Reviews of Halvorson Plastic Surgery (Plastic Surgery)

Jackie Edwards

I approached Dr. Halvorson about a breast reduction in hopes of relieving unexplained chronic pain following a thoracic surgery. He was honest in his assessment that this might not be the answer. I decided to proceed anyway since he confirmed I was a good candidate for this particular procedure. He presented information concisely. He and his staff were compassionate, and they always made me feel welcome - never rushed. While this surgery was not a cure for the pain I had been experiencing, it did improve how I felt in other unexpected ways. Dr. Halvorson used his interpersonal skills, medical knowledge, and artistic talents to improve my life. I will seek his expertise again if need arises and gladly recommend him to others.

Being a young breast cancer patient and losing both breast was not an easy time for me. But thanks to Dr. Halvorson and the amazing team there I didn't feel like I was losing a thing. The whole process within this facility was amazing. They were kind, caring, and the best I could ever ask for! Their work is also outstanding! I would recommend this facility to anyone and everyone. You not only get what you are looking for, you recieve that and a second family as well to get you through the process. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Halvorson was personable and the epitome of professional through my surgery. We were uncomfortable going into it, and he/his staff explained the process thoroughly from start to finish. By the time the surgery ended, we were so pleased we were discussing "thank you" notes etc in the car on the way home. Blessed to have him in the area! A huge thank you to Dr. Halvorson and his team!

I came to Dr. Halvorson in March 2018 inquiring about breast augmentation surgery. I was looking for a multi-skilled surgeon in the Asheville area with outstanding credentials and excellent reviews, and that’s exactly what I found with Doctor Halvorson and his team. My first impression of Dr. Halvorson was that he is very personable, knowledgeable, and an exceedingly talented expert in his profession. He explained the entire surgery process in depth, including my implant options, what to expect before and after surgery, risks involved, etc. He answered my entire list of questions before I even asked them! Jennifer, the clinical assistant, did an outstanding job of explaining the pre/ post-op guidelines. She gave me her cell phone number to call her directly with any questions or concerns regarding my surgery. She even arranged for a staff member to come stay with my daughter in the waiting room while my husband was given my post-op instructions in the OR. Savannah, the patient coordinator, was so kind to stay with my daughter while my husband was given post-op instructions in the OR. My daughter is very shy, but she loved Savannah and was very comfortable with her. When I came back in for my post-op follow up appointment, Savannah treated my daughter to a ballon and a sweet treat, which we both greatly appreciated. Jennifer and Savannah both went out of their way to accommodate my family and me. The nurses in the OR are just a sweet bunch of ladies. They’re highly skilled and confident, which made me feel very comfortable. They are motherly, thoughtful and concerned, and they took great care of me. I am beyond satisfied with my surgery results, and how amazingly well the entire process went, from start to finish. I was able to make my initial consultation appointment much quicker than I expected, as well as my date of surgery. Dr. Halvorson and his team are nothing short of amazing and I would without a doubt recommend anyone to Halvorson Plastic Surgery.

We had to have some important medically needed facial surgery on our youngest son and our dermatologist recommended Dr. Halvorson. From beginning with scheduling and consultation to the surgery day and post surgery follow visit our the experience was outstanding. And the end results were far beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Dr Halvorson. You will not be disappointed.

After a bilateral mastectomy, and two sets of implants (the second of which resulted in one implant having to be removed due to infection on my radiated side, I was skeptical as to how good an aesthetic result I would achieve with a DIEP flap but felt it was the only option I had left to try. Luckily for me, Dr Halvorson had just moved to Asheville and as soon as I read his bio I knew I was going to be with an excellent surgeon. When I met him he did not disappoint. He was very realistic about what he thought my outcome would be and he (and his team) made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience. I have to say that although this was major surgery, it was nowhere near as bad as I was prepared for and my end result is absolutely astounding. Dr Halvorson has transformed my body. My breast reconstruction is better than I could ever have hoped for, even if I had not going through the failed reconstruction attempts prior to meeting him. He always took plenty of time during consultations and made sure all my questions were answered, he also made sure to listen to what I wanted and was very thorough in his follow up care and procedures. I cannot recommend Dr Halvorson and his expertise enough. He is a truly talented and skilled surgeon and Asheville is lucky to have him.

I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer at the age of 36 and other than surviving, finding the best plastic surgeon for my reconstruction was the next most important item on my list. I absolutely found this with Dr. Eric Halvorson. I had superb care from beginning to end. He was kind, compassionate and helped me every step of the way. I never felt rushed in his office and he personally answered every e-mail and call I made to him. He made me feel comfortable in his office and during each surgery I had. Dr. Halvorson always made time for me in my many follow-up visits. My DIEP flap surgery was complicated by tight radiated skin, but after everything was finished the outcome has been amazing. I feel like my old self again. He is caring and the whole process was so much easier to deal with because of his easy going nature. I cannot thank him enough for helping me during one of the hardest times in my life.

I was a little hesitant when I made the decision to do some elective surgery but even just walking into the waiting room I felt a comfortable vibe. I met Dr. Halvorson in a room and he was easy to talk to. My husband came with me and liked him also. Dr H. explained everything to me in terms that I understood and his nurse also was helpful. They answered every question I had and I didn't feel I was being pushed through the appointment. When the day of the surgery came, Dr H came to visit me before to make sure I was okay. After, he also checked on me and advised me what to do to care for my incision. I had no issues, the pain level was very low and I healed beautifully. I am thrilled with my decision and I feel I made the right choice with the right doctor. I also heard rave reviews from my other doctors and I trust them. If I choose or need any other surgeries I know I won't have any hesitation who to go to.

During my bout with breast cancer, I'd given up on the idea that I would ever regain a normal appearance. Dr Halvorson proved me wrong! I am thrilled with my post reconstruction results! For anyone facing a similar situation, I highly recommend him. He possesses exceptional skill in the operating room and has a personable demeanor during office visits. In my experience, he listened attentively, answered all of my questions, patiently explained options/procedures in depth, and never made me feel rushed at appointments. As a result, I had ample information which made it easy to choose the best option for me. Additionally, I knew exactly what to expect during each step of the reconstruction process. Based on my experience, I describe him as abundantly talented, committed to excellence, and cares about achieving the best possible result for his patients. Based on my outcome, I am extremely glad that I chose Dr. Halvorson, and I recommend him without hesitation.

Sandra Shahan

Having been diagnosed with an early stage breast cancer, I tried three lumpectomies hoping to avoid a mastectomy, which seemed such a radical step. But the pathology reports kept coming back with unfavorable results. I was told I was a good candidate for a mastectomy with a breast reconstruction at the same time and was referred to Dr Halvorson. I am so thankful for that referral! I had no idea where to go or what qualifications were important, but I found myself in excellent hands. After Dr Halvorson explained my options, I chose a tissue flap surgery rather than an implant and I am so happy and satisfied with the results. As the many other reviews are stating, Dr Halvorson is very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and skilled at what he does. The scar left from my lumpectomies was not smooth and would get very sore, but he corrected that, too, in the process of the reconstruction. I am so thankful that he recently moved to this area and was available when I had a need for his expertise. At one point, I called his nurse's cell # and left a message wondering if I had an infection starting a week after surgery and was surprised that Dr Halvorson himself returned my call within the hour. His nurse, Mary Lynn, was good to call other times to check on my progress and I really appreciated her kindness, too. So I couldn't have had a better experience or better results. I feel whole and normal again. Thank you Dr Halvorson for your top notch care!

Ed Carberry

Often when you discover you have a life threatening medical problem you haven't researched where you would turn for help and rely heavily on referrals from others. I was told about Dr Halvorson by another Doctor and it didn't cross my mind to maybe explore other plastic surgeons. I trusted the recommendation which involved one of the most important parts of my body - my face. Dr Halvorson did a beautiful surgery to repair my face and with warm genuine care. I am most grateful to have found a superb plastic surgeon in my time of need. Thank you Dr Halvorson and the beautiful ladies in the office.

I found myself at Dr Halvorson’s office the day after having a Mohs surgery that didn’t go as planned. My basal cell cancer on the tip of my nose was very invasive and resulted in having the whole tip of my nose removed. I didn’t know anything about the surgeries that were ahead of me or the plastic surgeon that would be doing this complicated 3 stage procedure. It was a challenging time mentally and physically. Looking back on the whole process now, I feel so blessed that I landed in the best care possible. Dr. Halvorson and all staff members especially his nurse, Mary Lynn Brown RN made me feel so relaxed and safe . I had exceptional care. Dr Halvorson is a very skilled plastic surgeon. I hope never to have to need his services for anything like what I just went through, however I am getting older and who knows, I just may use his talents to help turn back time at some point.

Kimilee Cable

Dr Halvorson and his staff are wonderful. Dr Halvorson is always willing to address any questions or concerns that I have. He took time to make sure that I understood all aspects of the procedure. The office staff is amazing as well. Everyone there is very friendly and have been very quick to respond to any phone calls or emails that I have had to make to the office.
