Jim Wethe was my student in my post graduate advanced aesthetic surgery fellowship. I could tell even at that time he was talented. I have trained dozens of young plastic surgeons and I found Dr Wethe's aesthetic sense of creating beauty in both body and facial surgery was one of the best. He has progressed to a present day leader in the field.

I was referred to Dr. Wethe by a dear friend, who I respect. I had my consultation with him and scheduled a procedure without even looking at before and after pictures of his work. I knew immediately that I was in professional, extremely capable and honest and gentle hands. I was beyond pleased, and have referred several friends to him. .. .who have all been equally as pleased with him and like him as a man and a true professional. I have gone back for a second procedure and would not consider going to anyone else for anything to do with my face. His office and staff are understated, professional

Dr. Wethe is beyond excellent. This doctor is the Marcus Welby of plastic surgery, a kind, caring, thoroughly professional surgeon who truly is the best at what he does. The office staff is fantastic. The whole practice is run with the highest regard for a patient's well being. He is always on time for every appointment, the nurses in the operating room love him, and he is the quintessential example of what a great doctor should be. I consulted with several slick, highly marketed hot shots before I picked this surgeon. He is simply the best and I am so grateful that I picked him.

Dr. Wethe has over 28 years of experience in plastic surgery. He has never advertised a day in his career and he is booked out three to four months for surgery. A doctor once said " Dr. Wethe is a compliment to the plastic surgery community". It's true! I am a nurse and any procedure that involves anesthesia makes me anxious. But, not with Dr. Wethe because he is cautious and careful. If you ask 10 nurses from the hospital who they would choose to have surgery with I guarantee 9 of them would say Dr. Wethe. Breast implants, breast reconstruction, face lift, neck lift, and tummy tucks and nose jobs

I LOVE this doctor, his staff and the fabulous results I have gotten! In the last five years or so, I have had implants, an eye lift and a mini facelift (all in different years!) and have been so pleased with all the procedures. He is the best-very kind and caring, and never made me feel rushed during my visits. I have NO scars, and my husband was truly amazed every time I had something done-he was afraid of how I would look, and he's delighted. You will love everything about this office (-:

I've had three proceedures done in Dr. Wethe's office-a mini face lift, with an eye lift at the same time, and he replaced my old breast implants. I am THRILLED with all of them! The mini especially, as no one knew I had had anything done until I told them. It looks so natural and makes me look quite a bit younger (I just turned sixty). He is a great doctor and a really nice person-he took the time to explain everything and I never feel rushed when I go to the office. The staff is awesome-so friendly and nice (-: I've also had Botox several times, and a DOT (?) laser peel on my upper lip. I'm going

I've been to many plastic surgeons for consultations and have never met one who is so normal, full of integrity, professionalism and character. He spent over an hour with me on my consultation (we're looking at 3 procedures). All the other docs I went to are in BH and their fancy offices and rates reflect that. He came highly referred to me from a nurse at Dr. Obagi skin clinic in BH. He is the doctor of my choice. I highly recommend him. BTW, his office is super clean and nice AND I really liked that they don't try to gloss you over and make you feel insignificant by showing how
