Dayton area Plastic Surgeons

I am looking for recommendations for plastic surgeons near the Dayton area.
Does anyone know anything about Dr. Richard Simman ??

Thank you for any helpful information.

I have never heard of Dr. Simman, the best thing I can tell you is to be sure whatever dr you choose check to be sure they are Board Certified in Plastic Surgery!! I live in the Dayton and was shocked at how many doctors perform plastic surgery without being board certified. I ended up using a doctor in Columbus who I was much more comfortable with. Be sure and ask lots of questions and ask to see pics of his work and get phone numbers of patients willing to talk to you about their surgery with that doctor! Good luck to you!

Thanks Tammy. I live across the border in Indiana so Columbus is a bit far for me to look at this time. I am definitely doing my best to check up on any doctor that I am considering for surgery.

Dr Simman did my panniculectomy.  Although he does not do a lot of post-WLS procedures, he did a great job (the incision  looks really good).  My complaint with him was that he decied at the last minute (litera lly, as he was marking me in the surgical prep area) NOT to do the expected mons lift with it (even though I had offered to cover payment for that separately and had undergone the procedure to have an IVC filter put in so that he would be more confortable cutting through a large vein (long story).  Although I was not happy about it (and had to undergo a second sugery with another surgeon just a few weeks later in order to have it done), I would use him again.  He is not a warm and fuzzy kind of guy, but he is a good surgeon (and he's a wound specialist... handy in case something goes wrong).

Thank you for the information Lora. I am looking for more than just a panniculectomy and most likely will not have any help from insurance. He offers free consults so I may take an afternoon off of work and see what he has to offer.

I have to put a plug in here for one of my favorite plastic surgeons, Dr. Jen Butterfield in Cincy.  She is not only a fantastic surgeon, but she is a Lap Band patient also.

Dr. C,

What is your opinion of Dr. Kurtis Martin or Dr. Michael Columbus? I have seen both these gents, and will be seeing Dr. Butterfield for a 3rd opinion. (scardedy cat here)

Thanks for your time.

Dr. Martin is great as well, he operated on one of our staff and she has had a great result.  I just think it's cool that Dr. Butterfield has a band (she told me she doesn't mind that people know this).  I don't know Dr. Columbus at all.

Dr Martin did my brachioplasty, tummy tuck, and the mons lift that Dr Simman refused to do, and I would not hesitate to recommend him!
