Seriously though, any type of surgery is so scary and they make the experience so comfortable. I felt like he listened to what I wanted and was honest with what was going to be realistic with my body type.

“I have wanted this surgery for more than 20 years, and with the help of the office manager, Julie Garcia, holding my hand along the way and reassuring me at every turn, I scheduled the pre-op appointment and met with Dr. Dauwe. From his incredible bedside manner, to making me feel seen and heard about my choice in sizing, and looking at his previous patients with their amazing results, I knew I found the right doctor for me. I'm forever grateful for your team and the confidence you’ve restored in me.”
