Reviews of Dr. John A. Dean, MD (Plastic Surgery)

Sarah Brown

Dr. Dean was highly recommended to me when I was wanting a breast reduction six years ago. He was thorough, explained everything clearly, and his staff kept my mom at ease during my surgery. The results were better than I could have imagined, and I gained all the confidence I had lost over the years. His staff was supportive and absolutely wonderful every step of the way.

Dr. Dean has got to be one of the top plastic surgeons in the State. He repaired my daughter's botched septoplasty/rhinoplasty that had been done about a year before. Her nose was literally "falling" bc of the incompetence of her first surgeon. Dr. Dean not only repaired the mistake, but made it look better than it has before any of the surgeries! A few days after surgery, Dr. Dean said that my daughter was still swollen, but that would go down in time. I told him that the "swelling" looked 100% better than her nose had looked before his surgery! He's that good! Also, the staff and his nurse, Christy, are prompt and friendly. If you are ever considering rhinoplasty or septoplasty, check with Dr. Dean. He made a huge difference (a positive one) in my daughter's life.

I had several benign lumps in the tissue of both breasts removed by Dr. Dean and even I can't see the scars! Approximately two years after the surgery, I got pregnant and had a worry that the surgery may have affected my ability to breastfeed. I shouldn't have worried at all! Dr. Dean's skill and experience are second to none and my baby has been able to breastfeed without a problem. Dr. Dean and all of his staff are some of the best medical professionals I've had the pleasure of meeting. If you are considering any type of surgical procedure, I would highly recommend Dr. Dean.

I went to dr. Dean for a breast reduction surgery and I’m extremely happy with my results! I have had zero complications and everything is healing beautifully. Dr. Dean is a very knowledgeable surgeon and very open to answering any questions or concerns I may have. His nurse, Nicole, is also amazing. Anytime I needed to talk to her about my recovery, I would send her an email and she would respond in less than 24 hours. They are a wonderful team and make you feel very comfortable and confident in knowing you made the right choice. Also, the technique Dr. Dean used on me is not one I’ve seen before my surgery, but because of it, I’ve had less scarring due to no vertical incisions meeting the horizontal incision. I’m loving my new body so much and I thank Dr. Dean and his team greatly!

Danielle Wagley

Dr Dean is extremely compassionate and caring doctor. He is always patient and takes time to truly explain everything to his patients before and after surgery. The staff there are always willing to answer any questions or concerns that you might have even with multiple phone calls if needed. I would highly recommend Dr Dean for a truly experienced always professional plastic surgeon.

After having a horrific scar left from a previous abdominal surgery that left me in constant discomfort, Dr. Dean truly changed my life for the better. I only wish I had had the surgery sooner! Not only is Dr. Dean easy to talk to, but he explained the procedure to me in a way I could understand. I was very worried about pain and he had a great post-op pain plan that left me comfortable! Dr. Dean listened to and addressed any concerns I had. Being a nurse myself, I get the opportunity to associate with many doctors and nurses . Dr. Dean and his team provided me with quality care, kindness, professionalism and support. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Dr. Dean to any of my friends or family.

Dr Dean is a joy to deal with he is honest and compassionate, he will answer any questions you have and makes you feel at ease. The staff are kind and go out of their way to make you comfortable and are compassionate from the front desk to your financial questions nothing but excellence. I have had 5 reconstructive surgeries and Dr Dean always makes sure you have a good end result.

Kay French

Dr. Dean saved my daughter's botched septo/rhinoplasty from another surgeon (not within this group) the year before. He is kind, professional, and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. The staff is wonderful, and his nurse, Christy, is phenomenal.

Simone Gray

My entire experience has been life changing and amazing. Dr. Dean does amazing work and I couldn't be more happy with my results! The office staff have been wonderful. The office visits are always on time and everyone is so friendly! I highly recommend him!

Terri Williams

I had a breast reduction 2 weeks ago and i must say the staff was very friendly and professional. Dr Dean did an excellent job on me. I would recommend him to anyone.?

Angela Cheney

Not only is Dr Dean an amazing surgeon, he is kind to his patient. I really needed a tummy tuck after having a huge kid and losing weight. Not only are my result far beyond my expectations, his after care is amazing. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift, and lipo, his was a huge surgery. The day after my surgery I had one tiny bruise. There are too many things to list were he did a little extra. Not only does he care about the results, he cares about his patient. He staff is awesome, his attitude is great. I really can't put into words how happy I am with my result and my care. If you are looking, look no further, you won't be sorry.

Diamond Washington

I am in love with the results. The journey was well worth it. Dr. Dean was very professional and caring. My nurse Mrs. Nicole never missed a beat.. If I needed to call her 3 times a day she was there. Thank you guys so much.

I am so dis please with my surgery,Like, for example my back , I’ve expressed over and over how my back has started hurting....since surgery, never once in my life have I suffered with back pain....’next my body looks like BOTCH! I asked for a flank and bra fat to be lipped, well it’s all still there , I have two long cuts coming from both sides.. my armes are still the same, and still look the same. And I know my arms are still the same.. same issue with my thighs.!! I should have followed my first mind, instead of thinking I was get a deal, I wouldn’t Recommend any one to let him touch your body, it’s so bad , he had to agree with me and say he see what I’m talking about.. and give me another date to come in.. I had my surgery in July, and I still have to sleep sitting up! I’m telling anyone else ,please do not let Dr.Dean touch your body if it’s cosmetics ! I’m very displeased..... oh one last thing, he cut me low so the cut could be hidden, well I was thinking after 3 months, as I was told!! It would go down, Again, it looks like I’m a man down there, from so much skin not cut of and left there..then I’m just switched up under my breast, it looks like person just learning how to sow, stitched me up.. AGAIN I CAN ONLY WARN Y’ALL DO NOT LET DR.Dean Mess your body up!!

I had an arm lift. The only thing different from my before and after pics is the awful scar from the side of my breast, my arm pit to damn near my elbow. I went back after several follow ups and he admitted there was no change yet offered to redo the surgery if I paid the hospital fee. I told him and his nurse that I couldn’t afford that bc I had just paid a large sum of money to have the procedure done, as well as I had done nothing wrong. Because I couldn’t pay the hospital fee AGAIN, my arms were never corrected and I am more self conscious of my arms now than before the nightmare started. I was very disappointed that he didn’t stand by his work and correct my arm lift. I consider myself butchered and botched!

Lisa Soileau

I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in my right breast on October 19, 2019. After a week of uncertainty, anxiety, stress, and worry, I had a consultation with Dr. Dean. For the first time since my diagnosis, I felt at ease and calm. He explained everything to me in a professional way and with a great bed side manner. He performed a breast reduction in both breasts after my lumpectomy and did amazing work! I’ve had zero complications. I would recommend Dr. Dean over and over again!

Cynthia Coleman

OMG!!! I cannot believe these reviews. I am a patient of Dr. John Dean. I had a breast reduction 5 weeks ago and it is totally awesome! 2 years ago I also had a tummy tuck and my stomach is flat as a board to this day. I am a 50 year old wife, mother of 3, and grandmother. The staff there are so professional. They went above and beyond to make each surgery and recovery smooth. I Would Highly recommend Dr. Dean to perform any procedure you might be considering.???? Also my husband is Loving it too!!!

Christy Richards communication was horrible, I almost lost my job because of her neglecting way on sending my release form to my job. I called this woman on the daily basis once every morning and received a call back around 3 pm and in one instant, she claimed to sent me an email and never received it and I had to prove to my job what she was doing, making me drive an hour away from my city to get one simple paper that took 2 min to get instead of her emailing me or faxing it. I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Dean's work but just his assistant that gave me trouble. I'm a patient and she should've treat me as one.

UPDATE: Three years later . Tissue never returned . Awesome work . I would never go to anyone else. A friend informed me about this surgeon- I personally saw my friends chest before his gynecomastia surgery and after . Perfect results were performed. I had a consultation- I believe on a Tuesday and had the surgery on (3 days later )Friday afternoon. I could tell the results would be perfect from the first time I was able to shower after surgery. I am post op 4 weeks and my chest is perfect. I am very impressed, to say the least . Dr. John Dean is truly an amazing surgeon . I highly recommend him to any bodybuilders suffering from gynecomastia.

Marie LeBlanc

I wasn't going to rate, but nearly 10 years ago I had s nightmare experience with this doctor. My stitches came out. He ignored the problem , it got worse. He does not stand behind his work.

Joce P

In November 2020, I had a mini tummy tuck and 3 hernia repairs done by Dr. Dean. He was nothing less than AMAZING. His nurse was always comforting and my results are astonishing. I would recommend him to anyone! And will definitely be back to see him! Thank you Dr.Dean!!

Vanessa Aucoin

Dr. Dean has done a fantastic job! I have had great results! Would recommend him to anyone.

Ilisha Lucas

Dr. Dean is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and understanding. He will not lead you on with unrealistic goals. Results are amazing! I'm willing to share my amazing experience with anyone who's curious. Dr. Dean will be the perfect surgeon for your needs and/ or wants.

Alice Ashley

Dr. Dean has been nothing but compassionate and caring. My husband and I are both truly greatful for Dr. Dean. Previously I had a horrible tummy tuck and breast augmentation with another surgeon in town, that left disgusting scars. Dr. Dean has gone above and beyond to help correct this. He was there for anything I needed, he truly gives personal professionalism 100% of the time. I cannot talk anymore highly of his nurse also going out of her way for us. His charity work with Operation Smile can tell you his outstanding devotion and integrity he takes in his work.

KIN BOR

I would not recommend him AT ALL. Because of this man, my confidence took a "gut punch". My arms are horrible. I was supposed to have a lift and they are worst. I was in my late 20s hen it occurred, so you can imagine how I feel. Also, my breast augmentation incisions will forever be a reminder of the botched job. He is horrible and I feel incompetent. I finally have the courage to get these areas fixed.

Vickie Gautreau

Dr Dean and his staff are the most caring and patient people. Every visit I was made to feel welcome. I have been seeing Dr Dean since 1998 when I had breast cancer the first time. Now I have breast cancer again Dr Dean has been with me every step of the way. He talks to me . Explains every surgery patiently. I still have a ways to go but I know Dr Dean and his staff will continue to take care of me. Thank you Dr Dean for the care you and your staff have given me.
