Dr. Hing and his staff were very helpful and supportive in my time of need. I can't say enough about how comfortable they all made me feel. Dr. Hing did a complete abdominal wall reconstruction on me in November of 2008. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who is considering this kind of surgery. It's hard to find someone who is so professional and caring at the same time.

Sincerely
Margaret Haines

Dr. Hing took the time to explain everything to me and what his recommendations were for me. However there was no pressure by anyone to do more work than I wanted or felt I could afford. Everyone in the office showed their concern and condsideration for whatever my needs were. I have never been to such a caring office before where the patients were the top priority.

The care I received for my surgery was top rate and I would recommend Dr. Hing and his office to anyone thinking about reconstructive surgery.

I would like to say that Dr. Hing has changed my life. He is a very experienced Doctor who takes the time to get to know you. He made me feel very comfortable with my surgery and the end result was amazing. My family and I are very happy with what he has done.

I can not begin to say enough about Dr. Hing and his most caring and wonderful staff (especially Amy and Heidi)! This was the first Dr. I ever met that made you feel like his only patient, he was never in a hurry or rush to finish the consultation or any appointments. He LISTENED and was very informational and supportive. He explains things in a very understanding way. He is very thoughtful and caring. Very positive attitude, while waiting to be seen I have often heard him speaking with his staff on how "beautiful" his patients look. He always is Professional and KIND, and His surgical ability is AMAZING! Heidi, is like the Sunshine herself...she always puts a smile on your face and makes you feel important and answers any question, silly or not! The whole staff is good about answering questions, if the don't know...they find out AND return your call! Amy, I can not say enough about how helpful she was with questions, scheduling, and insurance. She Always returned my calls! I live 2 hours away, and I was a bit nervous about the distance...but after the wonderful surgical experience (abdominoplasty with vertical extension)...I will be returning to Dr. Hing and his surgical talent for future procedures! Thank you Dr. Hing, Heidi and Amy!

I had attended a support group meeting where Dr. Hing was expected to speak. At the time I had only lost 60 pounds since the gastric bypass surgery, but was very motivated to hear what he could do for me once I was at my "goal" weight. After listening to him, viewing other work he had done, and asking him questions I was pretty sure that this was the Dr. for the job. His office was at the same hospital that my mother-in-law was at. She was in management and had heard nothing but good things about his team, specifically how well Dr. Hing and Heidi worked with each other. It was apparent on the first visit what a good team they were. I had lost 100 pounds and was looking to get an idea of how much more I would have to loose before I could proceed with the reconstructive portion. I was worried I would go in to the consult with too high expectations, and wanting too many things done, so I asked him to tell me what he thought I needed done the most. He targeted the areas that I was most concerned with, and assured me that more weight loss would not necessarily be beneficial since these areas may not even be affected by loosing more weight. Almost a year later, after I made a switch in my insurance and waited for the pre-existing expiration date to pass, the surgery was scheduled. Amy was a huge help in this process! The day of surgery came and the only worry I had was whether or not I could sit home for 4-5 weeks post-op, doing next to nothing, in order to heal properly. I remember coming out of surgery and Dr. Hing about 12" from my face saying, "Laurie, we took off 17.5 pounds!" He was so excited. It was a lower body lift procedure with a vertical extension. The next morning he said they had taken more off of the back then they had marked. My first order of business when I got out of bed was to look at my rear-end in the bathroom mirror. It has been 3 months and I still marvel at what a transformation it has been. I went from a size 28 (pre gastric bypass); to a size 16-18 (pre reconstructive surgery); to a size 10-12!! I haven't been a size 10 since 4th grade! Overall, my experience with Dr. Hing and his staff was excellent. There were times in the hospital where the nursing staff was less than adequate, but Dr. Hing and Heidi made themselves accessible during that time, and listened to my concerns about the care. The post-op office visits to remove the drains, and check the progress were quick and easy. Any questions I had were answered by Dr. Hing or Heidi. I would highly recommend Dr. Hing and his staff for any plastic surgery procedure, and am considering one more procedure for myself. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else.

I've read all of the reviews and everyone of of them are right on. What can I say different? Dr. Hing was my second opinion. The first plastic surgeon was all well in good except for his staff. After calling 7 times with no call back, I called Barix Clinic to complain. They turned me onto Dr. Hing. Amy, his adm. support was ausome. Answered every question and catered to my every need. Heidi, the RN was spectacular. She was sooo on the ball as well was all of the other staff. I was sold before even meeting Dr. Hing. When I finally did, I saw what a professional he was and later what an artist he is. He was more exceited about the outcome than I was. The drugs kept me out of it for awhile. All I can say is pay attention to the whole package. This is an exceptional team. You won't be sorry.

Dr Hing and his nurse Heidi helped me feel comfortable and confident; they are professional and were willing to answer any & all of my questions. They explained everything thoroughly and I was always impressed with the time they took with me. But the very best part was the incredible outcome; it was so much more than I ever imagined! Dr Hing has an amazing attention to detail and I knew that it would be beautiful and it is! My before and after pictures are here online and I'm happy to share them. I look forward to seeing Dr Hing for my next procedure.

I can’t help but wonder if the good doctor Hing realizes the difference the he has made in my life.
With no sign of judgment or condemnation that I have witnessed with other health (professionals) this gentle man set about sculpting my body to the point that when I pass a mirror I go back for a longer satisfied look.
I lost 110 pounds after gastric bypass surgery in 2001. I did this to be healthy. As time passed I was less happy with the new me with the stretched and sagging skin despite all the exercising I did,
I went to Dr. Hing to feel better about me in Dec. 2006. The funny thing is I feel better about all of life altogether.
I am so grateful to this gentile caring doctor and his excellent thoughtful staff.
They are all professional yet reachable as people. All my questions were answered thoroughly usually before I asked them. They are always available, and no question is silly.
Dr Hing and his nurse Heidi both explained procedures and soothed any concerns and told me the truth about any possibilities so I would have no surprises. Amy the sweet scheduling and insurance person is so knowledgeable and helpful. She kept me well covered on the business end of things.
The results are better than what I had thought possible.
