Anyone know a great surgeon in/near Virginia Beach?

I'd really prefer one who specializes in bariatric reconstruction, of course! Thanks! -Shari

Hi Shari, I am from Va Beach and I have had PS with Dr. Blanchard in Newport News.  He did really nice work on my BL/BA.  Looks great.  He also did a brachioplasty for me that looks wonderful.  You can see more on his group with www.pschr.com.  I know that someone else on this board used this group as well and went to Dr. Zwicklbauer. I had an appointment last week with Dr. Blanchard for follow-up and he is going to do a minor revision (dog-ear) in the office under local.  I also spoke to him about getting a LBL.  So, they don't list every procedure they do on the website.  Also, the books they have in the office with before and after are more extensive than the few shots they have on their website.   If you want more info, I can email you directly.   Good luck! Eileen

I am five days out from a TT and BL with Dr Ivor Kaplan from Norfolk, VA. and he was absolutely wonderful!!!  He was top notch from all the PS I interviewed; he took the time to show me exactly what he could do for me & had a book with patients who look like "us"...don't show me a girl that is already a small size coming in for her TT, because I am not going to look like that.  He specializes in both children (he had performed all my son's surgeries to correct a birth defect) & I was shocked to find he also specializes in bariatric patients on the Norfolk/VA Beach side.  Their patient counselor, Glenda is THE BEST! She is with you every step of the way, with insurance approval & everything. I highly recommend them.
