Testimonial for Procedure: Facelift
My decision to even have plastic surgery was not an easy one for me. I tend to be a perfectionist, and I was concerned that I could actually look worse rather than better. I had seen pictures of a number of famous people with whom I would not trade places.
I had visited Dr. Flint previously for collagen injections, and though she was naturally my first choice for surgery (should I decide to have it), I was not convinced until I spoke confidentially with her nurse at that time, Denise. Her own husband is an orthopedic surgeon, and he spoke very highly of Dr. Flint in the operating room and of her reputation. I also asked friends about other doctors, their methods and workmanship. I determined that I definitely wanted a surgeon who would keep me in a hospital overnight. In all of my research, I never heard one negative comment regarding Dr. Flint’s surgical expertise.
Dr. Flint’s honesty and forthright approach also appealed to me. She told me what to expect, how to prepare and how to take care of myself after the procedure for the best results. We also discussed “our” goals - I would look rested and refreshed, not startled or surprised. She favored a natural look and I liked that. She always appeared confident and sure of herself, never tentative. I wanted that.
Six months following my surgery during my yearly physical, my internist at Mayo Clinic examined my scars, complimented me on my results and said I should be very happy. He was impressed; he wanted to know who had done my work. A year after my procedure, my OB/GYN, of whom I had been a patient for twenty-one years, was surprised when I told him of my decision. He said that he thought I had just been on an extended vacation. He too examined my scars, looked closely at the surgical sites and was very impressed. He too said I should be really happy. I am.
I honestly can’t speak positively enough about the office staff. They make a terrific team, and as a patient, I benefited directly from their patience, their helpful attitude and most especially their friendliness. I so appreciate the ambiance in the office; I can always count on it. I consider all of them friends now – a totally unexpected bonus for a plastic surgery procedure!
Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Augmentation
Dear Doctor Flint,
It has been a year now since I have had plastic surgery that you performed. I would like you to know that I am very pleased with my plastic surgery experience. I feel more confident and more at peace with myself than I ever have. I had a breast augmentation, lift, tummy tuck and liposuction. I decided to have you as my surgeon after talking to my medical doctors that I have been seeing for years. I had discussed with them that I was going to use you. Every doctor and every one I knew in the medical field told me that you were and excellent choice. You were very well known and had an excellent reputation. I also have a friend you performed a breast reduction for.
Your office staff was very helpful and caring. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable with any and all questions I had before, during and after surgery. I felt I was in the best of care at the Greenbaum Hospital. I felt very relaxed with the anestegeologist as he listened to my concerns regarding some medications I am allergic to and made me feel at ease with the surgery. I felt very comfortable knowing that you hand picked these doctors as they play a very important role in the surgery. Once again because of your reputation I felt I made the best decision.
If I ever decide to have plastic surgery in the future I will definitely contact you.
Yours truly,
MB

My selection of a good plastic Surgeon, took about one year.
I used the internet, I spoke with friends that had surgery, I used the Phoenix Magazine Top Doc's issue. I visited 4 Doctors, I spoke with 3 more on the phone. I had a list of questions, and I got the answers and stated to make my choice.
Dr. Flint was my choice.
I liked her straight forward and to the point approach. She told me what to expect. I would look well rested, refreshed, and some years younger. She said I should not expect to look like a 20 or 30 year old.
And this I liked. There can be only one Joan Rivers!
I did not want that deer in the headlights look.
Dr. Flint answered all my questions. And this is the best part, she will answer an email in a New York Minute! She is there with that response always.
I spoke with the Nurses in the surgery center, and they told me she is great and has great hands!
My O.B. , G.Y,N. also told me that Dr. Flint was terrific.
The good hands thing again. This I really liked hearing!
Dr. Flint's office team is terrific. Joni will always have time and patience for you. Believe me. I did call the office with a good amount of questions. Joni always had an answer, and she was so pleasant.
After the surgery, my calls and emails were always answered.
I went into the office for the check ups, and if I felt I needed to be seen, the office always got me in for an appointment.Janet was great about that .
I liked the fact that Dr. Flint kept the patient overnight. I did not want to go home after the face lift.
My dear husband is not a nurse. He is a golfer!!
In fact, during my search, if the Dr. didsend the patient home the same day,that Dr. was off my list.
I am happy to look refreshed and well rested.
Thanks Dr. Flint.
