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.

Excellent Communicator with Experience

I had cosmetic surgery with Dr. Hurteau in January 2020. My results are very disappointing. The sutures were not where I was told they would be and are quite visible. As a result I am reminded everyday when I look in the mirror. As time has gone by, healing and swelling reduced, is when it became apparent the results were not good. I have since gone for second and third opinions and have learned a lot. Do your homework before choosing a Plastic Surgeon for a cosmetic procedure. I should have known better when there were no before pictures taken prior to the procedure and no after pictures. I do have before and after pictures, please feel free to contact me.

Awesome staff...procedures are ancient and he had no clue how to treat me, we went by trial and error for at least 30 surgeries. After two surgeries in one month and he refused to remove one implant after having it for months. I was done.

Best plastic surgeon ever! I had a panniculectomy and a breast reduction done in December of 2018. I have never looked so good and felt so good about myself. All the extra skin from having babies is gone and my breasts went down from an F to a C cup! My back feels so much better! I'm so happy with the results! I would recommend Dr. Hurteau and his staff to anyone looking to have some areas worked on.

Went in for a simple nipple reduction and ended up with no nipples at all, just areolas. I do regret my decision and wish I had gone with someone else. Since that is not an option, I am expressing my disappointment here in the hopes that you will not make the same mistake of choosing someone who claims "no problem" when in fact he is not up to the task. Staff and environment are good and professional, and prices seem appropriate, which misled me. Take your time, choose someone you are sure of.

I am very satisfied with my Breast Augmentation and Mastopexy! Dr. Hurteau is very informative and knowledgeable. He took time to discuss my concerns, explain the procedures, and explained what to expect postoperatively . He discussed realistic expectations with me, and what the best options would be for my desired outcome. Before my procedure, I felt very comfortable and prepared. My expectations were exceeded! I feel that he gave me the absolute best of what I desired!

I work in TV/radio/public speaking. Suffered a nasty dog bit to the lip, ripped almost to nose. Dr. Hurteau did an amazing job reconstructing and stitching the gash while giving me piece of mind. I was beyond freaked out when it happened. A little more than 2 weeks later, most people don't notice the small scar, even if they know to look. My livelihood & confidence flashed before my eyes. Thanks to Dr. Hurteau, I feel and look as good as new. He is brilliant. A technician. A magician. The best.
