Dr Decherd has done amazing work, I am recovering from my mommy make over right now and even though I am not fully recovered yet I love love love my results. I had to wait for my consult but once I did I had a wonderful experience with the nurses, front staff and Dr Dechard. The day of my surgery the nurses had the best bedside manner and help me feel at ease, they were very clear on after care instructions to my husband.

I could not recommend them enough! I did have other consults before choosing Dechard and none of them gave me a good fuzzy feeling. If I ever need anything else I'm coming only to Dr Dechard!

Loved, loved, loved the staff at Dr. Decherd! I shopped around with so many plastic surgeons for my first breast augmentation and so glad I chose him! He was great and made the whole process smooth and comfortable. Would definitely recommend him for any surgeries!

The staff is nice but do I get my questions answers? No! My issue is I got breast augmentation like 2 years ago and I'm dissatisfied with my results they are off. Even when I had small beast one boob had more fat tissue in it and well I had both breast get same size implants which probably isn't the way to go knowing my breast are not even to begin with.

I do modeling that deals with me being nude and one of my breast now goes into my armpit and bothers me so much plus I have to move it inwards like I use to before having boobs with those jellies in your bra. I would like to brag about my breast but I really don't want to because they are off and I'm not satisfied. I go back to ask why this happened well turns out some cases are like this but what is the real explanation?!?

I really didn't get one just oh to fix it they can just stitch it for 900 dollars. you kidding me! How about if I get rippling or my other breast moves too?!? I like a better explanation on why these things happen? It sucks to get your breast done and your not happy with the results. Plus even photographers tell me they look nice but one does look sad. I had high expectations for this doctor because some of my fellow friends have gone to him but I guess my results were not what I expected.

Dr. Decherd did my rhinoplasty over 13yrs ago, he did outstanding reconstruction surgery, I highly recommend, to this day I have no issues and it still looks perfect.

My consultation with Dr. Dechard is what sold me on choosing him. He was friendly and took time to make sure all my questions were answered. He did not make me feel like he was in a rush. His staff is the best -- they try to help you as quickly as they can. Dr. Dechard did a wonderful job on my tummy tuck w/ muscle repair, breast lift, and liposuction.

I had lost over 100 pounds and after 29 years of being obese, my body just could not recover. My loose skin is gone and I can finally buy pretty underwear and clothes! No more frustration in dressing rooms and no more hiding parts of my body that I couldn't stand. Dr. Dechard's work is wonderful! My scar is barely noticeable around my areolas, and I am only 2.5 months out from surgery (Nov. 26th, 2018).

My tummy tuck scar is so much better than I had imagined -- he really cares about how it will look. Compared to some scars I have seen online, Dr. Dechard's work is exquisite. My abdomen is flat and firm and my breasts are just so cute and perky. He even helps you choose the size of your 'new' nipples! And ladies, he makes certain that *everything* down below looks *GOOD*. it was literally breathtaking when I saw how *all* my parts looked wonderful.

I am almost fifty and my body looks better than it did when I was 18. After surgery, Dr. Dechard told me I would probably want to wear a bikini this summer and I scoffed. I've NEVER worn a bikini, one piece swimsuits only. Well.he might be right. I am seriously thinking of trying it! I will sing this man's praises to the end of time. If you want great work, an awesome support system, and a fantastic bod, choose Dr. Dechard. I feel like a million bucks!

All I have to say is this man changed my life. best best best. I am a registered nurse and completely satisfied with my results. I have referred several friends and clients and they have all been impressed with him. Heather, Monica, Kelsey and staff are amazing.

Just wanted to let people know how great Dr. Decherd and his staff are. Had a tummy tuck almost 3 years ago and the results (and scar) is in one word AMAZING! He has unbelievable bedside manner and his girls are out of this world sweet. I was worried about how the scar would look and it is basically non existent. Incredibly skilled Doctor. Just one other thing. The recovery advice and aftercare is top of the line. Cannot say enough good things about this practice.

In December of 2017 I had a tummy tuck and a my implants removed with a lift. Initially I was very concerned because my previous procedure was not what I expected. When I met with Dr. Decherd he was very attentive to my needs and concerns. I did my research on Dr. Decherd and all reviews were positive so I trusted him with this new procedure. When I saw the final results of his work I was ecstatic. I love my new breast and my new stomach. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a plastic surgeon to visit Dr. Decherd. Also, his staff is great. Especially Heather.

Dr. Decherd and his staff are amazing! It's been almost 10 years since my surgery and I'm very happy with the results. Beautiful office and great location. He is currently building an OR room downstairs from his office which will be great. I would highly recommend him.

Had a friend see Dr. Decherd for a breast job and had nothing but good things to say. I went in for a consultation which put a lot of fears I had at ease. I was not looking for a procedure that would leave me looking unnatural but still wanted to be bigger than I was. I trusted Dr. Decherd and his team with their advice considering my concerns. I couldn't be happier.

We did a silicone implant with an under breast insicion. I didn't experience any pain at anytime after my procedure. I was just a little sore which wasn't a big deal. I did however take awhile to adjust to doing chest exercises after my procedure. It took about 3 months until I could do push ups again. And it took a full year for my scar to completely disappear. I'm a nurse and wear scrubs at work, no one can ever tell I had a breast job.

I went from a A cup to DD. Which sounds crazy that I specified to not be that big, but I'm telling you on my small frame with the implants we chose it does not look like I have DD's and I get compliments all the time when I do wear tight clothing. It's been a great decision and confident booster.

This review is long overdue. I had a brachioplasty not too long ago and it turned out horrible. Both of my arms are significantly uneven; one is utterly larger than the other. I had to go in to have him fix a problem on one of my arms after the surgery. He was extremely rude and I felt belittled for being there. He made a comment about my weight and nearly brought me to tears in his office, however, that's another story.

His bedside manner and arrogance was morbid AFTER he conducted my surgery. My arms need to be redone, but I simply don't want to go under the knife again creating new scars as the ones I have are very large and noticeable, which was to be expected, but the scars on one of my arms are grossly large and hideous looking. I should have gone with my first instinct and not elected this doctor to have completed my surgery. Tough lesson learned for me. Best of luck for those of you having any type of cosmetic surgery.

What a fantastic experience! Dr. Decherd and his staff are amazing! I went on 8 consultations with surgeons trying to find the right one and one to didn't rush me out of my consultation. He is personable and did not rush my appointment time. He answered all my questions and explained the whole process. I had lost 100 pounds and went in for a abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to get the loose skin removed and tightened up. I'm 3 weeks post-op and LOVE my new tummy! The scars are low and done with care & skill. I highly recommend Dr. Decherd!

Got my breast augmentation done by Dr. dechered at noon today, I am so happy with them already! They are very swollen and I know they still have a lot more to adjust but Dr. Decherd did a great job and I love them!

I loved my experience with Dr. Decherd and his staff. After having lost over 50 lbs, I found myself still very frustrated with my body. After an initial consultation in July, I had a "mommy make over" with Dr. Decherd in early Nov. 2015 that included a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I am now 3 months out from surgery and adoring the results I am seeing.

As far as attention and caring, the whole office is among what I would call the best of the best. They are more than willing to visit with you on any concerns that you may have come up and will even gladly squeeze you in for a same day visit if it is not something they can trouble shoot over the phone. I am very grateful to the friend that recommended him to me and will be giving Dr. Decherd's number to anyone I meet looking to have work done.

I had a breast augmentation and a lift in June. I had met with a couple other doctors, and while all were great, Dr. Decherd and his staff went above and beyond to help me through the process. I always felt comfortable, had a great experience with the surgery, and even though I had minor issues after; I had a wonderful experience overall. Dr. Decherd should definitely be your first choice when looking for plastic surgeons.

Dr. Dercherd is the best! Went to a few other doctors for consultation and I got to say he was the only one who actually took his time to answer all my questions. I have already done two procedures with him and I have no complaints if I have anymore in the future he will always be the doctor to go to!

I knew Dr. Decherd was the surgeon for me as soon as I did a consultation with him. He actually took the time to show you possible results on the computer and spent a good hour listening to what I wanted to see in my rhinoplasty. I'm now 10 weeks post op and so satisfied with the results. If I ever get anymore work done, I'll be heading straight back to his office.

Except or the glaring scars, Dr. Decherd and his staff are the nicest most accommodating people around. I went for my surgery confident the outcome would be great. 2 years later after my hair grew out and I was able to have a small ponytail I noticed huge scars, and my saliva glands are drooping. I look worse than when I went in. Also I had a tummy tuck and he moved my belly button, again huge scar.

I will never show my tummy to any one. So embarrassing. Nice nice nice people but the results are any thing but nice. I have to chalk this up to a life lesson. I don't know how I would have known before. But I'm hoping if you are looking for a really good surgeon you will look for another one. Sorry Dr Decherd your really nice but now I'm restricted to what hair styles I can have and 1 piece swim suits. My saliva glands I can't hide.

I can't possibly say enough wonderful things about Dr. Decherd and his staff! From consult to post-op, it was a fantastic experience, not at all like a procedure. The staff is friendly, caring and genuine in their concern. The doc is just awesome and does beautiful work. I feel like a new person! I am definitely referring friends, family and strangers!
