Brian Dickinson's Online Review Report Card

I had a face lift several months ago with Dr. Dickinson and I am beyond happy with my results! I wish I had done it sooner. I was so well taken care of by Dr. D. and I love how I look that I wanted to help anyone else out there if they are on the fence about getting a facelift. Do it now!!! You will love it!!!! This is my second experience with Dr. D as ten years ago he reconstructed my breast after I had a mastectomy and radiation for stage 3 breast cancer. To be honest, when I first met Dr. Dickinson, I was not totally impressed by him as he looks more like a football player than a plastic surgeon. At the time of my breast cancer, I was not wholly convinced that he was a doctor able to perform vascular surgery. Nonetheless, after several meetings with my oncologists, the nurse navigators, and the radiologists, I was assured that Dr. D was the guy. My breast reconstruction turned out great, it looks natural, and I couldn’t wait to get rid of that hard and painful tissue expander and my port. I am extremely grateful for how natural my breast looks, but what makes Dr. D so special is that when I was in the hospital, he watched me like a hawk, and I felt so cared for and taken care of. After my flap surgery, when I woke up, he was there. When I went to bed a night, he was there. When I woke up the next morning, he was there. Basically, the guy was just always watching over me when I was in the ICU. I was anxious about my breast cancer and the reconstruction, and he got me through it. I had the same concerns and anxiety about my facelift. My first concern was, how is the same guy who did my breast reconstruction going to do my facelift? Aren’t they totally different areas of the body? One of my friends had their eyes done by Dr. D and the other had her facelift done by him so I felt comfortable knowing that and I liked their results. Still, the face is a big deal, and I was anxious, but I was so bothered by my neck and the jowls from the years of stress in my life. Dr. D had the same concern for my facelift outcome as he did my breast reconstruction. I stayed over one night in the surgery center after my facelift. Same thing happened. When I went to sleep, he was there. When I woke up the next morning, he was there. I began to think that there are two of him. I had almost 0 pain and Dr. D was sensitive to the fact that I throw up a lot after anesthesia. He and the anesthesiologist took care of that, and I didn’t throw up once after. Dr. D listened to all of my concerns before surgery, and I look great. I don’t look tight, I don’t look surprised, and no one can tell I had a facelift. All of my friends and family just tell me that I look really refreshed, happy, and well-rested. I used to think that the most important thing was to save money for a new car. Forget that! The facelift is so much more fun!!

Dr Dickenson is the best of the best! He did miracles for my mom’s double mastectomy reconstructive surgery. He’s brilliant, humble and kind. He truly cares about his patients. If there were more than a 5 star option I would give it to him. I have another family member who’s gone to him and again, he did absolutely phenomenal. He was the number one recommended plastic surgeon from my moms oncologist. Seriously A++++ surgeon and human!

Wish I could concur with the other positive reviews, but I cannot. The staff was warm and helpful, but the doctor was arrogant and unwilling to answer questions and explain his methods and reasoning for a particular type of reconstructive breast cancer surgery. Sad that he did not have the patience to help a cancer patient such as suggest alternative options. If you choose this doctor, I hope you have a much better experience.

Wish I could concur with the other reviewers that said how the staff was so warm,helpful, available and receptive to answer questions and concerns but alas Throughout this ordeal that is not what I experienced. One of the staff, Jennifer basically said that while paperwork had been submitted to my insurance co. I didn't Need to keep phoning in. I called a couple times per week because I was hopeful my insurance would be approved and excited to move forward asap. Lol. If things had been explained properly in the first place, I wouldn't have felt it necessary to call. Here's what I encountered: Had a consultation. Got the Estimate. After my insurance request fell through I was asked if I want to go Forward with the procedure. but I had some Additional questions regarding said procedure before I am ready to commit. Questions. Understandable . Most people would maybe have some too. I waited for clarification... No response. Did not get my Valid questions answered not by phone,(by this time I'm thinking) Email it's Better. Ok, they'll be more inclined to answer me. wrong. A week later and Still No reply/answers to those questions from his Staff.

Ohhhh my goodness, I cannot say enough about Dr. Dickinson, HE'S THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Coming to him after having a botched reconstruction from a double mastectomy, I was beyond thankful for being referred to him, the man is magic. Dr. Dickinson is there for you from beginning to end, he actually listens, he's personable and has your best interest at hand. The moment my sister and I walked into his office, we felt the best welcoming energy, and with all that I've gone through, that feeling was more than needed. His staff: Monica, Nikkie and Jennifer, they have you feeling welcome and taken care of from start to finish, they're a fantastic team! If I could give more stars, I would in a heart beat...HE'S THE BEST!!!
