Syracuse Plastic Surgery Skin & Wellness

After losing my mom to breast cancer and being at high risk for it myself, my doctors recommended I get a preventative double mastectomy with reconstruction. Between Dr. Kort and Dr. Ruter, I was very well taken care of! I asked a million questions, and Dr. Ruter and the beyond phenomenal and caring RN Josie Egerbrecht (cannot say enough about how amazing she is!) were so patient and helpful through all of it. They made me feel comfortable and made sure I understood everything all the way up to having the procedure, after the procedure, and since. I never felt rushed through any questions or pushed into any decision, and being a very private and modest person, I was constantly reassured by their absolute professionalism and manner of seeing me as a person - not a chart. The entire office was kind, positive, and just made for a very comfortable environment - everyone at the desk, Christine in scheduling and insurance, and two other nurses that I’m sad I didn’t catch their names were also amazing. I’m very grateful to all and highly recommend this team - especially for breast cancer prevention.

I just recently had a liposuction and a tummy tuck with Dr. DeRoberts. He is truly an artist in his field, with attention to detail and commitment to achieving natural-looking results evident in his work. He is incredibly skilled, and his bedside manner is top-notch. He took the time to address all my concerns, answered my questions, and ensured my comfort was his top priority. The entire team was exceptional. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, especially my nurse Maryann. She made me feel comfortable and at ease during the process. I highly recommend Dr. DeRoberts and his team of professionals.

I started my journey with a consultation in September of 2023. Met with Dr. DeRobert regarding a Tummy Tuck. He was very reassuring and professional. I made my decision to move forward with scheduling the procedure shortly after meeting. We scheduled the procedure for January 2024. Leading up to the appointment, the staff was informative, and things went smoothly. One minor hiccup with getting a prescription sent over, but that was taken care of swiftly. On the day of my appointment, I was very nervous. Anxiety around being poked with an IV needle due to previous issues, but the nurse who came in was very calming and did not proceed if she did not feel confident with getting it in the first time. Another nurse came in and talked me through it and got it in one try. It was also painless, which is unheard of. After the procedure, I woke up in recovery with my husband by my side, and he said the staff was very helpful. I was able to get ahold of the staff and Dr. DeRoberts for any questions. My follow-up appointments went well. They were very attentive and answered all questions during my visits. My healing took a bit longer due to the amount of skin and fat removed. After all my check-ups and healing, I was pleased with the results, but there were some changes myself and the doctor wanted. I scheduled my revision (only paid the facility fee), met with Dr. twice, and on the day of the revision to ensure my wishes were met. The procedure took about 30 mins, and the staff and doctor spoke with me the entire time, checking to ensure I felt no pain. Post-op instructions were very clear, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the final results. I feel confident no matter what I wear, and if I ever decide to do another surgery (not likely), I would absolutely choose Dr. DeRoberts and his team. I didn’t take many full-body pics due to an apron stomach, so the photo attached is the best one I have, but now I have no issue showing my stomach.
