Dr. Kara is truly a master at what she does! The first time that I met with her I knew I was in good hands. She has a calm confidence and knowledge of plastic surgery that instantly put me at ease before having my surgery. I am so thrilled with the results from my tummy tuck. Her staff is also very genuine and caring. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Kara Criswell has always shown genuine interest in my treatment and in my happiness with her results. I was referred by a friend who said Dr. Criswell takes her reputation very seriously and wants to ensure you are 1000% satisfied with your results. She was not wrong and I couldn’t be happier.

Dr. Kara Criswell and her staff makes you feel as if you were a family member. They stand 500% by your side and your personal needs as a patient! My neck lift and mini face lift were very successful and the results were exactly what I requested ....a natural, younger look where the world would not even realize I had plastic surgery!! Dr. Kara takes her time to listen to her patient’s needs and to make sure the patient is completely satisfied! She always makes you feel beautiful! I recommend Dr. Kara and her staff highly!! Best office staff ever! Thanks again Dr Kara and staff!
