Meet Kristin: A Real Patient Testimonial
A critical part of a patient’s research when choosing the best plastic surgeon for her should include reading reviews. Make sure to search out a patient testimonial or two (or ten!) as well. When you read the reviews, do they truly paint a picture of the experience from start to finish at a practice? How does the doctor and her staff treat their patients (both personally and medically)? What is the care and communication like with the office staff? Is the facility technologically advanced and up-to-date? Does the practice offer the services you seek, and do they provide the highest standard of care? The best way to figure this out is research. We are excited to share this real patient testimonial video (and text) below.
Listen as working mom, Kristin, talks about her cosmetic journey. Learn why patients like Kristin recommend board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shruti Tannan, for any plastic or cosmetic surgery procedure.
My name is Kristin. I’m 40. I work in real estate and I am a mom to two biological children. I also have three bonus babies. I knew after having children that my body just did not look the way that it did before. I had worked out, I’ve always eaten right and taken really good care of myself, and nothing that I did ever really got rid of my stomach. Which was something that I was just very just very self-conscious about.
Testimonial Tip: Research Board Certified Plastic Surgeons
I made the decision over a year ago to take that leap and put myself first, and really start researching. After months and months of research, I found Doctor Tannan. I was so impressed with the communication from start to finish. I reached out to several doctors and Dr. Tannan’s staff was the first one to respond. Which I was very shocked about because you just don’t always get that when you’re dealing with doctors’ offices.
Something else that really just drew me to [the practice] was the all-female staff. Who knows a woman better than other women? Just from any question I had, any interaction, I never was made to feel like I was just a patient.
Tannan Patient Testimonial: A Personable Female Surgeon
On my very first my consultation with Dr. Tannan, my husband obviously came with me. I was really nervous about something I knew I really wanted to do, but I was just so nervous. From the very beginning (from check-in to going back to meet Dr. Tannan), I said she’s somebody that I could hang out with on the weekend. She’s not your typical doctor which makes you feel so much more comfortable about, you know, having to get nude in front of somebody that you just met for the first time and talking about stuff it makes you just very self-conscious. From beginning to end, never once did she make it uncomfortable. It was the most comfortable process from beginning to end. Even my husband was just very amazed. We looked at each other and said, “she’s somebody I could have a beer with when we leave here,” and that has been the whole entire process for the entire year from start to finish.
Patient Talk: Excellent Communication from Staff
Any question that I had it was always answered immediately. The staff never made me feel like it was a stupid question. Everything was taken with just the utmost concern and care throughout the whole year that I was with Dr. Tannan.
I’m an anxious person I think in general, so you know the time leading up to pre-op and stuff really kind of gets your nerves going. Just because you know it’s coming. All the directions that are given to you, not only when you come for your pre-op, but also the emails, text messages, and reminders make sure that you know exactly what you’re supposed to do. You know where you’re supposed to be. It really made it to where I wasn’t so anxious.
Real Talk: Moms Need to Take Care of Themselves
If you’re a mom, or not mom, and you have the stomach that you can’t get rid of (you’ve worked out, you’ve eaten right) — Do it because you want your outside to match what’s on the inside. It has completely changed my life. Moms have to take care of themselves. They really do. We always put ourselves on the back burner. Just do it. You will not regret coming and using Dr. Tannan, you just won’t.
