Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic

I can't express just how thankful I am to Dr. Alfredo Paredes and the incredible staff at Tallahassee Plastic Surgery. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on December 1st, 2021. I was 33 years old and terrified of what was to come next. I needed a double mastectomy, and Dr. Paredes was HIGHLY recommended. Right from the moment I walked through their doors, I felt like I was being embraced by a team that genuinely cares, and their level of professionalism is beyond compare.

In the midst of my cancer journey, I met many doctors, but Dr. Paredes truly stood out. He took the time to sit down with me, patiently explaining every single detail of my upcoming double mastectomy. He went above and beyond, answering all of our questions and making sure we were at ease. I'll always remember leaving that day with a newfound sense of calm, ready to face what lay ahead.

Dr. Paredes, along with his incredible Physician Assistant, Lauren, and the entire squad of caring nurses, transformed what could have been an incredibly scary time into something that felt manageable and even comfortable. It felt like they were right there beside me, guiding me through a challenging year, all while delivering top-notch medical care. Each surgery was met with their infectious positivity, and they took the time to walk me through everything and make sure I was okay.

And let's talk about the results – they're nothing short of mind-blowing. Dr. Paredes is an absolute perfectionist, pouring his heart and soul into delivering excellence. You can truly see his passion for his work and his dedication to his patients in every interaction. The outcome speaks volumes about his incredible skill.

Facing breast cancer treatments had me wondering if I'd ever feel like myself again. Today, I can confidently say that my breasts look even better than they did before my double mastectomy – and that's all thanks to Dr. Paredes' exceptional artistry. It's not often you come out of such an experience looking and feeling better, but those who do owe their transformation to Dr. Paredes.

I've placed my complete trust in Dr. Paredes, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as my doctor. My gratitude extends to his entire team, who have been an absolute blessing on this journey. I couldn't imagine putting my care in anyone else's hands. Dr. Paredes and his team are simply the best, and I'll be forever grateful for their exceptional care.

If you're new to these kinds of places or procedures, read my review. If you're not new to them, read it anyway. It's a good read.

I'm a local professional - an attorney.

I had diagnosed myself (because I can) some time ago with having Bilateral Temporalis Muscle Hypertrophy - a condition related to folks who have their jaw muscles (mandibular etc) hypertrophied (too large in size). My condition produces pressure, pressure headaches, etc, and the condition doesn't present the most aesthetic profile, if you know what I mean - your head will look like a lopsided eggshell. In my case, it was more like a lopsided bowling ball.

I'm funny about various medical places and there's always a concern that maybe a place you go doesn't really know what they're doing. That maybe they're just in it for the money and you'll end up worse off than you started. Concerns like that. So I put it off for sometime.

Then finally decided I needed to take some type of action and decided to got to this TPSC. No prior experience with them or any type of medical facility like this.

I'm telling you, these folks are really nice and professional. Made me feel comfortable. Discreet. Very nice facility too when first arrived. Easy check in. Didn't have to wait long. Efficient. Professional people who truly want to help.

Had/Have Megan as the primary medical professional handling me. Megan is the bomb Dot com! Very intelligent and knowledgeable; loves her work; loves helping people; very straightforward and direct. You'll know where you stand with her. She's a quarterback, you know. Megan even patiently listened to me elaborate and pontificate on my self-diagnosis during the initial consult (which, I must say, turned out to be correct).

Any rate, I was very hesitant and unsure about it all, and so Megan was wise to provide me great information and to not try to pressure me at all to get any procedure - actually recommending that I think about it and come back for a future consult again if I wanted to.

I decided to immediately go forward with the recommended procedure, and they were ready to efficiently make it happen.

Turned out to go beyond my expectations. I noticed within 2 - 3 weeks about 50% reduction in condition. Very happy. Lost headaches and pressure sensation. Sleep better. And, I know it may be hard to believe for some of you, but I even Look Better. I gave them permission to post my resulting pics on their website so if they eventually do take a look and you'll see how with each transition I actually get better and better looking (I didn't think it was possible! - how can you improve a Michelangelo? , tell me.).

Anyway,

I definitely recommend them. Even if you're unsure you can just go in and talk with them and get some good info on whatever your condition or concern might be. Nothing to lose really. Small initial consult cost and you don't have to do anything if you don't want.

Good people. Local place. Highly recommend.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Dr Rawlings is fantastic! He is very thorough and patient and makes absolute certain you are satisfied with your results. Wonderful bedside manner as well.
