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.

Dr. Gaines and his staff are amazing! I researched several Drs for months on having a Tummy Tuck & Breast Lift after excessive weight loss and after meeting Dr. Gaines I was so relaxed and impressed! He made me feel so at ease, I could tell he really enjoys the “art” of wanting someone to look the way they envision themselves! He was professional, yet personable and friendly! Dr. Gaines will get all my future services and any recommendations from me, he is truly a great man and surgeon!

Went in today for a consultation and I was highly impressed with him and all of his office staff. Top notch-all the way. I would not choose anyone else to do my surgery. Booked a date and excited to have him work on me!

I recently had Dr Gaines preform a brachioplasty on my arms. I am 71 years old and have always felt self conscious of my arms. Dr Gaines came highly recommended to me so I decided to research a procedure that I never dreamed I could accomplish. The price was better than I ever thought and I was put at ease from first visit to the present. I am a little over two weeks postoperative and have had to purchase new shirts that fit. His office staff is beyond wonderful. Thanks so much for everything.

Dr.Gaines listens, cares, gives you well thought out options and generally creates a "family atmosphere" in his office. I never feel rushed or pressured and instead full reassured that the best approach is being offered. One gets the impression that he truly loves his work and is interested in your total satisfaction. I find his staff friendly and personal. I highly recommend Dr. Gaines!

I have researched and research doctors all over Florida trying to find a plastic surgeon I could trust to take care of my daughter. After all the research Dr. Gaines is the best I found. He took care of my daughter. He was 100% available if the need arose after surgery. I have also referred other family and friends to Dr. Gaines. He is wonderful.
