Surgeon Testimonial

Monte Schwartz, M.D.
I am so happy that I chose Dr. Schwartz as my surgeon. He is confident, knowledgeable and caring and I highly recommend him. I only saw him once before surgery and didn’t have many questions because I’d done so much research on this. My surgery happened within 10 days of seeing him (I was self-pay and was able to get the tests done quickly). He has a structured aftercare program, which I like. I feel better knowing what I’m supposed to do each day. It takes the guess-work out of things for me. His office staff is friendly, caring and efficient. I liked them. They made me feel welcome from the moment I called to make an appointment. And Karen, his nurse coordinator . . . phenomenal. Very caring, friendly and knowledgeable. I love her!

I am so excited. I called a plastic surgeon's office today several people had recommended to me figuring it would take several months for me to get in. They had a cancellation for this afternoon that I took. I REALLY liked him and his staff. I went in thinking I would only be able to afford a Tummy Tuck, but ended up scheduling a LBL for May 6^th (I can’t do anything until after tax season). Since I’m still paying off my gastric bypass loan, I’ll have to wait on the breast lift and arms, but I’m so excited about the body lift!!!! This guy is a terrific surgeon. I know several people who have had work done by him and they have been thrilled. I just feel so blessed :). I never did lose that last 10 pounds. Maybe this will get it off.

I also discovered skydiving. I went with my sister a few weeks ago and loved it! I hope to do it again soon. It's just one of many things I couldn't do before surgery.

I hope your plastic surgery went well. I am living oversea's at the moment (husband's job). However Tucson is our home. I am looking for a plastic surgeon in AZ. Who did you use? It is so hard to figure out who to use. I don't know anyone in AZ that has had plastic surgery done. My RNY was done in Ar. I had family there to help me after surgery, but we are retiring in Jan. and I wanted to have surgery done in AZ. Jan
