I wanted to come back and leave a follow-up review now that it has been a little over six weeks since my surgery. Dr. Buckley has seen me for three follow-up appointments and has been consistently attentive to my needs throughout my recovery. She has provided detailed guidance on the healing process and always takes the time to ask if there is anything additional she can do to support my healing journey. As I mentioned in my initial review, I am extremely pleased with my results and deeply grateful for her surgical expertise, compassionate care, and dedication to her patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Buckley to anyone considering reconstructive surgery.
I am 5 days after my Lipo section procedure and I see results already!!!! I have seen few doctors before Dr. Barnavon all by recommendations. I have decided to go with Dr. Barnavon because his office is clean and new, the staff are so nice and welcoming. He explained from the beginning what we can do and what the results will look like by not necessarily promising me something that won't happen. The nurses are very professional and explained everything in regard of the surgery and what to expect after, also followed up with me the next day. I am so happy already and excited even more to see the results in the near future.
