Amazing experience here! Traveled from WI for his services and the entire staff was great. Highly recommend this skilled surgeon.
Very organized. Very professional while making it feel like the staff is family. The Doctor is very talented at his specialties, and his assistants are helpful and knowledgeable. Worth the expense!
Dr. Bednar is an artist – literally. He does amazing work. I don’t regret one second choosing him as my surgeon. I could not be any happier with my results! My experience with him and his whole team was excellent. I also appreciate his patient interaction. Straight forward and to the point. Would never go anywhere else!
Dr. Bednar and his staff are absolutely amazing. From the pre surgery care to pre-op to surgery and then after, I was consistently impressed by their compassion and knowledge. Fear of implant illness and repeat surgeries to replace them had me fearing I would never be able to have the body shape I desired. Dr. Bednar transformed not only my body, but also my outlook. I appreciate his attention to detail, his continuous availability, and the quick response times from his staff. I can’t imagine going anywhere else and highly recommend coming here!

Angela AndersonAmazing experience here! Traveled from WI for his services and the entire staff was great. Highly recommend this skilled surgeon.
Jaira GordonWent to see Julie for a consultation for what I thought were sun spots, along with a few other things. Julie heard my concerns, and taught me the science behind what was happening with my skin, along with the procedures that would work best for me. She knew I had an upcoming vacation and would need to heal quickly, but also have lasting results. Julie stayed late to perform an Aquagold Vampire Facial for me-and not even 24 hours later I am glowing. She talked me through the entire procedure, educating me through out. She is very educated. The office itself is state of the art, clean, the all the latest and greatest in gadgets. I think the best part of it all is Julie managed to get me top notch results, while working within my budget-and did not sell me things I didn’t need. Highly, Highly recommend!
Suellen SI had the threads and filler today by Julie Gallo! OMG, I could immediately see the difference and my 74 all of a sudden turned to 60! You do not have to tell her what to do, actually, please don't and let her do her magic. She was so through and such attention to detail. I am so happy with my results and will continue to see Julie! You should too!!
Amy GradyThe entire staff is pleasant and professional. Every experience has been outstanding. Julie is amazing with establishing an individual routine to meet your objectives and keep you loving your skin.
Gina MBeautiful Staff, professional, and awesomely skilled doctor surrounded by talent.
