointment. Patty Myers knows and can answer any questions you have about skin care and is excellent with that and different procedures that will help your individual needs. I must say the nurses that do the different dermal fillers will be honest with you and address your concerns as well. I really did my research before going to Dr. Stoeckel's years ago and would never go anywhere else! Patty recently did the MicroLaserPeel and did an excellent job and answered all my questions and saw me back for regular follow ups as well. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an honest and compassionate plastic surgery team. read more

Had a great consult with Dr. Stockel. He listens and has good opinions about my procedure. Cheers also to a great staff, they are very personable. Pre op coming up soon so excited. Thank you so much Dr. Stockel and staff !! read more

I went in for a consultation and instantly I felt very comfortable with Dr. Stoeckel. He explained the procedure in detail. He did not sound scripted like the previous doctor I visited. The staff was very helpful and professional. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction on my inner thighs on Mar 29th. That morning I was anxious but as soon as I met the surgical staff I felt at ease and was ver calm. I can't remember much when I woke up in recovery but my husband told me I was all smiles all the home. I was expecting to be in pain and miserable but to my surprise I was good. I was in some pain at times but not to bad. I wasn't miserable at all. The experience was great. It helped that everything Dr. Stoeckel explained, what to except after surgery was on point. So far I'm loving my results and it's just going to get better. I will praise Dr. Stoeckel and staff to everyone I know because they certainly earned it. Can't wait til summer. read more

I highly recommend going to see Dr. Stoeckle. The customer service is excellent and Dr. Stoeckle is very professional and very knowledgeable. He makes you feel comfortable during your visit and he is very easy to talk to. read more

I can not say enough about this entire staff! Everyone is fabulous! I'd been considering surgery for years to put back everything lost after nursing my babies! I don't know why I waited! The doctor's patience and kindness are unmatched and all the ladies in the front office were always so willing to help and answer any questions I had! I recommend this practice over all others in the area to anyone considering plastic surgery! read more

I went to Dr. Stoeckel because I had breast augmentation 17 years prior from another surgeon, and I wanted my implants removed. The implants I had received 17 years ago were oversized, leaking and sagging. When I met with Dr. Stoeckel he was extremely thorough in explaining my options to me and answering any and all questions I had. He never made me feel like I had to have any specific procedure or pressured me like a sales person, like the couple previous places I had gone for consultation. I was confident in what I wanted done before I saw him, and after consulting with him, I was definite. He was conservative in not only his approach about my situation, but also in his statements regarding what I could expect my body to look like after surgery. My surgery results exceeded my expectations! Even after my procedure, Dr. Stoeckel was sure to personally see that I was mending well and didn't have any problems. He was incredibly professional at all times yet very understanding and caring. His front office staff Janelle and Lisa are always so pleasant and helpful. It's almost as if I was visiting friends. The nursing staff were as competent and caring as Dr. Stoeckel and the office staff. I honestly can't say enough about how positive and amazing my experience with this practice has been in every possible way. And the best part is that Wake Plastic Surgery was significantly less expensive in cost than the other three facilities I had consulted with prior. If there were a ten star rating, I would give it to Wake Plastic Surgery because each and every interaction I've had with them has been exemplary. read more

I visited Patty, their medical esthetician, for laser hair removal and I have been really thrilled with the results. I was walked through the entire process before starting the procedure. Patty also explained the hair growth cycle, so that I could medically understand why it was important not to tweeze between appointments. She had a lot of helpful tips and tricks to help with the process in between appointments (I had to go every month and during appointments I could shave, but not wax). The laser pain is very manageable (compared to a small pinch) and it goes away within two seconds. I really started to see results by the third treatment. I have one treatment left and I think the hairs will be completely gone after that treatment. Patty is really great about reminding me at each appointment what I canNOT do in between treatments. I had always wanted to explore laser hair removal, but wasn't sure about the price or process and I am SO glad I went to Wake Plastic Surgery. I felt a lot more comfortable having this done in a real doctor's office as opposed to a "spa" setting. And I was pleasantly surprised that the price was reasonable. The breakouts and ingrown hairs that I used to experience are gone and the laser hair treatment has improved my skin tone and self confidence. Highly recommend. read more
