This is by far the best plastic surgeon around! His wife is absolutely a solid force in the entire workings right along with the doc himself! They beat all odds! I would only ever recommend this team for any plastic surgery needs.
My daughter first needed an entire cranium reshape as she was born with it growing oddly.
Several years later I went back to have a past c-section fixed. Both times they treated my entire family as a whole unit in the decision and planning processes.
The hospitality and bed side manner is superb!

This MD did an eye lift for me about 4 years ago and here is my experience:
1. My surgery was on Thursday. The surface stitches were removed the next Monday, which was the most painful physical experience I've ever had! I was left w/1 eye wider open than the other. "Dr. Joe" offered to do the lesser-open eye again. I declined, because I had trusted him to do it properly the first time.
2. As a result of the surgery, I now have a scar above 1 eye which runs from the inside corner of my nose to the far outer corner of that eye. It is noticeable.
3. I also had my drooping ear lobes trimmed & asked

I got my surgery done on the 28th of December.. I loved the staff the doctor is an amazing person. I'm almost 30 years old I have never had surgery or stitches on my body before, so I was probably little too much when they took the stitches out and the drain tubes out yet they were very patient and caring they worked with me through my anxiety and fear. I'm so happy I chose dr. Joe to work on my body it is day 11 and my surgery already looks amazing. yes it still have sowllen and I can't wait for it to heals up. I recommend dr joe and his staff. you won't regret the experience with them.

Dr. Joe is a fantastic surgeon. He performed a breast augmentation on me in June 2017. I could not be happier with my results. My breasts look & feel natural and better than ever. My new body has given me confidence through the roof! Dr. Joe & his nurses make you feel like you're their #1 patient from your first consultation to your follow up appointments. Nurse Karen went above and beyond for me. I am very pleased with my experience and results with Dr. Joe & Plastic Surgery Innovations. I highly recommend going to Dr. Joe.
