Dr. Bass is an extremely skilled surgeon, with the bedside manner of a dear friend. Norma is an absolute God send. I had a very complicated reconstruction case after having a bi lateral mastectomy to my left side, and my right side had collapsed into my ribs. Dr. Bass and Miss Norma worked with me through my traumatic fears and helped me make the best choices for my body and my long term happiness.
On top of that, Miss Norma worked her butt off to make this all happen during a pandemic while a lot of places were closed. She communicated with me about everything and was there to soothe my fears stemmed from a previous failed operation. They gave me my confidence in my body, back. And became very dear friends to me in the process. I couldnt have asked for a better team to take care of me, and get me back to myself again.

I used Dr. Bass' in the past and was happy with his work. Recently I went in for a consultation for getting my eyes worked on and his associate, Norma told me for an addition fee it would be worthwhile to have my face done with the same laser treatment. Went through with the procedures, and being a four hour round trip, between office and my home, she had me sent photos to office daily.
I was satisfied with procedure. At last visit, she said I wasn't ready to apply makeup application that she wanted to tutor me with. Wanted me to return seven days later on another 4 hour road trip to train me in person. Called office next day to say was not going to come following Xmas week for tutorial. Her response was "to wash her hands of any problems that then may occur to my skin". There were no other options suggested.

Dr Bass and Norma are better than the dream team, they are the make-your-dreams-come-true-team. I was a very complicated procedure after having a bilateral mastectomy to my left side and my right side having dropped into my ribs. i thought i might never feel like a normal woman again. After the most generous and genuine care I could ever ask for and the highest skilled surgeon Ive ever met I finally feel whole again. Dr Bass gave me my confidence back in my body, gave me the ability to wear normal bras again and bathing suits and feminine clothing that I had been ashamed and embarrassed to wear for years. Norma was by my side through everything as if I were her own family. Dr. Bass hands fixed me and helped me achieve what I never thought was possible, feeling like myself again.
It brings tears of happiness to my eyes to think about all theyve done for me and how they were there for me. I cant say enough about the patience and compassion and kindness that was shown to me by Dr. Bass and Miss Norma. And Dr. Bass skills speak for themselves. If you go for a consultation, ask to see my pictures and you will see the miracles that Dr. Bass can perform. They are truly remarkable people!

I just wanted to share how thankful I am to this surgeon. My 8 year old daughter was in a playground accident and ended up with a 2 inches laceration down to the bone. Dr. Bass took an hour to carefully clean and sew up her forehead. Without this attention to detail she would have ended up with a horrific scar. He and his nurse, Norma were so kind and gentle with my daughter. If I could give 10 stars I would. We couldn't be happier with the service and skill that was delivered. Thank you!

I went here at the recommendation of a friend to get botox injections in my neck for sagging skin due to old age. The women who did the procedure said within 4-7 days the sagging skin would go away. She gave me a total of 4 injections in the neck and 2 in the jawline which cost me over $400. After 7 days I see no change whatsoever. Also, throughout the entire procedure all she tried to do was "sell me" on getting a face lift (which another surgeon had advised me against). A waste of time & money & I believe a con.

I had an extended tummy tuck, muscle repair, panniculectomy and lipo with Dr Bass back in December 2018. My results are outstanding. Dr. Bass has the best bed side manner and his nurse Norma is absolutely wonderful! I absolutely recommend Dr Bass for any plastic surgery you may need! He changed my life!

I have now had two surgeries from Dr. Bass and his work is amazing. I recently decided to have a face lift but worried about the outcome and not wanting to look like I had work done. I could not be happier with my face lift, it looks completely natural and is well healed. I get compliments constantly and highly recommend Dr. Bass to everyone. The office staff (Norma, Theresa) are so helpful and have gone above and beyond for me.

Dr. Bass has performed two breast augmentations for me the first one he didn't create enough of a pocket for me so it was slightly flat on one side. I had to pay to get the second one even though I feel as though it was his fault I paid anyway and had a second operation that I paid for. He had a great bedside manner and helped me whenever I needed his assistance. Norma was kind as well. I had these surgeries when he was located in paradise valley.

The external scars remain to be impressive, however the internal scars are horrendous. The second surgery that I had on 12/21/12 to remove the extra skin from my midsection has resulted in a severe MRSA infection. I have been hospitalized three times in less than five months, and will be on "maintenance antibiotics" for the rest of my life. Although my infectious disease doctors tell me that the treatment of lifelong antibiotics may be enough to kill me, as it could result in C defficile.
Even though I paid exactly what was quoted, I still get monthly bills for almost $4000 that Dr. Bass' anesthesiologist says I still owe. Norma says it's the anesthesiologists bookkeeping error, and that I only still owe $1200. I paid every CENT listed on the quotes and now they're barking for more (as is the surgery center!) So, now that I'm less than eight months from one surgery and six from another, I'm left with collection notices, even though I paid each quote IN FULL prior to the surgeries, and poor health from surgical infections.
I do not recommend that anyone get elective surgery. If you do, from a financial standpoint don't believe the quotes you've been given, from a health standpoint, what is more important - your appearance or battling infection for the rest of your life? Heartbroken and eternally ill.

I highly recommend Dr. Bass if you are looking for an extremely talented cosmetic plastic surgeon. He's a gifted doctor who follows through with what he says, and he does it in a kind, friendly manner. I had a three procedure face lift, and he took years off of my face, yet, I look completely natural. He's the real deal.
