I had my consultation with Dr. Durkin for a breast augmentation in April. This was something I had wanted for years. Over the years had various consultations but never took the leap. Dr. Durkin listened to me and immediately knew exactly what I was looking for, he was so personable, and we had some great laughs but most importantly made me feel comfortable. I scheduled my surgery and got the implants and I have never felt as confident as I feel now. The staff at the office made me feel comfortable after expressing how nervous I was, they made sure I was feeling comfortable after surgery, and most of all they were extremely caring. Words can’t explain how happy I am with my choice and my experience was a 10/10.
Choosing Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery has been one of the best decisions of my life. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Alan Durkin welcomed me with open arms, making me feel like family. He is exceptionally skilled, and I have quite literally trusted him with my life. I love coming here! The staff is always wonderful, and I would recommend getting any procedure done here. The environment is always warm, friendly, extra clean, and safe. The results of my procedures have far exceeded any expectations. From pre-surgery, their coordinator, Rosana, kept me upbeat with her knowledge, compassion and attention. Melissa and the nursing staff are exceptional, as is the anesthesiologist, Dave. Aftercare lymphatic massages with Jami have greatly accelerated and eased the healing process. I’ll be coming back for the rest of my life. While plastic surgery can sometimes be scary, this establishment ensured my safety and comfort from the very first visit.
From start to finish, this whole experience has been seamless, and very professional. Dr. Durkin and his whole staff has made this process as good, and comfortable as possible. I cannot recommend them enough. everyone was very friendly and personable and realistic. Dr. Durkin loves his job, and it completely shows through this bedside manner. I cannot be more grateful for this entire team.
This doctors office was incredibly helpful and kind. I was very nervous to come in to get my breast implants removed since people think that’s a cause of your symptoms. Once I met Dr. Durkin, he helped set my mind at ease and booked my appointment right away. After day 1 post op, I have already witnessed improvements with swelling in my hands and feet instantly. I am not sure if I would have made this decision as fast as I did if it was not for the nurturing and comfort the staff has given me. I am forever grateful for the experience Dr. Durkin has given me. I highly recommend Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery!
Oceans drive plastic surgery provided me excellent. The surgeon Dr Durkin is located in Vero Beach. I heard excellent reviews so I drove from Tampa, Fl for this surgery. I felt so safe. The entire Staff, David Melissa Courtney Angie Pauline and Dr Durkin were so kind caring and concerned. Throughout my entire experience. Starting with Rosana who provided me with all financial assistance. This entire organization is highly recommended from me. Thank you to a wonderful comfortable experience. God bless to Oceans Drive staff.
