Staff was amazing. Really nice and kept me calm the whole time. Melissa nurse was great. Helped me post care. She kept me comfortable , no pain. Dr Bednar is very skilled at what he does . I would totally recommend Dr. Bednar. He is an artist.

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!
