Bruce Shack Plastic Surgeon


Dr. Shack was the kindest, nicest doctor I have ever met. He listened to everything I said, took his time with me, and told me he was going to take care of me. He did just that. He did a pannectomy, the incision looked great, he removed the excess skin and did a wonderful job on the tummy tuck on me. He surpassed my expectations and I looked better than I had expected.

Dr. Shack is great but as every doctor I've met at Vanderbilt, he is rushed for time. Although he will take time to listen to your questions, you may have to make sure he knows you have more questions or call or email his office to get everything answered. He was EXCELLENT in returning calls to me at home to answer questions I had that I thought his nurse would call & answer. Also he has some great nurses that are also very knowledgeable & were very helpful in answering questions. Just make sure you make your questions or comments known as things at Vandy can be quite rushed & you might come away feeling you didn't get everything answered if you don't make everyone stop & tell them you have more things to ask. They always stopped what they were doing if I had more things to discuss. Also if you are unsure of things talked about at appointments or it was so rushed you felt unsure, ALWAYS clarify what you talked about with either him or his nurse, like I said a simple phone call or email will do the trick. My surgery outcome has been great so far. I'm currently 6 weeks post-op from tummy tuck, arm lift, & breast lift. Everything looks fantastic!
