Bivik Shah Plastic Surgeon M.D.


I am 10 days post op from tummy tuck, thigh lift, and arm lift. Dr. Shah and his staff have been amazing!!!! I cannot say enough about the care I have receive from the entire team. While I was in the hospital my mother called Dr Shah to express concerns about my pain management and he returned her call right away on a Saturday afternoon. As far as the work is concerned it is AMAZING! I am still swollen and bruised but the difference is STUNNING. I have worked very closely with Veronica and Marybeth however everyone in this office is GREAT. I choose Dr. Shah after INTERVIEWING several other surgeons because he seemed the most knowledgeable about WLS patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Shah and if it were not for the fact that this was the most painful experience of my life (as I told it would be by Dr. Shah and his staff I would have a breast reduction. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING MY EXPERIENCE WITH DR. SHAH

I had a terrible experience with this doctor. My lipo is lumpy, uneven and deformed. Other doctors told me it was very bad work and that I have canulla marks all over. They are very deep. I'm not trying to be mean, but I got very bad lipo here. Now I have to pay for it all over again to get someone else to fix this mess. This has been a devastating experience and he and his office really don't seem to care a bit.

I visited Dr. Shah on 03/24/05. It was a very good experience. The only thing I was concerned about was his nurse trying to talk me into other procedures.
I had multiple surgeries on 10/14/05 which included hernia repair (Dr. Stephen Fisher), tummy tuck & arm lifts. I am still healing. Unfortunately, I do not have a right armpit and two other open wounds from my arm surgeries as of 12/01/05. Dr. Shah said I have to keep the wounds open and it can take 2-3 months for them to completely heal.

I have only had my first consult with Dr. Shah but I was very happy with him. They are sending my pictures to my and my husband's insurance to see if they will cover part of it. Hopefully everything goes well with that. I am so excited to have this done. I am having a tummy tuck and breast lift. From what I have seen so far with him he seems to be a good Dr. I have lost 127 pounds since my gastric bypass 3-1-01 and I have a lot of skin on my belly that I want to get rid of.
