My family was against my breast augmentation surgery but now they think there perfect. I have 2 friends with breast augmentations that went to other surgeons and everyone says my breasts look the best.. natural and fits my body. I got exactly what I wanted. The staff was amazing they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. My life has changed for the better. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. Dr. Gartner is an amazing surgeon and you can tell he loves what he does.

I had an overall great experience with my procedure. The staff was great and I'm very glad I spent the money to get breast augmentation. It has given me more confidence and I love how I look in cloths now. My mom wasn't happy that I got the procedure since she thinks I didn't need it - but I did it for myself and only thing that matters is how I feel :)

Dr. Gartner is the best. He has wonderful skills, great personality, honest, and attentive. I had a Mommy Makeover and I have never been happier. I lost 120 pounds and I had saggy breast and belly and stretch marks. Very unattractive.... I went from 36 Barely A to 36 D, and look like I was born with them. So Natural looking. Belly button looks great now, was distorted, belly is flat, most of my stretch marks are gone. The entire staff from start to finish is hands down. My husband wasn't a big fan of me doing it but the after effects he's thrilled and can't take his eyes off of me....he couldn't before either but now I feel comfortable. My sister in laws are thinking of coming into Dr. Gartner for the Breast implants. They are the most natural looking breasts I've ever seen. I have more confidence now with non sagging skin and breasts. All positive results from family and friends. I was speaking to a friend who hadn't seen me in a while and after some small talk stopped and said By the way your bobs are amazing. I said thank you.. The money was a bit much but I believe You get what you pay for. I'm 100% happy with ME now. Well almost......lol

If I were to write a review about my most recent experience with Dr. Garnter, at Gartner Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, I would definitely have another procedure with Dr. Garnter and his surgical team. My experience resulted in an A++ all the way through. From the office ladies, to the discharge nurse, everyone did a wonderful job with such professionalism. And speaking of professionalism, Dr. Gartner is the BEST. He really knows his stuff. My procedure was everything I wanted and I required no medication afterward. You can't get any better than that!

Dr. Gartner and his staff made me feel right at home. They answered all my questions and concerns. I wasn't sure what size or type of implant I wanted, but he recommended what would be proportionate to my body type. On the day of my surgery, I was so nervous, since I never had anesthesia before. The nurses were so kind to me and helped me stay calm. In the weeks following my surgery, Dr. Gartner checked my incisions and gave me instructions on how to take care of my incisions. It has now been seven months since my breast augmentation and I can't say enough how lucky I am to have had Dr. Gartner as my doctor. My breasts look full, natural and perky. He did a fantastic job.

It's been about 5 weeks since my breast augmentation and I have had no complications. I am back to my normal routine at the gym and feeling wonderful. I am so happy with my breasts and so happy I went to Dr. Gartner. He made me look exactly how I wanted.

From the consultation to the day of surgery, Dr. G listened to all of my concerns. During my pre-op we decided on the perfect size breasts for my body shape and size. On the day of surgery everything went so smoothly. I was extremely nervous but Dr. G made me feel much more comfortable. It's now a week since the surgery and I couldn't be happier. My breasts look so natural and attractive. I can't recommend him enough.

My experience was amazing and comforting. My journey started when I decided I wanted a Breast Augmentation. The first thing I started doing was my research. I needed to find the right Dr. I wanted someone with experience, and I needed to feel comfortable with the doctor I chose. This was was first time ever doing surgery and I was very nervous about the whole procedure . I went to a few doctors for consultations but left disappointed. I then went to my first consultation with Dr. Gartner and the staff made me feel very comfortable . I had a lot of questions for Dr. Gartner. Not only did he answer all of my questions patiently and in detail, he also shared all of his knowledge. That day, I made my decision saying YES this is the Dr. that I will choose! I told him why I wanted a BA and what I would like . He was very helpful along with the staff member Vicki helping me to choose my new size. I am 49 years old. I was a 34 small B and I lost a lot of my breast volume. I then set my date for my surgery. I was nervous and excited and had many mixed feelings , but all normal. However, I was confident that I chose the right Dr and all would be fine . The staff goes over everything and was always helpful. They answered all of my questions and there were many. The surgery went well! I am now a 34D I am absolutely happy and just love my new beautiful breast!! Every penny I spent was well worth it! Ladies, I would definitely recommend Dr. Gartner!!

After my breast augmentation consultation with Dr. Gartner, I knew he was going to be my doctor. He is patient, smart, professional and very caring. He explained everything to me and made me feel really comfortable. I am now 4 weeks out and all my friends and family are very impressed with the results. The scars are healing great and are barely noticeable. I didn't have any bruises after my surgery and I didn't experience any pain as well. There was only some soreness and of course discomfort. I had nothing but a great experience with Dr. G.
