Dr. Celestin and her entire staff are AMAZING! There is such genuine warmth and friendly atmosphere in Dr. Celestin’s office. I was nervous and apprehensive about getting a breast augmentation and tummy tuck and Dr. Celestin is very knowledgeable and answered all questions, which gave me confidence. The office staff went above and beyond the call of duty to schedule my procedures and post op appointments. My incisions are healing well with minimal scaring and no complications. I am so glad I made the choice to go with Dr. Celestin as my surgeon. I encourage everyone to choose Dr. Celestin as your plastic surgeon, you won’t regret it! Top qualities: Excellent communication, professionalism, and care!
Dr. Celestin is an angel! I am 5wpo and I am already loving my results and I’m not even done healing yet. The confidence that comes along with this is such a blessing! My swelling is minimal and my scar is barely noticeable. I am very happy so far. I have had 2 follow up appointments and each time the results get better and better. Dr. Celestin is AWESOME!
Listen!! Dr. Celestin changed my life! After breastfeeding two children for 2 plus years each my breasts were awfully saggy and took a huge toll on my self esteem. I watched this doc and her practice and attended several events they held. One day I decided I was going to speak to her. Just casually at an event and get a feel for her. Best decision I made. I booked the consultation and she erased ALL my concerns and fears. I had my breast done and I couldn’t be happier! She didn’t get the best breast award for nothing! She is the BEST! Put your breast in good hands! And go to Dr Celestin! Period!
I don’t even know where to begin on my high recommendation for Dr. Celestin. Let me begin by mentioning that I’m in the health field so I did my due diligence on researching for my procedure. I was also given a referral from another nurse. Dr. Celestin explained more than even all the questions I had. She took a generous amount of time with my medical history which I found reassuring. I had a previous consult with another surgeon & IT WAS NOT at all near how thorough she was. My results are amazing. My recovery, healing, scarring are perfect! I had a question & she was available even after hours. Dr. Celestin is above all excellence levels as a physician (surgeon). Highly recommend & would give her more stars if possible.
I love Dr. Celestin. She's invested in your well being, satisfactory and the staff are very professional. I underwent a BBL, liposuction of stomach, back and waist. The results are great and she is so serious about your follow up visits and healing.
