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.

Finally got a much desired Tummy tuck. Results were amazing.

Implant exchange
I recently had my breast implants exchanged and am very happy with the outcome. Dr. Christman spent a lot of time explaining the surgery and making sure I was completely satisifed with the size. I made the decision to have the surgery at Riverview Hospital which I highly recommend. I found Dr. Christman and his staff to be very friendly.

The receptionist is extremely friendly. I had a significant surgery which Dr Christman performed. I found him to be very pleasant easy to talk too as he explained all the options to me I never felt rushed . The results of my surgery are incredible. Dr Christman takes his time when he does any procedures. He cares about his work. He is a meticulous surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend Dr Christman and will be having more work done in a few months.

Almost cost me my life!!!
Last July I had a tummy tuck through Midwest clinical research (for a pain medication for recovery of the surgery), kenneth Christman was my surgeon. At first I was extremely pleased with the suturing and how it looked etc,.. but problems came and quickly. He wouldn’t take my drain out after 1 week said I had too much fluid and it needed to remain in another week, keep in mind all of the other surgeons on this trial do not keep drains in longer than 3 days post op. Most surgeons no longer use prolonged drain usage due to infection risk. After the two week mark I saw him and my drain was removed but the site was pussing red hot to the touch and appeared infected. I also had a high fever. Keep in mind I had been to an emergency room who confirmed an infection and gave me meds. He refused to believe it was infected. As the days past beyond that I continued to become more sick. I had developed sever cellulitis and had a high fever still by this point I had saw 3 drs at the er and was given

He does amazing work.
I recently got a breast augmentation. He does amazing work. My husband and I are extremely satisfied. Dr. Christman really cares about his patients wants and needs. If your thinking about getting any work I highly recommend him.

Is a downright terrible human being. Does not disclose that he doesn’t take insurance. Office staff is incredibly rude. There is a class action lawsuit against him right now. Avoid this man at all costs, he will attempt to make your life a living hell.

Just four days ago I was in the ER with a severe laceration across my face. The nurses said they demanded that Dr. Christman come and do the reconstructive cosmetic surgery. They told me he was the best. My face is still swollen but I can tell he did a terrific job!!! I had to go to his office twice so far for follow up and while I was waiting in one of the rooms, I counted 16 diplomas!!!! 16!!!! He's meticulous and that is what makes him simply the best. I'm glad the nurses got him!!!

After a car accident, Dr. Christman did my stitches. Two inches of stitches and a half hour of his time cost me $3200. When I told the secretary I needed to get on monthly payments and told her what I could afford, she laughed at me because I couldn’t afford what she deemed typical. She was unprofessional and insensitive and shamed me for not having the money to pay. I would never recommend this facility.

Dr Christman came in to my hospital room without my request. I never asked for his consultation or the consultation of any plastic surgeon. I was under the care of an infectious disease doctor who gave explicit instructions not to drain the abscess. I told this to Dr Christman but he came in and squeezed the abscess, draining it and causing me immense pain. He then stated his services would not be needed and left. He billed me almost a thousand dollars for his unethical practice.

I experienced facial and scalp trauma that left me with a wound covering a large portion of my face. I met with Dr. Christman who expertly closed the wound after several procedures without the use of a skin graft, as we originally feared. The scar is minimal and I'm so impressed. His bedside manner is wonderful. He followed my recovery for well over a year with no additional office fees to make sure the wound would follow a path of minimal scarring. Very pleased.

I was seen in the Emergency room of a local hospital for a facial related trauma. After leaving I was very unhappy with the results and contacted Dr. Chrisman's office the following morning they got me in that day I was reassured that my issue was not correctly handled in the emergency room and Dr. Chrisman immediately arranged to fix my nose laceration and I am extremely pleased by the results
