I am a very detail oriented person and have very high expectations. I did a lot of research online & with friends & nurses who had undergone various cosmetic procedures. After that, I created a list of 5 plastic surgeons to visit in Houston. I chose Dr. Steely without hesistation after meeting with the other surgeons for my tummy tuck, lipo, and breast lift & reduction.
I had all three procedures performed less than 4 weeks ago, first time for ANY surgery, at St Joseph's.The hospital was better than average, though I felt the hospital experience could have been improved. (The food was edible only, my intake nurse was EXCELLENT, but my recovery nurses were scatter-brained, but friendly)
My actual results from the surgeries were excellent. I was back at work in less than a week, which was a lot sooner than I expected. My incisions are very narrow and the stiches are difficult to see if you are looking for them. (this is just 3 wks after surgery). Bruising was minimal, I only had significant bruising from the lipo areas, and that went away quite quickly. My breasts look great, my tummy is flat, and my saddlebags are gone!
The staff at Dr. Steely's office is great. As other's have stated they are friendly, available, not condescending AT ALL, and very very helpful. None of the staff or Dr Steely will pressure you in any way to get extra procedures done (that was not the case with other surgeons I have visited) or "sell" you in any way. They are very sincere in their concern for you and your recovery, possibly even more so AFTER you have paid and gotten the surgery completed (again, not the norm). They go the extra distance to provide you with all the info and things you need to recover quickly and look your best (topical creams, endermology treatments, compression garments, antibiotic creams, sports bra, information packets, etc).
Bottom line, I am not one to rate nearly any experience a 5 stars. I am a perfectionist. They met my HIGH standards. 5 stars!
Pros: Excellent Results & Surgical Skill , Excellent Care, quick appointments, ontime
Cons: parking garage near building is not my favorite
