Testimonials


Testi "I would just like to thank you again for spending so much time with me and for taking such good care of me. I am very happy with the results."


Testi "It has been one year since my operation. I wanted to thank you for everything you have done. This year was great with wearing any shirt I wanted and not feeling self-conscious on how I looked. I have received so many compliments and I owe it all to you! Thank you for making me feel so comfortable with everything and making my operation a success!"


Testi "I don't know where to begin in thanking you for way in which you've changed my life for the better. Never did I think I'd feel as confident and beautiful again. And oh I do!

Dr. Bottger, you are an amazing surgeon and artist! No wonder you come so highly recommended. Despite the healing pains, I would do it all over again.

To your staff, my gratitude for always being kind and patience with me when I called in (sometimes everyday). My heartfelt thanks to all of you."


Testi "'Thank you' seems inadequate to show how very much your talent and your special care have meant to me. But though the words are simple, hope you know the gratitude and the special warmth they represent. You're a fantastic doctor and I'm glad you were my doctor."


Testi "Thank you so much for fixing some minor issues last week. I love my waistline. You did an incredible job trimming me down even more. Not only are you great at your job, but you have asuch a pleasant personality. It makes the appointment/procedure that much more comfortable. You're the best!

PS. I love your staff. Please tell Sharon, Christa and Mary Jo I thank them."


Testi "Thank you for always being so pleasant and helpful. It is always a positive experience."


Testi "I believe that all make sense in life. There are thousands of plastic surgeons out there and I happened to choose you! Also, as you already know, I am working hard to make sure that I become a plastic surgeon, so you see, I think that this is just not a coincidence.

Dr. Bottger for many years, I have thought about "fixing" what made me uncomfortable about my body and now that I have the opportunity, I am more than grateful to grab it and actually stick to it.

Since I am happy but a bit nervous, I thought I should let you know that I am thankful. Thank you for your patience and kindness. Thank you for making me "look better." And please believe me...I do trust you! Please remember that in the operating room."


Testi "Words cannot adequately express the full range of emotions I have gone through during this experience. Excitement, indecision, elation and appreciation to name a few. For the first two weeks after my surgery I looked in the mirror constantly with awe at the transformation. I kept returning to the mirror to admire my new body. My stomach was actually sunken in! The mirror became a friend rather than a foe.

I have a renewed confidence that is spilling over into all areas of my life. I would like to thank you for not only being professional, but also for being gentle and friendly. Your down-to-earth disposition has made it very easy to talk to you. You have taken my abdomen back to how it looked 20 years ago. I cannot wait for all the swelling to subside and know everything will get even better with time."


Testi "I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how pleased I am with the fine job of surgery that you did on my face. I am especially pleased with my eyes and forehead. It is the first time in years that I feel free to go without bangs. I will be coming to Philadelphia in late June or July, and will make an appointment so that you can see the final results and take some after pictures."


Testi "Thank you again for taking the time last week to give me stitches. It was very courteous of you to meet my mom and I on your personal time. You did amazing work!"


Testi "I want to thank you sincerely for your wonderful skill in performing my brow lift last month. I also want to thank you for your masterful skill in performing my face lift five years ago.

You are a careful, thoughtful, meticulous, artistic, thoroughly skilled and enormously creative plastic surgeon.

I am soon going to be 57 years old. My face RIGHT NOW looks younger than it did 8 years ago. I am really really happy with the results of your skills and your phenomenally precise work as a plastic surgeon.

You are a superb plastic surgeon and I am happy and grateful to have you as my doctor."


Testi "Thank you for making the procedure that I've been worried and nervous about for years easy and painless - with good music too! Now, not only do I have the painful ugly bump gone - I actually feel better about myself and I can wear whatever I want! Thank you again."
