"I've been a patient of Dr Summer Blacks for about 4 years and I would never go anywhere else. I am ALWAYS ecstatic with her work and have had Botox and Restylane filler in my cheeks and lips. Dr Black is not only a total perfectionist but she becomes a friend you feel comfortable confiding in and sharing your life with. I would recommend Dr Black to my own mother....and in fact I did! Now we are both her patients who regularly visit her for all our anti-aging facial perfecting cosmetic work."

"From my very first consultation to my final follow-up, my experience with Dr. Summer and Elliot Black has been nothing short of amazing. Going into a mommy makeover is a big, emotional decision, but they made me feel completely comfortable, supported, and confident every step of the way.They are both incredibly kind and genuinely caring, which made such a difference during the entire process. No question ever felt too small—they were always available, responsive, and patient when it came to follow-ups and concerns. That level of attentiveness really gave me peace of mind.Most importantly, I am beyond happy with my results. I feel like myself again—just more confident. It’s clear they truly care about their patients, not just the outcome but the entire experience.I’m so grateful I chose them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a mommy makeover."

"Dr. Black did my ETT and BL w/o augmentation after 200+ weight loss and 4 pregnancies. She worked wonders on me and my healing process was flawless. She really cares and has a no-nonsense approach- no unnecessary/uncomfortable garments and realistic expectations with genuine concern for my health and well-being. She is THE BEST- in addition to being a complete ray of sunshine!"
