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.

Poor results. Poor attitude.
My partial face lift was back to the same shape as before surgery after three years. I had multiple friends take me to post surgery check ups and they were shocked at his behavior. He is arrogant and rude.

Disaster
I went thru a neck and face lift and I was not happy at all. My Face jowls still hang and the skin around my lips looks worse, I have some type of weird nerve issue on the right side of my face. I have posted how I feel before but it always get taken off their website like I am sure all the unhappy people do too.

I had more then one surgery under Dr. Shire in 2004 and 2007. I'm thinking about another one. Dr. Shire is the only doctor I would consider.

Excellence in education, care, and results. I traveled 80 miles to have Dr. Shire as my surgeon because I had seen good results on a coworker who had surgery. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of care I received and so happy with the results. Renewed but natural. Would definitely recommend Dr. Shire. Could not have had a better experience!

After consulting with other local plastic surgeons, the choice to go with Dr. Shire was very easy. He specializes in facial cosmetic surgery and has perfected his craft. Why would you go to someone who only does facial work a few times a year when you could go to Dr. Shire who is the expert specialist in this field? He is very thorough about his treatment plan and what you can and cannot do during your healing time. I am very pleased with my outcome. I didn't need more than a Tylenol!

Dr. Shire has a "one size fits all" approach to face lift procedures. 33 or 63 his surgery techniques are the same and based on skin and muscles retracting and maintaining that retraction. His forehead lift consists of loosening the skin from the underlying muscle; muscle will retract, skin will reattach and voila, a forehead lift. NOT. Without quarterly Botox injections my forehead, eyebrows and lids droop. Neck slackness has returned worse than 16 mos ago/presurgery. Need a surgeon to fix
