41 year old mom of 2 kids with prior and recent significant weight loss. I originally saw Dr. Carlin roughly 10 years ago after losing 100 pounds, but he suggested I wait until after I am done having kids. Fast forward and I am now 3 days post Tummy tuck. I could not be happier with my results so far. Even with the expected swelling, my tummy looks so much better. The staff at his office has been exceptional.

Always very friendly and helpful. The experience at the outpatient surgery center was phenomenal as well. Could not ask for a better experience all around. Thank you Dr Carlin and staff for everything!

I was so nervous walking in not knowing what to expect. Dr. Carlin is like being with a dear friend. He is kind, funny and most importantly professional. His office is beautiful, his staff is outstanding and you immediately feel that they care for you as the patient. I am looking forward to my procedure, the day can't come fast enough! I have yet to stop smiling since I left :

Dr Carlin is an absolutely wonderful surgeon. From my initial consult, he was very honest with me, he listened to what I wanted, and was very polite and understanding. He removed saline breast implants I had prior and replaced them with silicone and I am so in love! I was so worried my scars would be worse, and he actually took the time to fix my previous scars and made them less noticeable. I am only 4 weeks post op and they already look absolutely incredible.

I am so beyond happy with how everything went, the surgery, the staff, the aftercare, the follow up appointment. I am going back in 2 weeks for another follow up and to talk to him about doing some more work. I recommend him to EVERYONE looking to get any cosmetic surgery.

I have had an amazing experience with Dr. Carlin and his staff at his office. My surgery went well and the result is beyond what I expected. He was available to me, even on weekends, to answer any questions or concerns that I had.

Excellent doctor & staff. I've used him twice for a breast lift & bracheoplasty arm over the last 2 years. Very little pain, virtually no scarring & Dr. Carlin was not only pleasant & caring but called me back in minutes over a holiday when I had a concern. He's always helpful, pleasant, funny & definitely great at what he does. No hint of infection, little swelling or bruising & absolutely clean everywhere.

Excellent results, arms look great & breasts look like they did 30 years ago! Caring & consistent office staff always willing to answer questions patiently, feels like they care & want to help. Definitely would not go anywhere else!
