Reviews of Sumner A. Slavin, MD (Plastic Surgery)

S A

My daughter is 20 years old. Her left breast was two sizes smaller than her right. Initially, at age 17, before being introduced and knowing about Dr. Slavin, we went to a Dr. closer to our area (Vermont/New Hampshire). She performed a breast augmentation on my daughter's smaller breast, and put in an implant. The result was very unsatisfactory, and definitely deemed the necessity for further surgeries. That is when we met Dr. Slavin. He was recommended to us by another Dr. in his field, who knew of his highly skilled work. He has performed surgery twice on my daughter. Once to correct the previous surgeons mistakes, which was multifaceted, and left her with a breast that was near perfect (obviously no breast is perfect). We knew at some point she would need to have her right breast (the one without an implant) lifted to match the left one. He just performed that surgery for her, and she now has two beautiful breasts that match. I can not begin to tell you how grateful we are to Dr. Slavin. His expertise in his field, and his wonderful disposition and personality made both experiences wonderful. He followed up, and talked to us personally each time. He truly cares about his patients, and is extremely skilled. My daughter is a beautiful girl, and to see her so sad about her breasts at 17 years old broke my heart. He gave her all her confidence back, and she is so happy. I would highly recommend Sumner Slavin to anyone looking for an expert to help correct any problems that require plastic surgery.

Dr. Slavin and his staff are amazing! From the first initial phone call through the entire surgical process and follow up I was treated as if I were the only patient. Everyone was caring and informative and I felt like I was in good hands. Dr. Slavin is very compassionate and listens intently. His skill set speaks for itself. I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Slavin to anyone looking for a quality plastic surgeon.

Can't say enough about this doctor, staff was friendly, efficient and the doctor was wonderful. He takes the time to understand what your expectations are and meets them. Definitely recommend him!

Dr. Slavin is a doctor who takes his time talking to his patients and shows a genuine caring for the person's feelings. He creates beautiful results with his gifted hands and has a perfect sense of proportion. He has the ability to really listen and never gives the impression that he is rushing. I have, and will continue to, recommend him with the highest praise.

I thought Dr. Slavin and his office staff were both responsive and thoughtful. However Dr. Slavin's actual skill as a surgeon left much to be desired. I was to have a chin lift and tummy tuck. Let's just say my tummy tuck was totally unsuccessful. My flabby belly still hung over the old scar from where my c-sections were from my babies. It was necessary for me to get another surgeon to revise and redo the tummy tuck. As far as the chin left went, in addition to the terrible scarring, one of my ears became something called a "angel ear", which means that the ear lobe got stretched down my neck towards my shoulders. Needless to say, I had to have my other surgeon fix that, as well. All in all, I was out tens of thousands of dollars.

For years I’ve heard Dr. Slavin is the best doctor when it comes to breast augmentation so I decided to go to him for a consultation. I was so impressed with him. He explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. He is such a kind and caring doctor. I had my surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My boobs are literally perfect! He is definitely the BEST! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Slavin took his time to exam me thoroughly. I was having breast reduction and would recommend him to everyone. His office staff was very polite and professional and Dr. Slavin built a case with my insurance company to have my procedure covered. This man does not just care about money. Everyone's experience is different; however, I can assure you this office and Dr. Slavin are very professional. I will be returning for additional surgery I need. Additional note: After three years my breast have healed well with minimal scarring and they are perfect. When I lose this 25 lbs I have been trying to lose, they will look even more amazing.

By far the best plastic surgeon in the Boston area. Before my last procedure two nurses at the Beth Israel Needham, said they would not themselves go to anyone else! He takes his time, is thorough, the results speak for themselves. Thank-you, Dr. Slavin!

I am so incredibly happy with my results! Dr. Slavin really took the time with me in our initial consultation to explain the surgery and what I could expect. He was so kind and caring throughout the whole process. I interviewed a bunch of doctors before choosing Dr. Slavin and I know I made the right choice. He truly is not just a doctor, he is an artist and a very skilled surgeon!

I couldn't ask for a better experience and outcome from anyone. Dr Slavin helped me decide on the best outcome for breast augmentation and I couldn't be happier with the results. The entire staff helped me with anything I could have possibly needed during my healing process. Although the healing process took a bit longer for me, Dr Slavin helped me get through the process with ease. I couldn't be happier with my results and would definitely recommend Dr Slavin to anyone as my results are more than I could have dreamed of. Thank you again for everything ...

Stay away!!!! Cares about making money, not you. Waits can be 3 hours plus, he double books, does not listen and has over booked surgeries so everything is rushed and you will be left highly dissatisfied. He should not be operating.

Karen Hamilton

Dr. Slavin is the best! He cares about his patients.

Careless, not up to date on latest procedures and no before and after on website beware
