Douglas Gervais Plastic Surgeon PhD, F.A.C.S.

I consulted for an arm lift with Dr. Gervais. I felt that he was egotistical and aloof... quoted me 3 hours of OR time but the actual quote I got was for 4. He did not take the time to answer all of my questions and in general was a bit rude. I overheard him with another patient and he was much more polite, but I got the feeling there was some weight discrimination going on. He seemed really fake to me, not at all genuine and just based on his attitude I will not have him do my surgery even if he turned out to be the cheapest. A bit expensive as well, is $9400 typical?

Dr. Gervais did a excellent job.

I am 100% satisfied with the tummy tuck from Dr. Gervais. He and his staff are very professional and take their time to explain things to you.

Update 3/28/07
Although I am satisfied with the work Dr. Gervais did on my tummy tuck, I am not happy with my breast lift/augmentation. I was never told that silicone implants were an option. My left breast appears to be square shaped because not enough excess skin was removed. My saline breasts fall under my armpits when I lay down. I don't look good in a bathing suit. I met with Dr. Gervais' partner, Dr. Tholen, and he offered to redo the surgery and waive the surgeon's fee. To me that says that Dr. Gervais did a poor job. At least they are owning up to it. If I had the choice, I would have never done the surgery. :( But perhaps a redo will go better.

Very competent surgeon. He worked along side Dr. Baker (Bariatric surgeon) who fixed my hernia then Dr. Gervais did my tummy tuck. I'm very pleased with my results. Dr. Gervais is supportive, listens well and answers questions thoroughly.
