Below are excerpts from the many letters sent to us by our patients, both surgical and non-surgical. You can read these,along with patient poetry and stories during your consultation.
| From Ryan Kelley of NBC's "The Biggest Loser"
The staff from Dr. Reath's office are the greatest!!!! They helped me to look and feel fantastic for the Live finale of NBC's "The Biggest Loser" and I am forever indebted to them for that. I went from extremely self-conscious about my skin and wrinkles to "hamming it up" for all of the cameras. I would have never thought that I could feel that great about myself and I owe it all to them. Thank you so much!!! - Ryan Kelley |
"I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Reath and his staff. I had a breast augmentation and am thrilled with the results. He and his staff are so professional, yet make you feel comfortable. Dr. Reath even calls you himself after going home from surgery. I have recommended Dr Reath to three of my friends."
"It has been four months since my Portrait Plasma procedure and the results actually exceeded my expectations. My skin is tighter and firmer and I really do look years younger."
"Thank you for everything. Because of your kindness and patience and concern, my pre-op and post-op experience was great. You always made me feel at ease and I thank you especially for your patience with my nervous husband!"
(From a body contouring patient) "Dr. Reath, All you need to do is look at my before picture and me now to know you are truly gifted. You never treated me as just a number and explained every step so well....very professional and personal. Even when I called after hours and emailed with questions and concerns-you answered right back and let me know what to do. I know you do this everyday, but you haven't forgotten how scary and overwhelming it can be to the patient. I feel honored to have met you and lucky to have had you do my surgery."
"This is the little girl that was in the wreck on December 19, 1997. I was three years old and you did plastic surgery on my forehead. I would like to thank you for helping me and now you can barely see the scar. I'm 11 years old and my Mom just told me how you did the surgery without it being scheduled. I thought that was really sweet of you. And I will pray for you every night so you will live a long healthy life. And if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't feel as good about myself as I do today."
(From a reconstructive surgery patient) "I wanted to send you a graduation announcement and let you know I am doing wonderful. I have really come a long way since 1998. You'll never know how much you helped me and how grateful I am to you-not only for the magnificent job you did with my surgeries-but how your caring nature affected my entire recovery. You are truly a very gifted doctor and do such wonderful work."
"I want to thank you for the wonderful procedures you performed for me this past fall. I am absolutely thrilled with my results! I am confident you receive compliments and lots of gratitude with every patient, but I felt it critical to write you this letter. I love my two children with all of my heart, but the lasting effects of pregnancy and the many months following delivery really takes a toll on a young woman's figure. I had lost my self confidence and my pride. For being in my early twenties I felt very ashamed, very unattractive and very hopeless.After many months of research and heavy debate I made the call to your office.
From the first time I spoke with Theresa and set up my consultation, to my initial visit to your office I felt very secure in my decision to have chosen you as my plastic surgeon. Preparing for my consultation was very intimidating and rather frightful. Your high level of professionalism and kindness put me at ease from the very beginning.
The imitation bra you include in your consultation is genius. To date I have not heard of any other plastic surgeons that use the device. It is definitely an asset to you. Your staff treated me with respect and kindness through each and every step. Each visit was made very personal.The fee for the procedure was presented to me in a very professional but yet caring way. It was completely explained to me in a manner I could understand and overall was presented wonderfully.
My surgery was scheduled in a very timely fashion, I was expecting a much longer wait time that I received. The day of my surgery was a very edgy day for my husband and I but again you continued to amaze me. Everything was handled in a timely manner and your staff kept me informed of everything that was going on around me. That alone made me comfortable.
The call after my procedure was very nice also!! Again it was very personal. It continued to show that to the end you show great concern for your patients. You and your staff are absolutely magnificent!! It was well worth the long drive to have had used you as my plastic surgeon. I will definitely return to only you for any additional procedures I chose to have and you can count on my recommendation to anyone and everyone I know to be interested in plastic surgery."
(From a breast reconstruction patient) "I just wanted to let you know that I went to see my gynecologist yesterday and she marveled at how "beautiful" my breast reconstruction turned out. She said it was the best she had ever seen and asked me who the surgeon was. Of course I bragged on Dr. Reath and his staff and she said she knew who she would send her future mastectomy patients to."
(From an online forum) "I just wanted to thank my doctor on this public forum for creating more than I could have ever dreamed of. Every time I pass a mirror, I can't explain the feeling I get when I see how I look. I used Dr. Reath of Knoxville, TN. I found him using a board-certified plastic surgeons site. He did a wonderful job and is very patient with demanding people like me. I have worked hard on my body and this was the one thing I could not do myself. You did a great job, and they say it's due to artistic eye, and I believe you are a Michelangelo. The size, position and recovery all more than I could have imagined, and I am so glad I chose you over the others! Keep making women beautiful!"
Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse and Restylane Letters
"I wanted to make an improvement in my appearance that people would notice, but I didn't't want to look unnatural. After my Botox and Juvederm treatments, I just looked very refreshed, like I had been on a fabulous vacation. I got many compliments on how great I looked, but no-one asked me if I had anything done."
"As a man who just turned 40 I was concerned that I was starting to look my age. First of all, I was impressed at how painless the procedure was, you have a very soft touch and continually made sure that I was comfortable during the treatment. Afterward, I was pleased at how immediate my Juvederm results were. The folds in my lower face were smoother and diminished. The botox has lightened the heaviness in my brow line, making my eyes appear more open and relaxed. In my opinion, this one hour procedure has helped me look 5 years younger."
"I find Restylane, combined with your skill, has given me a great result that appears to be more lasting than Collagen. It is certainly a great mood elevator, and what a pleasure to see the results each day. I think most women in my age group hate the lines around the mouth and find thinning lips to be one of the most discouraging symptoms of aging.
This is especially true for those of us that feel that our outside image doesn't reflect the age we feel. I am grateful for you putting me on to this."
Vibra-Infusion and Skin Care Letters
From one of our very first Vibra-Infusion patients- "I recently had my first Vibra-Infusion treatment and was so impressed! Whereas with MicroDermabrasion, my skin felt cleaner, with Vibra-Infusion my skin also felt tighter, firmer and so much smoother. And it lasts much longer. I kept asking my friends to touch my face. Now they all want to try it."
From Dr. Reath's son who suffers from Keratosis pilaris, or KP- "I was really bummed when the dermatologist told us there was really nothing that could be done about the red rashy spots on my upper arms. Since I have been having Vibra-Infusion treatments, my arms are less red, smoother, hurt less and are less oily. I don't have to worry about taking off my shirt in the summer and all the girls want to touch me. (Just kidding Dad)"
"I was involved in a wedding over the weekend and spent time with friends who had not seen me since December. I received several compliments, which gave me a boost of self-esteem."
