“I was beyond impressed with my experience at this doctor’s office. Dr. Alspaugh and staff are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated. Having the abdominalplasty with liposuction has given me a new look on life. I am loving my body.”
I have always wanted to have a breast augmentation just to feel better and more comfortable with myself. Now that I have gone through with it, I wish I did it sooner! Dr. Alspaugh did an amazing job, and he made me feel comfortable through the entire process. All my girlfriends compliment me and ask where I went, and I tell them without any hesitation! He is an amazing plastic surgeon!
In May of 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After discussing my options with my surgeon, I decided to have a double mastectomy with reconstruction. Dr. John Alspaugh was highly recommended to perform the reconstruction. After my initial meeting with Dr. Alspaugh, I felt very comfortable with his professionalism and compassion. After two surgeries for reconstruction, I am very pleased with the work that Dr. Alspaugh has done for me. So much so, I had him perform an eye lift surgery or blepharoplasty. It too was very successful. I would highly recommend Dr. Alspaugh to anyone.
I want to say thank you to Dr. Alspaugh and his staff for the amazing care I received while recently undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Everyone was so warm and kind and took the time to answer all of my questions. I was expecting to be in a lot of pain after my surgery, but Dr Alspaugh utilized a new product called Exparel during my procedure and I was shocked at how good I felt after surgery. I hardly took any pain meds and was back to work in 5 days with very little discomfort! I am very pleased with my results and fast recovery,and highly recommend Dr Alspaugh to all my friends!!
I had large breasts all my life, even as a teenager. After two pregnancies, a huge weight loss, and the effect of aging, my breasts hung so low and had no shape or perk. I suffered from neck and back pain and had large indents on my shoulders from my bra straps. I consulted with Dr. Alspaugh about a breast reduction. He answered my 101 questions with professionalism and patience.
