I highly recommend Dr. Newman. He is very skilled and his attention to detail is reassuring. He did an eyelid procedure on me 15 years ago. My eyes looked good then and they still do! I have such confidence in his work that I recommended him to a young male relative who just had the same procedure and his eyes look great too!

I had a “mommy makeover” from Dr. Fryer and I could not be happier about my results. I have a smooth and tight body with no extra skin. Basically the body of a 20 year old! lol
I’ve referred several friends that have gone to Dr. Fryer and they were also over the moon about their results. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

It has been a year since my “mommy makeover” with Dr. Maglic and I can say with absolute certainty I would do it all over again! I am beyond pleased with my results but what made the experience worthwhile is the skill, talent, and kindness from Dr. Maglic. I 1000% recommend him and his staff at Premier Plastic Surgery.

I could not rave enough about Dr. Watterson and my experience with his office!!!! I have gone to multiple consults debating a tummy tuck over the years and after a friend was raving about Dr Watterson I thought I would give it one more try. I'm from out of state and after one visit I knew he was the doc for me! I have referred anyone I can think of to him. Even my MIL who was dropping me off for surgery met him once and as she left the office she booked a consult for herself ha! He has the best bedside manner and every nurse I've worked with has been just great! Do not hesitate to visit Dr. Watterson- 10/10 rec

Dr. Magic and his staff had a great bedside manner. He explained things very well so I could understand them. All in all everything went well. The only drawback is that he couldn't finish the job due to a prior surgery and the mesh that was used.

I just recently had a breast augmentation and lift by Dr. Watterson, and could not be happier with the whole experience! From consultations with the staff, the surgery, and the final product! Dr. Watterson and his staff were so amazing to work with, and made the experience perfect! Would highly recommend him to anyone!
