"I am thrilled to leave a 5 star review for Dr. Edwards and everyone at Plastic Surgery Vegas. From the moment I walked into my first consultation, Kelly made me feel welcome and special. Dr. Edwards really takes the time to be educational and informational during the consultation, and his nurse Fernanda will become your best friend. I went to other practices and did not get the same vibe/energy, that I got with PSV. I knew immediately that I wanted them to take care of my augmentation. Dr. Edwards is not only warm and friendly, but he is also cautious and compassionate. I had several concerning things come up in my first mammo, and he made sure to help with follow ups and clearing all concerns before scheduling my surgery. Thankfully, everything was fine and I was able to go through with surgery, but I am so grateful for his patience and caution. You feel VERY taken care of by all his staff that you encounter. Sandra is also the best and helps to get everything situated for you. They will be forever on my Christmas cards list. THANK YOU"
