Testimonials


Testi "My experience with Zinsser Plastic Surgery was a delightful one. Too perfect to be true! Going through a procedure no matter how bad you want it is nerve wrecking. Dr. Zinsser performed butt augmentation on me and I love the results. Dr. Zinsser is first and most of all a professional who demonstrated his excellent skills and knowledge in the plastic surgery field. He demonstrated true concern for my well being and only suggested things that would be in my best interest even if it meant a profit decrease for him. He listened and explained everything in detail. He always made himself available for any concern or questions. He dedicated endless hours researching in order to provide the best quality implants that resulted in an excellent appearances and a very happy patient. My incision is close to not being noticeable because of his suturing skills. His staff is endearing. They go out of their way to make you feel like their #1 patient. They put me at ease and were always concerned about accommodating my needs. His office Manager, Deb Ely is an outstanding individual. She did everything in her power to ensure my privacy as a patient was respected. I will for life be in debt with Dr. Zinsser and his staff. Even if I moved across the country, I will make sure that Dr. Zinsser performs any future procedures on me! It truly brings tears to my eyes to have found his practice here in Richmond. Because of Dr. Zinsser I walk with my head higher these days.

Thank you Dr. Zinsser and Staff!"

The nurses and anesthesiologists in the surgery center were the best. Their professionalism and attention to my comfort were exceptional. The final results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Zinsser is a true artist!"

Testi "After suffering with back, neck and shoulder pain for more years than I can remember, I had the good fortune to find Dr. Zinsser. I knew that I needed a breast reduction and was very apprehensive about having the procedure. After my first consultation, I knew that I had a doctor that would care about me as an individual and not just another patient. He took the time to carefully explain everything and answer any questions that I had. In addition to the breast reduction, I also had the bags removed from my lower eyelids so that I would not look so tired.

There are just not enough words to express how pleased I am with the quality of Dr. Zinsser's work. I feel like a new person. My back, neck and shoulder pain immediately went away. My eyes look amazing. The best part is that everything he did looks so natural. I do not look like I had 'work done'. People just keep saying that I look great for my age. Being able to buy clothes, especially bathing suits, is now a pleasure, and not a heartache.

How do you say thank you to someone who gave you your life back? You let other people know how wonderful he is and hope that if they need a plastic surgeon, they will not hesitate to call him. It will be the best decision that they can make."

Testi "I just want to convey to you and your staff how very pleased I am with the results of my surgery. Before surgery I was really miserable not only with the size of my breast, but also the constant neck, back and shoulder pain. Since my procedure, I can now participate in different activities that before I felt very uncomfortable with in public. As an operating room nurse, I can perform better and personally feel better about myself. Many acquaintances and friends have commented on my appearance, which even convinced me more that I am so glad I had the procedure performed by you and the great staff at St. Mary's Ambulatory Surgery center.I even have had several people and their family members request your name, which I gladly gave them and sang your high praises. Again, thanks for all that you have done for me."

Testi "My name is J., I am 39 years old and a mother of 3. I had been thinking of getting a breast augmentation for a very long time, but never acted upon the thoughts. It took me three years to get up the courage of making a decision to proceed with my dream. I had visited quite a number of plastic surgeons, but I was never quite convinced that the doctor was right for me. I wanted to be as confident as possible with the surgeon who I was going to trust to perform breast surgery on me. All these feelings of nervousness and apprehension changed when I walked into Dr. Zinsser's practice.

Dr. Zinsser and his staff made me feel welcome, at home and more importantly at ease. They were patient with me and always there to answer any and all of my questions. I trust Dr. Zinsser and his staff as they are experienced, caring and they know what they are doing.

After all my years of research I wouldn't have picked any other doctor to perform my breast enhancement surgery. Dr. Zinsser is the BEST! As a matter of fact, I have now been considering a few other procedures to have Dr. Zinsser perform.

Thank you for everything. I thank you for making me look even more beautiful.I feel fabulous! Thank you Dr. Zinsser to you and your staff. You changed my life."

Testi "Dear Dr. Zinsser and staff (and everyone that assisted in my brachioplasty surgery):

I am so excited about the look of my new arms!! I researched getting brachioplasty surgery for over a year and had spoken to 2 other plastic surgeons. I am so thankful that I found you and your wonderful staff. I would like to say “thank you” Dr. Zinsser to you and to everyone that participated in every aspect of my surgery. I have never met a more caring and knowledgeable group of professionals. Elective surgery is a hard decision in itself, but I can see that I made the right decision 100% I am still healing from my surgery and could not be happier with the results and from what I am told, my arms will look even better after they have healed completely!! I will definitely be back to get the lipo that I am interested in. You all have touched my heart! Thanks again for being the wonderful group that you are!"
