Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude, insulting, no compassion
Even with the possibility of having cancer from FDA recalled breast implants, as I keep swelling, Shaw was cold hearted and had zero compassion; and instead, offered rude insults and incorrect, insinuating remarks. I will get the help I desperately need from a doctor who actually cares. He has no business in medical business.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE! Beth is the “manager” here and REFUSED to help me when asking to reschedule my appointment and for a possible refund on a $40 deposit. Beth hung up on me while I was attempting to ask her questions. Please, if you call this office for services DO NOT speak to Beth. As a patient with Dr. Shaw, I would like a follow up from someone who can help me in resolving this issue. Thank you.

Dr Shaw is just as skilled with a scalpel as he is with injections. So great to find a Dr who cared enough about his patients to do his own injections. Bonus is his ability to explain why he is doing what he does in a way I can understand.

Dr. Shaw did my filler and I love it, it still looks very natural which was important to me. The staff there is super friendly, Chelsea has been doing my Cool sculpting and I can already tell a difference! My Mom has started coming here too!

Dr. Shaw, Lindsay and Jillian were all very kind and helpful. I went in for a mole removal and decided to address extra body concerns. Dr. Shaw, especially made me feel comfortable in showing my concerns and guiding me on the right treatment. I liked that not everything was under the knife. I’m excited and look forward to the results. Thank you! Dr.Shaw and team

I felt very comfortable having a consultation with Dr Shaw and his staff. I feel like he really listened to what I wanted to accomplish and did not try to talk me into going larger. I was happy about that because it was important to me to look natural, like "me" again. The surgery was flawless. My incisions are amazingly barely there. Dr Shaw is a wonderful surgeon who surrounds himself with a great team.

Dr. Shaw and his team are great! Not only do they provide great customer service from start to finish but they also give exceptional patient care. They do a fantastic job at explaining everything (products, procedures, pricing, etc.) Whenever I am visiting from Nashville I try to stop by for a visit! They're that good!

I had visited a total of 4 plastic surgeons in Wichita and KC area concerning the extra skin on my upper eye lids. I am a business professional/owner and was very concerned with the outcome of my procedure. Dr. Shaw was by far the most knowledgeable and experienced doctor that my wife and I spoke with and am very pleased with my outcome. I am considering having a neck lift this winter and he will be the Doctor I will go to

My experience with Dr. Shaw and his staff was nothing short of amazing. I went to Dr. Shaw for a mommy make-over. In July i had a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants. I could not be more pleased with the way my body looks and the way I feel. Dr. Shaw was caring and i never felt like he was rushed with me.
