Testimonials


Testi "Thank you! Again, again & again!"


Testi "Dear Dr. Guba,

I recently had abdominal plastic surgery performed by you Thank you for a success, I was high risk - thank you for researching and consulting other professional Doctors on my behalf, I was confident that all of the precautions were taken, which is why I had absolutely "no" complications before, during or after my recovery. Thank you for "all" of the follow-up appointments, they kept me very informed on my progress. The results of the surgery are great and I highly recommend your services. Surgery for me was a self-esteem builder and I Look Great!"


Testi "Dear Dr. Guba,

I just wanted to let you know how wonderful I feel about myself, and I love me now. I can't stop looking at myself, I know what you are probably thinking, she's a nut job. That may be true but a cute one. Ha ha. In just one week I feel my self-esteem went up about a zillion percent and it was you I have to thank. You are the greatest and I would not have taken back 1 percent of the pain it was all worth it. My words can not explain how thankful I am. Just wanted you to know I'm more than grateful to you for this. "See you soon" Thank you."


Testi "Thanks Dr. Guba,

for helping me get back to part of me that I've been reaching for for many years, my self-appreciation. It's not a vanity issue about what the world sees on the outside, it's a self-esteem issue about how I view myself on the inside. No one can understand this concept unless they've been through it themselves. Your fab sense of humor only adds to your talents as a "surgeon". I am "extremely" pleased and very grateful. Thank you!

Ps. I love my boobies!"


Testi "I feel Doctor Guba is a great Doctor. He really listens to what you want done and your concerns, if you are unhappy with the way you look he'll do his best to make you happy. I'm pleased with my surgery and would do more in the future."


Testi "Blessings!"


Testi "Thanks for your care of my eyes and hands, I was confident enough to get a wonderful new job in the Government - with a better Department - And I'm in line for a promotion here, at 57! May you all be overtaken with blessings this season."


Testi "Dear Dr. Guba,

I want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job when you performed my surgery and especially for extending professional courtesy to me. You come very highly recommended to me by my father-in-law and he was right! Thank you for "generosity" and for taking such good care of me. I cant believe I finally had this surgery. I feel so much better already. Hope you enjoy the wine."


Testi "Dr. Guba (and staff),

Thank you sooo muchf or my surgery... (Even tho my right eye still hurts a bit when I squint... and I still have the remnants of a black left eye - That makes me SURE you did all you could to this old face!!!) Anyway, I just love being able to stumble into older age with a bit more grace... (I was sooo spoiled even through my 30's and 40's -- no make-up needs!!) And now -- just smidgeon is enough, I think, thanks to some ore "neatness" to my face. (And with one more Spring visit, perhaps, on my hands, I should be content with those) (I sure hope you have insurance on that expensive machine!) Ahh -- the curse of the 60's "excesses"... Hope you each and all and your families have an especially blessed Thanksgiving and holiday season."


Testi "Hi! I think of you often and thank our Lord you were brought into my life. I've actually been able to wear short sleeves again - A blessing to be sure in this heat :) Without needing to hide my left hand. I'll be back in the fall for a hands tune-up. I have a super new job with the Department of Interior! Have a Blessed Summer!"


Testi "Dear Doctor,

Just a note to thank you for your wonderful artistry on my face! I feel great, look great, Everyone on your Staff was great!"


Testi "Adios Amigo - Thanks for making me "Floatable" again - c. 28! Gracias to your very nice staff also!"


Testi "Dr. Guba,

You're the Ben Carlson of plastic surgery; you have "Gifted Hands." In any case I don't know when I ever felt so happy... content? ...positive? Thank you for implementing the most dramatic change I ever hoped for (dangling preposition!)."


Testi "To my favorite Doctor and Staff! Have a very happy holiday!"
