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.

Happy, Happy, Happy!
Super excited by results. Had wanted to do something about my 'bat-wing' upper arms for a very long time. Dr. Gartner and his staff were terrific in answering all my questions leading up to arm lift surgery and throughout each post-op appointment. Office and support staff were pleasant and professional.

Wonderful plastic surgeon
Wonderful experience all across the board! Doctor Garner and his stuff are providing the best service and outstanding results! Doctor is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I went for BA and couldn’t be happier. Everything from consultations, general anesthesia, surgery to follow up appointment months after - extremely satisfied! Doctor Gartner will give you even better results than you’re looking to get! Highly recommended! 10/10

highly recommended
Dr. Gartner is incredible. Not only has he taken great care of my health, but answered each and every question/concern I had at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming his patient! I would also like to mention his staff who at all times made sure I was attended and taken care of.

Lipo 360
Great service from start to finish. Office staff was professional and provided quality service. Dr. Gartner was very thorough and listened to all of my questions and concerns. He explained the procedure, pre operative, post operative, as well as called afterwards to check on on me during recovery.

Buccal Fat Removal + Nose Filler
I am super happy with the work of Dr. Gartner. I have gone to him for many mole removals, buccal fat removal, and nose filler. The results are always very natural-looking and never over-done. He is precise and professional in his approach. I have referred a cousin of mine to him. I will certainly be back again myself.

Perfect tummy tuck
I had a tummy tuck with liposuction performed by Dr Gartner. It was one of the best decisions I made. I’m thrilled with the results and Dr. Gartner. He and his staff were very attentive through the surgery and the healing process. I highly recommend him.

Breast Reduction
Dr. Gartner did an incredible job giving me a natural but noticeable difference in my breast reduction. In one year my results look the same as they did the day after surgery, with barely any scarring and a quick recovery. I felt secure in his capable hands, and he made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He is incredibly informative and his attention to detail in his work is evident. Thank you!

Run away & Fast!
Doctor Gartner was recommended to me by a friend who had a BBL. I went in for a lift and an implant. The doctor was kind of dismissive to my questions and acted like what I had to say wasn’t valid or important. The day before surgery I had a feeling to cancel .. but I didn’t. 6 months later; I go in for a check up and he tells me my skin is basically the problem (too elastic) and that he needs to go back and re-do the lift!!! My final result is low facing nipples and boobs that hang just as low as my old natural ones did! I am super disappointed. $13,000 later plus months of my life wasted. After speaking with multiple different doctors; they all stated that him blaming my skin instead of admitting he may have made a mistake is wrong and that I should find a different doctor to do the lift again. I am so heart broken because he was so highly spoke about yet my experience with him was not the best. I’d find another doctor instead of going to him honestly.

Breast Reduction amazing results
My experience with doctor Gartner was great. He was completely right when he said that the procedure was painless. His staff including the nurse and anesthesiologist in the operating room were amazing from the beginning of process. I am very happy with the results of my surgery.

Awful tummy tuck job!
I had an extended tummy tuck/lipo done almost a year a go and I still have my dog ears and the center of my stomach has a huge bulge. I express my concerns soon as I started noticing it and at first he said I got you flat as I could, then I guess he noticed the dog ear and tried to fix it but now it’s worse!! My incision looks like a 3 year old cut it by the way m. What a waste of my money and extremely disappointing especially that he said double board certified doctor!!

Dr. G and his staff are truly and Genuinely amazing I went to visit dr garners office for breast implants I explained the look I was going for to dr Gartner and he understood the assignment most definitely the surgery was completely pain free I Chose not to get anesthesia I wake awake for the surgery. While Dr. G was performing the surgery I was actually singing along to the music he had playing I was extremely comfortable with during the procedure Alexandra ,Jose, and Gina explained everything I needed to do to prep for the surgery they gave me very clear instructions from the beginning to the end. I can’t express how satisfied I am with the whole process. Dr gartner is the Best doctor I’ve ever been to he’s patient caring and very knowledgeable I really appreciate dr.gartner and his staff for this amazing experience. And I want to thank you dr g so much for this wonderful transformation. I am definitely looking forward to returning in the future if I decide to have any more procedure

Absolutely wonderful experience. I first used Dr. Gartner for a breast augmentation in 2006 and recently needed to replace them this year and the results are amazing, recovery was easy and the after care was even better. I have had many friends and family use him and everyone has been so happy! I trust him completely!
