Dr. Spring as a plastic surgeon. I am beyond happy with my results and so glad I took her professional advice. She is thorough, realistic, and leaned more on the natural side, which I appreciated.”

I had an extensive tummy tuck procedure completed at Mountain West Plastic Surgery by Dr Hromadka. The office staff and Doctors were all very professional and supportive throughout the entire process- from the consultation to the last post op appointment.

I live almost 4 hours away from the clinic and the office staff were very accommodating to me and allowed me to set up telephone appointments so that I didn't need to drive in for every appointment. Dr Hromadka and his medical staff were very responsive to any after hours concerns or questions I had following the surgery. I am so pleased with my results and would highly recommend Mountain West Plastic Surgery to anyone considering undergoing a tummy tuck. I encourage anyone reading this to schedule your consultation today.

Dr. Spring did such an amazing job removing my implants and doing a lift. I felt very comfortable having her do my surgery. I thought about going to a bigger city to have it done, but after my consultation with Dr. Spring I was confident that I was in good hands. I’m 7 weeks post-op and so pleased with the results. Thank you, Dr. Spring!
