Frequently Asked Questions

Very pleasant staff. Dr. Alspaugh is amazing!

Got a surgical procedure here two weeks ago. Dr Denks’ entire team is just wonderful. They have been with me through the entire process and Gabriela especially was super understanding and helpful. She went above and beyond to fit me into the surgeons schedule. She made it happen the same month I contacted them which still blows my mind. I am really happy with the results and would choose them for another procedure in a heartbeat. They were definitely worth the 3.5 hour drive!

Hands down this is the most amazing plastic surgery office! No haggling and Dr. Jacobs will not perform a surgery if the scar exceeds the benefit. His words exactly which is exactly what I want to know ahead of time not after the surgery is done. Dr. Jacobs is a phenomenal surgeon and I trust him 150%. Felecia his nurse is as wonderful as Dr. Jacobs!!

I visited Dr. Johnathan Jacob's Office to see about getting a Lipoma removed from my upper left shoulder. After meeting Dr. Jacob's he discussed with me what needed to be done to remove it. I was very happy with the surgery and how good a surgeon he is. I was very satisfied with the procedure and the outcome. I was happy with his staff also they took good care of me. ???

I am very pleased with Dr. Alspaugh and staff. I appreciate his honesty and his ability to give good advice. He was very professional and made sure I was comfortable. I’m looking forward to working hard and encouraged to start on this new journey to improve my look and my health...all in one. He’s so amazing.

I had 2 procedures done by dr. Jacobs my butt and my Brest! He did an amazing job on me! I absolutely love the results! I highly recommend dr.jacobs! the staff is also amazing, there all very friendly, polite and caring! They were all so good to me! I’m so glad I chose associates in plastic surgery!

Felicia is the absolute BEST. If you enjoy the feeling when people say, “You look too young to have a 19 year old.” Then book an appointment with Felicia immediately. She’s the sweetest human being on the planet and excellent at her job.

Love the staff!! They are so friendly and take time with you to really listen to your needs. Highly recommend!!

The staff were very kind and very patient and answered all of my questions.I really appreciated the staffs professionalism along with their sense of humor made me feel very at ease.

Life Changing! I saw Dr. Denk on recommendation of a friend. I was concerned about seeing a plastic surgeon and didn't know if I'd feel judged. I should not have worried. Dr. Denk and his entire staff were warm, caring, and very knowledgeable and thorough. Dr. Denk listened to my history (I'm a runner and a belly dancer and my "mommy pouch" was keeping me from doing all of these things and more.) and recommended abdominoplasty with liposuction. The procedure was smooth and well organized and recovery went as he said it would. The follow up care was great. 3 months after surgery I ran a half marathon and started dancing again. 6 months after surgery and I just got a personal record on a full marathon. I feel so much more confident and happy now and would trust Dr. Denk with any surgery! Thank you!!

Dr. Denk and staff truly deserve a 10 star! I went for a consultation w/Dr. Denk in 2015. I loved his compassionate professionalism, and honesty. Of course after the consultation you meet w/ the coordinator, and recieve a little blue folder, which entails your cost break down, financial info etc. BTW I still have my little blue folder 5 years later, LOL! Well, after 5 years of working out, and numerous gym contracts, I threw in the toweI! Told my husband I'm so disappointed with my body, and nothing is working anymore. So we decided, as a team, to make a call to Dr. Denk's office! After conversing with Gabi, the patient coordinator, for a few days, she advised me Dr. Denk will be calling me soon. He called me the very next day. The following day I recieved a call from Gabi scheduling my appointment for 360 Lipo, inner thigh lipo, modification tummy tuck, and BBL. I was a little concerned after leaving VA Beach in 2017, and moving to St. Louis which is over 900 miles away. Gabi, help me with all our arrangements, making it an easier and less stressful transition. She made me feel like I was her only concern. WOW!!! Once we arrived in Va Beach I recieved another call from Gabi; making sure we had a safe trip. She asked if I had any questions for her, the nurse "Jennifer", or Dr. Denk. The day of my Pre OP Dr. Denk made certain my husband and I, had a full and complete understanding of the surgical procedure he was preforming. DOUBLE WOW!!!! The morning of my surgery, we arrived at the facility, it was decorated beautifully, but I was so freaking nervous I couldn't appreciate it! HaHa!!!! ONCE again Dr. Denks staff came to the rescue!!! The nurse made me feel comfortable, we actually were laughing so loud the other staff members came in the surgery prep area, and starting laughing with us. It was awesome!!!! Sooo, now here comes Dr. Denk gliding in, and the first thing he asked was "are you ok, and are you ready?" He makes your feel like FAMILY and NOT just a patient. My Post-OP experience was phenomenal! It didn't matter to Dr. Denk how many follow up appointments I needed. He wanted to make certain I was happy with the results, and he addressed all concerns, knowing I had only 2 weeks for my return to St Louis. I'm now 1 month Post Op TODAY January 10, 2020 and the office staff remains genuine with follow up phone calls. TRIPLE WOW!!!! Dr. Denk, my nurse "Jennifer" and coordinator "Gabriela" have stayed in constant communication with me throughout the process. It's been one magnificent, experience!!!!!! They make it so worth all the pain and discomfort!!!! Lololol. Words can't express my gratitude! xoxoxo..Thank you all❣

Hello, My name is Sharon Mazzio. My husband and I have both had procedures done by Dr. Jacobs. We could not be happier, his scheduler Monica his nurse Felecia and everyone else we came in contact with were wonderful. We were walked through our procedures step by step. Every question was answered and every concern was handled with courtesy and professionalism. I can not recommend Dr. Jacobs more highly.

'My experiences at Associates in Plastic Surgery have all been outstanding. I have been a patient for more than 10 years. Dr. John Alspaugh is pleasant, patient and very informative. He listens to you and your concerns. I am always very happy with the results. Cheryl, his nurse is amazing! Go see her! She is sweet and knowledgeable. She eases my nerves and answers all of my questions and concerns. She even makes me laugh. Wonderful, caring staff.

They are all so friendly and caring. The services are superb. I can't say enough about my wonderful experiences I have always received from them.

They are very professional, organized, and were sympathetic towards my situation. I left the office with a full understanding of my procedure. All questions were answered and all concerns were addressed. I felt confident and comfortable with Dr. Alspaugh.

Dr. Denk and his staff is nothing short of AMAZING!!! I had Lipo 360 with a BBL and he achieved everything I wanted and more. He is not only the best at what he does he’s also very informative and thorough. He answers all of your questions and you will never feel rushed. Nurse Jennifer and Nurse Phylis are heaven sent, as well as Gabby his scheduler. Even after surgery he makes himself available for any questions or follow up appointments. He truly cares for his patients and is the epitome of a Perfect Surgeon.

I love Dr. Denk!! The whole staff has been the best everyone is so nice and caring! I’m glad I chose them for plastic surgery

I have been seeing Joyce Black for more than 20 years and she has never done any more than excellent work. She exemplifies professionalism, is extremely kind and very honest, and she is a master of her craft. At some point, I may choose to accept the aging process but until I do, I will continue seeing her and enjoying my time with her. Five stars anyway you look at it!

I have always had great confidence in this group. They are kind, compassionate and considerate of my needs. I have referred friends here who feel the same. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I lost 80+ lbs naturally with diet and exercise and was left with excess skin/tissue around the breasts, hips, and stomach area that lead to a lot of insecurities. Being a male, it’s a little difficult to research plastic surgeons so it was kind of a consult and see how it goes type of deal, and man I’m so glad I went to Dr. Denk and I hope this review will help other men in similar situations as I was in. I’m now almost 2 months post-op from a male breast reduction and abdominoplasty with liposuction and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My insecurities have gone away. I went from being too insecure to take my shirt off in public, to swimming laps at a busy gym with my shirt off. I experienced very little pain which was a very pleasant surprise seeing as 6lbs of skin/tissue was removed. Dr. Denk was fantastic and his crew from his nurse Jennifer (and the entire operating room nurses) and receptionist Gabby have all been a pleasure to work with. His nurses made me feel extremely comfortable and made sure all of my as well as my parents’ questions were answered. I can’t recommend them enough, they’ve all changed my life. They all care about you and not your money which is something that I’ve personally found difficult to find in the medical field. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!!

I really love Dr. Denk and his nurse Jennifer and also the rest of the staff. Everyone were very professional and nice. I was nervous about the procedure and so I had a talk with Dr. Denk and Jennifer and they made me feel good about it. Let me just say that I had a tummy tuck, lipo and a BBL done and I couldn't be more happy. My scar looks so good and you really cant tell that its there. I would say go with this Doctor because trust me you will be happy.

I am currently one month post op (Tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair) and am ecstatic with my results. Dr. Denk, Jennifer, and the rest of the staff have been amazing to work with. The amount of concern and excitement they've expressed for me during this process has exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Denk and will gladly see him for future procedures.

I have been going to Associates in Plastic Surgery for 25 years. Dr. Jacobs and his nurse Felicia, are experts in making you look better, no matter your age. I live two hours away, from their office but have such confidence in their work, that I will continue to make the drive for their 5 Gold Star services

I went to have "neck contouring" aka liposuction to get rid of my double chin and jowls. It was done under local anasthesia in the office. I barely bruised! Took about an hour total. I was sore the next day or two, however the final result is just what I wanted, thank you!!!

The doctor and his staff are wonderful. He took the time and explained about the procedure and answered all my questions.

Dr. Alspaugh and his staff especially Nurse Patty were wonderfully attentive and comforting. I was so nervous about everything but in the end I'm happy I chose to stay locally vs going.out of the country. I was considering going to Toronto, but after being told to lose 25 lbs, even though I'm a size 7 I decided to look elsewhere. After a trusted recommendation I'm happy so far with my results, highly recommend them.

Dr. Denk and everyone associated with his practice are extremely knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I received nothing but world class customer service, and respect from his entire team. Gabi and Jennifer treated my wife and I with genuine concern, and dealt with her on every level of her transformation with a spirit of excellence. Dr. Denk is truly a skilled Practitioner with a masterful touch. His NY swagger, keen eye and drive for perfection was the perfect fit for my wifes needs. I am impressed! No small task for a guy like me. Thank you Dr., For the support, and keeping a smile on my wife's face throughout. Hats off to you."She's still authentic" You are the best... Cheers! T. Stanley

If you are thinking about traveling to another state for LIPO360/BBL, you dont have to. Dr. Denk achieves astonishing results and does it SAFELY! I had thought about going to Miami to get this procedure done but I wanted to stay home and have a surgeon that doesn't treat me as if I'm in an assembly line. From consultation to post op, I couldn't ask for more. All of the staff were very friendly. When I first spoke to the scheduling coordinator (Gabby) she made me feel so comfortable. Her demeanor was pleasant and positive. I had a specific date I wanted to have this done and they made room to accommodate me on his schedule. The nurses before and after surgery took very good care of me. They were so helpful and caring. Irene (my recovery nurse) made sure I was comfortbale and pain free before leaving to go home. She was so patient!!! Dr. Denk called me the next day on Saturday to follow up and answered all questions without feeling rushed. I am now 7 weeks post op. He had his office reach out to me to schedule another post op appointment. By now most places would have forgot. I'm so glad I gave him a chance. I went spring/ summer shopping today and I am happy that I can now wear clothes that show off my figure instead of clothes that hide it! Thank you Dr. Denk and thank you to everyone that helped along the way 🙂

I’ve been going to Lori for 5 years now and I trust her with all my skin concerns! She is an expert at what she does and always makes me feel at ease at every appointment. We address the skin concerns I have and the treatment she recommends. I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Hands down, this office always gives me the best services and I would recommend to anyone.

I had a great experience with Dr. Denk and his entire team. Everyone has been very welcoming and helpful during all the stages of my procedures from the initial consult to the after care follow up appointments.

They are all so friendly and caring. The services are superb. I can't say enough about my wonderful experiences I have always received from them.

Could not be happier with my results. All the staff is wonderful and make you feel completely comfortable and unjudged. The doctors and nurses are amazing at what they do. I would recommend this group to anyone.

I was so scared going into my breast reduction surgery, as me only being 20 years old. Dr. Denk, Jennifer, and Monica assured me everything would be fine, and he was certainly right! I am so in love with everything, I didn't have one complication. I am glad I did so much research before deciding on my doctor, because everything turned out just like I asked for. It is truly a life changing experience. Very impressed with me results, and recovery went way faster than I thought it would be. My mom went to Dr. Jacobs and had multiple complications. Me going in to my consultation I had a million reasons because of that, and he answered everything very clearly and nicely.

I had such a Wonderful experience with Dr. Denk and his team. Jennifer , Monica and Gabby were all amazing. The whole office was always so helpful. They took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. This office is so caring. I have had people tell me my scars look fantastic. I had abdominoplasty and breast reduction from excessive weigh loss.

This OFFICE ROCKS! I see Jennifer for my Lip Filler and other injectables. She has mastered this skill! As a hair stylist and being so happy with my results, I have sent 15+ women and 2 men to see her.  They ALL are Happy and as far as I know repeat customers.  Thank you for always giving your Best!

Dr. Denk and his staff were absolutely amazing! They answered all of my questions and concerns before and after surgery. The office is warm and inviting. I would highly recommend Associates in Plastic Surgery.

Great staff!! Very friendly and accommodating. So excited for my surgery with Dr Alspaugh!

Dr. Alspaugh and his staff especially Nurse Patty were wonderfully attentive and comforting. I was so neevous about everything but in the end I'm happy I chose to stay locally vs going.out of the country. I was considering going to Toronto, but after being told to lose 25 lbs, even though I'm a size 7 I decided to look elsewhere. After a trusted recommendation I'm happy so far with my results, highly recommend them.

I had the best experience here. Excellent doctors and nurses!

Dr. Denk and his entire staff are excellent and make you feel very comfortable and do amazing work.

I have been seeing Lori for melasma and sun damage on my face and she has my skin looking amazing! She is very knowledgeable and really makes you feel comfortable. She came up with a skin care regimen that has given me fantastic results. I also see Felicia for filler under my eyes and it has dramatically reduced my "eye bags" and dark circles. I had no idea it was even possible but the results are amazing! I was a little nervous my first time but Felicia is super sweet and really put me at ease. I didn't feel a thing. I would highly recommend Lori and Felicia. They are both fantastic!

I've had several AMAZING experiences here with Jennifer and Dr. Denk. Most recently I had coolsculpting done on my upper back and am beyond pleased with the results. It was so much more than I expected. Lori is amazing, knows her stuff, and very caring towards her clients. If you want any type of procedure, I recommend Associates in Plastic Surgery!

Joyce is my favorite. So much so, I sent all my friends here so they can see for themselves. If you are looking for an expert opinion, a skillful hand and honest conversation, then Joyce at Associates is your lady. Would trust her with any new future procedure and continue to go back for my regular injections.

Several weeks ago I found out that I had a large cancerous carcinoma on my head. Obviously this creates a great deal of worry. From the first day I met with Dr. Jacobs, through my surgery and post op visit, he and his staff have been amazing. There were several things that I thought I would have to take care of myself. I found out that Dr. Jacob's staff took care of these things without me having to tell them. They turned a very bad situation into a very pleasurable one.<br /> Each and every member of the staff I came into contact with, was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to be around. In this age of impersonal customer service, I would give Associates in Plastic Surgery my highest rating.

They are very professional, organized, and were sympathetic towards my situation. I left the office with a full understanding of my procedure. All questions were answered and all concerns were addressed. I felt confident and comfortable with Dr. Alspaugh.

I’ve been seeing Lori for skin care and laser treatments. I highly recommend her! She is attentive to my concerns and has helped develop a skin care routine that fits my needs.

Lori Burton is absolutely AWESOME! Very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to my needs. I've been seeing her for a year and she's by far the best aesthetician I've ever had. The improvement in my skin is better than I thought possible. She takes a lot of time to assess my needs, discuss different options, and explain regimes, but never in a "sales pitch" kind of way. She's very caring about her clients, and I highly recommend her without reservation!

#1! I’ve been a return customer to Dr Denk for over 10 years now and have referred over 12 friends to him for many procedures to include Breast Augmentation/ Reduction, Ear lobes, Tummy Tucks, Face lift, skin care, fillers, etc and everyone was 100% ecstatic with their results as I have been! I told him today that I’d see him in 2 years on my 60th Birthday for a little face rejuvenation /lift. His Team are also always friendly, professional and caring!

I had a lip filler treatment with Jennifer. She is not only expertise in her job, but also so caring. I had a great experience and super happy with the result.

Dr Denk has been professional throughout my journey and I have recommended him to several of my friends! If you are looking for a doctor who can sculpt your body Dr. D is your man!

I see Sheryl for my fillers. She is such a kind person. And very knowledgeable. She always makes me feel comfortable. Now that I am heading in my late 40's, time to do some work. And I know Associates of Plastic Surgery will be the choice for me!

I was a little apprehensive about having laser treatments to remove red lines on my face. When I met Lori I found her kind and friendly, yet professional manner immediately put me at ease. With just one treatment most lines disappeared, a short follow-up appointment finished the job! Thanks Lori, I'm thrilled with the results!!
