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.

I am so disappointed with Dr. Niccole and my surgery. I went to him because of his many years of experience and with his reputation I thought I could trust him. I spent $12,000 on an implant exchange and was excited to see the results. As I was going into the operation, Dr. Niccole told me that he needed to stitch up the sides of my breasts on the inside in order for the surgery to look good. I asked if my recovery would be longer and he said not to worry because he was doing this for free and you wouldn't want to have to have another surgery. After the surgery, I was so disappointed with my results. I actually looked worse than before. How could this be? At my post operation appointment, I found out Dr. Niccole never did the stitching that he said he was going to do and that's why it looked so bad. He now suggested I have another operation to fix it and wanted to charge me for it. To tell a patient what exactly you are going to do during surgery and then not do it is incomprehensible

I decided to get my breasts augmented because they were slightly saggy 12 years after I gave birth to my son. Dr. Niccole understood I had no experience with this and he explained everything. He was really honest. I'd wanted bigger implants but he told me what would look more proportionate with my body, and now afterwards I see he was right. The surgery went well, and the post-op directions were really clear. Now, I am saving for rhinoplasty with Dr. Niccole!

He did an amazing job fixing a botched tummy tuck by another surgeon that had required skins grafts over 13 operations and resulted in my belly button being in a weird place. Dr. Niccole fixed it, leaving a scar no bigger than a c-section scar. He also did a great job with a breast augmentation. My body looks great and my husband and I are both ecstatic. Dr. Niccole is also a very easy doctor to speak with and is so funny.
