Patient Review

“Dr. Rechner and his practice showed the highest level of professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness though out my procedure. I had so many questions going in, and they took all the time I needed—which helped me to trust them with the procedure and recover fully. I am especially impressed with Dr. Rechner’s willingness to meet with me multiple times prior to surgery AND have his associate also meet with me to reassure me that a full (vs. partial) tummy tuck could be done. Dr. Rechner and his associate, Dr. Leppink, were the only surgeons who took the time to listen to me and understand why I was pursuing the procedure in the first place—and help me see what would bring the best results. I am so glad that I decided to trust their judgement i.e.- a full tummy tuck. I am delighted with my post-surgical body and feel that this procedure has changed my life in so many ways. I would not hesitate to return to this practice in the future. The single best thing was probably Dr. Rechner’s honesty. He explained the results I’d get from a partial tummy tuck (which was recommended by 6 other surgeons) vs. a full tummy tuck (which he recommended AND for which he explained aloud his reasoning and surgical plan). His insistence on understanding my own goals for the procedure, accompanied by his desire to get the best outcome, made all the difference. I’m very glad I got the full Tummy Tuck.”*- Tummy Tuck Patient, Dr. Rechner
