I’m one week post-op from a tummy tuck and liposuction (stomach and hips) with Dr. Shatkin and I am so impressed. Even with the swelling, my results already look amazing and far beyond what I expected this early on. Seeing my new body in the mirror actually brought me to tears. From the very beginning, Dr. Shatkin and his entire staff were incredibly comforting, supportive, and professional. I never felt rushed, and every question I had was answered thoroughly. Even on the day of surgery, he was so kind and reassuring while I was on the table, which made such a difference in calming my nerves. His attention to detail and the level of care he provides both before and after the procedure are outstanding. Also, his pricing is fair, his quality of his work speaks for itself, and I’m already planning to return for future procedures. I’m truly so happy I chose him. I highly recommend Dr. Shatkin and his team!
