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.

Is Dr. Bosshardt still practicing?
I had a birthmark removed from my face by Dr. Bosshardt decades ago. I hated it and was very self-conscious about it. Having it removed changed my life. I was so thrilled with the results I thought he was God. However, over the years since then, I have had a few more procedures done and, unfortunately, I've had a couple of issues concerning these procedures. Because my first procedure went so well I didn't want to complain. But I really would like to have something done to correct the problem. So instead of blasting him in the public eye I would really like to try and schedule a consultation with him in hopes that we can come to some sort of solution that is acceptable to both of us.

I would like to thank Dr. Bosshardt for making my breasts so beautiful. Since having the surgery six years ago, I have lived my best life and my self-confidence was boosted. I traveled the world and visited India, Paris, and saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time off the coast of San Francisco. I have met the love of my life and finally completed my Bachelor of Science and Nursing. I will begin working to achieve an Advanced Practice Registered Nursing Masters program in August so the best is certainly yet to come. I highly recommend Dr. Bosshardt to anyone that is looking for self improvement.

I had a breast Reduction done by Dr. Bosshardt. He and his staff were amazing. As this having been the first ever surgery I have had. Dr. Bosshardt answered my questions, made me very aware of any issues that might come with surgery. But above all he did a fantastic job on the reconstruction. I feel so much better. Dr. Bosshart You helped change my life and I am so grateful for all the work you and your staff have done to help me feel better. Also your staff is so kind and understanding with any questions I have had after the surgery with the healing process. Thank you.

I HAD BREAST INPLANTS SEVERAL TIMES WITH DR BOSSHARDT AND MY LAST SURGERY WAS 2015 AND WHEN I TOLD HIM I WANTED GO BIGGER HE SAID OK. AFTER I A YEAR I NOTICE I DID NOT LOOK ANY BIGGER AND WHEN WENT IN TO FOR MY FOLLOW UP HE PRETTY WELL TOLD ME THAT I WAS CRAZY IN MY REPORT. I CAME TO CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA TO GET A SECOND OPINION . I WAS TOLD THAT I DID NOT GET WHAT I REQUESTED ON PREVIOUS SURGERY, SO I PAY FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T GET AND THIS IS SO WRONG. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DR BOSSHARDT. YOU ALWAYS NEED TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY SURGERIES DONE WITH DR BOSSHARDT.

My blepheroplasty (eyelids) results were disastrous. My eyes look nothing alike. Both have webbing (folds of skin in the inner corner). On one there’s a big bump at the start of the cut and a puff of fat above the scar. The scars are WAY too high. We addressed my concerns. In one breath he said I looked great and then offered to fix them for free. Considering what happened when I paid, I said no. I hope someday I can look in the mirror without sobbing. A nightmare I can’t wake up from.

Dr. Bosshardt performed reconstructive surgery for my son. Dr. Bosshardt is caring and spent a lot of time explaining the surgery to my son. I would refer any of my family or friends to him.
