Reviews of Specialists in Plastic Surgery (Plastic Surgery)

Lucy Cauthen

I had breast reduction surgery on 10/17/2017 and it has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. Dr. Carlino and his staff are so AWESOME!! He takes his time and gives you a realistic view of your situation and what you can expect. His bedside manner goes above and beyond, I work with surgeons and he is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. On the day of surgery I was a little anxious, but when he came into the room his presence and his words made me feel at ease because I could feel his anointing; and I was ready and confident I was in good hands. Thank you Dr. Carlino for changing my life with your artistry. God has given you a skill set to create works of art.

...Dr Blanton will be my surgeon. My first visit with him was so laid back a d professional. He's a great doctor and I'm glad I've chosen him for my surgery...

I came to the Laser Center. Was seen quickly and the scheduling wasn't months booked up like some places. I went to get a test spot done for 2 different type of lasers for scar removal. The facility is nice, elegant, and has alot of Jane Iredale products. I bought some obagi brightening masks also and can't wait to give them a try. This place doesn't Nicole and dime you for a test spot either like some others. Would recommend!

My 16 year old daughter had a breast reduction by Dr. Russell. He was the nicest plastic surgeon ever! He was so nice and my daughter felt so comfortable with him. She is a very shy and self-conscious teenager and I thought she would be very uncomfortable with a male doctor, but she said she was very comfortable with Dr. Russell. Every thing that he said was going to happen, happened exactly that way. My daughter had never been in a hospital except when she was born, so she was very nervous about being put under, however, she had 100% confidence in Dr. Russell. I was actually shocked that she was not spazzing out! He did such a great job and my daughter's experience was so altogether great that I went for a tummy tuck consultation with him. I am just waiting to be able to take the time off from work to have it done.

Scheduling review: I called several months ago, after hours, to make an appt and left a voice message. I received a call back the following day that went to my voice mail. I didn’t call back until today. Today, I called during business hours and secured an appt for later this week. No problems whatsoever with scheduling.

I had breast augmentation surgery to replace two 18 year old saline breast implants. The right implant had severe capsular contracture. Probably because of this, the new right implant sat slightly lower in the pocket than the left and the right breast had a dimple in the top of it. The new implants looked very good, but I asked if we could do something about the right breast being slightly lower and the dimple. Dr. Carlino did a second surgery to add 30 cc's of saline to the right breast implant and the result was PERFECT! My outcome EXCEEDED my expectations! The second surgery was a breeze, and I am THRILLED with the result! Dr. Carlino, Dave Armstrong (CRNA), and the OR staff made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed for both procedures. I asked MANY questions about the procedures and both Dr. Carlino and Dave patiently answered all of them. Having my questions answered so thoroughly made me feel in control of the surgeries and the recoveries. I had an absolutely excellent outcome and enjoyed the entire process! Yes, I enjoyed the surgeries! I felt that both Dr. Carlino and Dave were competent and caring, and that the surgeries would go well-- and they did! My case was very challenging due to the severe contracture in the right breast, and achieving the results that I did was stunning and due to Dr. Carlino's experience, judgment and caring. I truly believe that few surgeons would have been able to achieve the results that Dr. Carlino did! If you are considering any breast augmentation, revision or reconstruction surgery, you cannot do better than Dr. Carlino!

Amy and Lauren are the BEST!! I highly recommend them. They are truly professional and have an easy and calming manner. Always feel refreshed and like I have visited with my best girlfriends every time I see them!

Nyda Byrd

I was very reluctant and anxious to even discuss having a breast reduction. I had thought about this surgery for years before ever getting the courage to pursue it. The consultation visit and meeting Dr. Daluvoy was wonderful. He went into detail about what type of patient the surgery was for and the details of the procedure. I scheduled my surgery before leaving the office that day. I felt relaxed and confident that he was the surgeon for me. The staff were so great and comforting each visit. The day of surgery I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Daluvoy and staff assured me that I would be fine and I was. I knew what to expect and what to signs to look for if anything began to happen. What I regret most is not having this surgery sooner. I was very pleased from the beginning to end. Great surgeon and great facility. I'm so thankful for them both.

Noah Jacques

All the workers here treated me with a lot of care and really showed concern for how I felt. They really helped me and I won't forget them for the rest of my life. They were like family. Dr. Oschwald gave me great advice and helped with a lot of my personal decisions.

Karen Pellath

I had basal cell cancer on my lower back that required me to have Dr. Daluvoy reconstruct the skin on my back to close a rather large incision that was created by the oncology surgeon. The closure of the wound was complex and time consuming. It was Dr. Daluvoy's patience and skill that allowed me to go home the same day and to avoid having a second incision from a skin graft. I cannot say enough about the skill of Dr. Daluvoy during and after the surgery. Being a nurse, I have very high standards as to what a surgeon should be and I can say, he exceed my expectations and more.

I had a great experience with Ivy at Specialists in Plastic Surgery, PA. I have found Ivy to be very responsive and talented in Cool Sculpting. My consultation and procedure was very effective. I did not experience a lot of pain or discomfort. The results met my expectations. I would highly recommend Ivy @ Specialists in Plastic Surgery, PA for your Cool Sculpting needs.

Jessica Allston

Dr. Daluvoy was the best and I am so thankful for everything he did! I got breast reduction in spring of 2019 and I could not be happier. From the start, he was honest and comforting about the surgery and he did an amazing job! I am free of pain and I have gained more confidence and I have him and the SIPS team to thank!

Michele Desmet

I couldn't even get past the receptionist. I filled out the "contact me" form online, they never contacted me so I called. Because I am an insurance case, they would barely talk to me. The physician I was interested in takes cash only cases. Then I was to decide on the spot about another doctor. I need to research my physicians. The receptionist, Michelle, kept cutting me off. Horrible first impression. Sad because this is who my surgeon recommended.

Kasey Parker

My surgeon was Dr. Blanton and he is amazing. I had a tummy tuck done in Feb of 2018 and he did an absolutely amazing job! He has the best bed side manner and so friendly. He helped with everything I needed. I just had a thighplasty today Jan of 2019 and so far super happy with it. I will be going back for a couple more surgeries in thr future. (Excess skin from weightloss). I am so thrilled he is helping me be able to display my hardwork from the last 10 years.

I would highly recommend Dr. Blanton is you are considering a plastic surgery procedure! He was informative, attentive to my concerns, and has such an easy-going demeanor. He and his staff made me feel comfortable with my decision throughout the entire process. Dr. Blanton is a perfectionist, and my results are much more than I hoped for. After years of debating, I'm so glad I took the recommendation of a friend to see Dr. Blanton!

I feel like myself again and it’s a great feeling! I was so uncomfortable in my everyday life due to discomfort associated with my previous exchange. I now have soft, natural feeling breasts and that is all due to Dr. Carlino’s expertise. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and professional. He addressed all of my concerns and questions. I am very satisfied with the results of my revision surgery and very grateful for all he has done for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Carlino and his practice for anyone in need of breast revision surgery! I also want to mention, Jessica and Courtney were extremely helpful when I had any questions. The front staff were very warm, welcoming and professional! THANK YOU ALL!

Ashtyn Turner

Dr. Daluvoy and the entire staff at Specialists in Plastic Surgery are wonderful. Along with my other physicians, I felt that I had the absolute best team possible. I only had positive experiences over the past year and a half with this group. Dr. Daluvoy and his staff seemed genuinely concerned in my well-being, both the medical and psychological. He prepared me very well emotionally before and after surgery. The results were better than I hoped for, too. I love this group and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reconstruction post mastectomy.

This by far has been the most pleasant experience ever, even the not so fun part of the healing process! Dr Carlino is the most friendly, thorough and sympathetic physician I have ever met. He truly cares about your wellbeing before, during and after your procedure. I had major abdominal work done due to disfigurement and a large bulge in the center of my abdomen. I haven't felt right for years, and I was very embarrassed by the look of it. Everything Dr Carlino said he would do during the consult, he did that a more! He is a phenomenal surgeon who I would trust with my own children. The nurses there are also awesome. They are very attentive and knowledgeable as well. The girls at the front desk are very sweet as well. They always ask how everything is coming along and how you're feeling. I would recommend this practice to everyone!

Jennifer Jones

If you are considering plastic surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Blanton with the Specialists in Plastic Surgery. You will not find a kinder, more genuine doctor who listens and makes you feel completely comfortable and who simply does the most excellent work...he is truly skilled at his craft! You will not only love him, but everyone in the office as well as they spa-like practice.

Quality experience from the beginning. Respectful and helpful front desk and back office staff. The doctor was incredibly professional and the quality of his work is outstanding. Life-changing actually. I am so, so happy with the results and the after care. I saw Dr Carlino. And if any additional plastic surgery is in my future, I would not hesitate to return to see him again.

Dr. Russell and the team are the best! I didn't know what to expect for my rhinoplasty and breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Russell explained everything fully and made me feel confident in what I was going into. I left the design of my nose completely up to him and discussed my desire to have an overall naturally enhanced look.The 3-D scanned picture helped so much when making my decision. After my consultation, my boyfriend and I met with Peggy. She was especially wonderful with coordinating payments and the surgery. My recovery immediately post-op was painless and easy. I stopped taking my pain medications after 2 days. A couple weeks post-op I had the splint taken off my nose, I cried when I saw my new nose! I had been obnoxiously self conscious of it before surgery. Now I don't have to be hyper aware of which way I'm facing people. I am a year and three months post surgery, and over the moon with the way I look now! I will continue to recommend friends and family to them, especially Dr. Russell. The nurses and receptionists are very easy to coordinate with, and are prompt when responding to questions. Thank you Specialists in Plastic Surgery!!

I have had the most positive patient experience with Dr. Blanton and the rest of the SIPS team-better than I could’ve imagined. Dr. Blanton is incredibly personable and kind, and the rest of the SIPS nurses and staff have been as well. I am completely pleased with my breast reduction surgery, and I can confidently say that it is one of the best decisions I have made for myself as a 22 year old woman.

Danielle Tripp

I had multiple surgeries conducted at SIP and my experience has been nearly perfect. My surgeon, Dr. Carlino, came recommended to me by two different sources, 1 personal and 1 professional- this spoke volumes to me. He truly created results for my physique that I could have never dreamed possible. Dr. Carlino is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, well articulated and patient focused, and as a nurse, I am sometimes hard to please. The office staff is incredibly polite and patient, the nurses, especially the surgical nurses, were top notch. I even developed a fondness of my anesthesiologist, which I imagine is a person who often goes under recognized. No place is 100% perfect, and in fairness of a true review, I do think the after care could use a little sprucing up, just as far as clear, consistent instructions, what to buy and what to expect. The process is "good enough" but has an opportunity to be great. I am so comfortable with my surgical outcome, that I have already lined up some additional "spa" services, and feel confident in staying with this practice to keep me looking healthy, refreshingly youthful and preserving my shape. You will not be disappointed with SIP! ~Danielle, Raleigh nurse/customer

Joni Priest

I had an excellent experience. Everything was explained and the follow up was exactly what I expected. I would recommend this facility to anyone.

Eulonda Epps

Dr. Daluvoy has changed my life and for that I am thankful. I had Breast Reduction Mammoplasty procedure done in Oct. 2017. I am so glad that I did, from the moment I met Dr. Daluvoy he made me feel comfortable as he assured me that he would reduce the size of my breast in a way that was proportioned to my body. He did just that!! I have gained more self confidence and as of today I am free of neck, shoulder and back pain as a result of this surgery. I am so happy with the results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Daluvoy to anyone interested in Breast Reduction Mammoplasty. Thank you Dr. Daluvoy and the whole team at SIPS!!!

Deborah Gonzales

Dr. Daluvoy is by far the best doctor that I have had care from. As a cancer patient who required extensive reconstructive surgery, I was more than impressed with his expertise in reconstruction. Moreover, he has an extraordinary ability to comfort you and make you feel like everything will be ok. Dr. Daluvoy has earned my respect and admiration for his compassionate and delicate method in patient care.

Amy Sue Elphick

Amy McInnis is the bomb for all your fillers and botox!!! And she does it very naturally as if you just look refreshed! No desperate housewife duck lips here!!! Lol

Season Moore

Highly recommended from little to big procedures. The entire staff is great, doctors are top notch and care goes above and beyond.

I have had a wonderful experience with Coolsculpting and Ivy is the BEST

Mary Roussel

Dr. Blanton and his team are wonderful! Dr. Blanton by all means is a specialist and I highly recommend him for plastic surgery! His team is very pleasant and thoughtful and everyone made me feel welcome and comfortable. I am very happy with my breast reduction ! Most of all I feel I made a good decision to have it finally done. I can’t say enough about my experience! I feel great!

Karen Salinas

I don’t even know where to start. Dr. Oschwald is amazing and very understanding, he listened to all my concerns and was very informative about my procedure. Also the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming! I would highly recommend this office to anyone whether you are looking for a small or large procedure. This place is truly a blessing!

John Thomas

I saw Dr. Carlino to discuss removal of a large Lipoma on the back of my neck. He and the staff took the time to review my case and provided me with options for removal. In the end, I chose out-patient surgery at their office. A week before the surgery, I met with his nurse who went over the surgery and what I needed to do before and after the surgery in detail. The day of the surgery, everything went like clock work, and I was back home within a few hours. The office staff called to check on me the next two days. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend both Dr. Carlino and the entire practice to anyone considering surgery.

Lala Correa

I remember the first time I saw Amy, she was highly recommended by a friend. I was pretty nervous but I knew I wanted something done to my lips. She answered all my questions and really put my mind at ease. I walked out that day and I felt taller. Not because I had grown in height but in confidence, I couldn't believe it, my lips were there! Thank you Amy for making my everyday life better !

Julie Byrd

Amy McInnis is a highly skilled, expert injector with an incredible amount of training courses under her belt. She genuinely cares about her patients and not only leaves them looking better but also feeling better about themselves after their visit with her.

Valerie Duval

Dr. Carlino is amazing!

Randy Hayward

First off, I have never written a negative review in my life. Obviously I am very upset and concerned about how Specialists in Plastic Surgery does business. I was referred to this surgeon by my friend (happens to be an attorney) for their specialization in Scar Revision. After a very serious motorcycle accident, I was left with bad scarring on my arm, knee, and back. Over the summer I experienced uncomfortable staring from people and it bothered me so bad I wanted to pursue treatment to get the scar blended with surrounding skin. This surgeon refused to give me a paid estimate for treatment because I had spoke to my attorney friend (not signed). They were so spooked about the attorney they told me to pay to see a dermatologist to get a referral to another plastic surgeon. Very upset they would not take my $150 for 15 minutes of their time to assess my skin damage.

Jorge Rivera

I wish my experience with this office would have been as great as others reviewing. I called this office to get a consultation at the request of my dermatologist to remove a moderate dysplastic mole. I was told that mole removal was handled by a specific coordinator and the coordinator was unavailable at the time, which is fine (we all get busy). I left a call back message and moved on. A few days pass and I don't hear back from my call back request so I call the office again and get the same story (and leave another call back). This loop repeats for 5 times until the last time when I get a call back (after complaining) around 4:55 pm. Unfortunately I missed the call (driving), so I called back a few minutes after and got the voicemail (office closes at 5). I then called during business hours one more time and found the coordinator was unavailable. At that point, I gave up. C'est la vie.

Amy is wonderful for fillers and Botox. All of the doctors here are so personable and I am always greeted with a smile by the sweet girls at the reception desk.
