Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery/Dr Steven Ringler

My expectation of Dr. Ringler was to examine me as a candidate for a breast lift. I expected him to be a kind and attentive doctor, as well as being wonderfully skilled. I based these expectations on the many reviews I read and before and after pictures.
My husband accompanied me to my consultation, which never actually took place and they did voluntarily wave the fee. Dr. Ringler spoke with me for less than 5 minutes and immediately told me I was not a candidate for any body sculpting surgery because I am not within 20% of my «ideal weight» He informed me that he could reconsider after I met this requirement «if it was even possible» He stated that the reasoning was because of high risk with anesthesia, something I’ve done during 5 different surgeries, all without complications. He also told me it was a «different kind of anesthesia» which raised questions about honestly as I’ve had multiple types of procedures and been put totally under as well as a general anesthesia in the past, at my current weight.
I am overweight, at 5’6 245lb. No denying that. I’m not upset because I’m fat and a doctor told me no. I’m upset because he was a jerk and he made me feel bad. He never once looked at my husband or shook his hand. He barely looked at me. He showed no interest in my goals and didn’t want to examine me. I had also scheduled to get lip filler that day and he showed no interest whatsoever in administering that. Terrible experience and I would not recommend him to anyone. He may be skilled but he’s a very rude man. The staff were all very nice though. If weight was an automatic disqualification this could have been relayed over the phone. I was asked plenty of other questions. Then I wouldn’t have wasted my time.

I am absolutely pleased with the results I received from Dr. Ringler. He’s the most straight forward honest doctor you’ll ever meet. I had my breast augmentation done about 2 years ago and I am still very much in love with the results. It was a very good experience as far as the friendliness of his staff and the hospital staff. His prices are very reasonable and comparable in my opinion. An overall GREAT experience.

Dr Ringler is amazing! His work is exceptional! He is a very kind man, easy to talk to, and provides his honest professional opinion.
Dr. Ringler’s staff is also phenomenal. They are all super friendly and seem to really enjoy their work. They always smile and are so warm and welcoming. They always offer coffee or water. Frequently Dr. Ringler’s wife sends in homemade cookies for everyone.
The new office space is absolutely stunning. Beautiful décor and in a nice, easily accessible location.
I’ve had two surgeries (each with two procedures) done by Dr. Ringler and am fully satisfied with my results. I will, undoubtedly,
return to him when I’m ready for my next procedures.

Dr. Ringler is the consummate professional. As a plastic surgeon, his attention to detail is unmatched and you feel that the moment you enter his office. Andrea and the staff are incredibly helpful and will answer all of your questions. I have known them since 2010 and strongly recommend them.

If you are looking for a plastic surgeon who is caring, honest, ethical, artistic and incredibly talented, Dr. Ringler is your doctor. He is one of the only surgeons in town who still does his own injections so you don’t look overdone, just more like you used to look. I had struggled my whole life with my thighs and he performed water assisted liposuction and I no longer have to wrap a towel around my waist before I get up from my lawn chair at the pool. At the same time he did my breast augmentation, something I thought I’d never have done but after 2 kids they just weren’t the same. I didn’t want more than I had originally, I just wanted them more like they were! They look natural and the care I received while undergoing these treatments was outstanding!
