"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."

"I highly recommend Dr Summer Black for your cosmetic surgery needs!! I recently had an explant with breast lift and mini-tummy tuck and could not be more pleased with my results!! Not only were my results wonderful and exceeded my expectations, but Dr Black was extremely caring, knowledgeable and patient for all of my office visits!! Not only was she supportive in office, but she called me a few times at home to check on me after my surgery! Once you have a consult with her, you won’t want to go anywhere else!"

"Dr. Black was absolutely amazing. Her staff is one of the kindest and most reassuring groups of people I have ever encountered. From the moment she walked into the room, I immediately felt at ease.She listened to my concerns, truly heard me, and took the time to understand what I was going through when no one else would. She answered every question thoroughly, never pushed anything unnecessary, and was always true to her word.What impressed me most was the level of care she provided from the very beginning. After my initial consultation, Dr. Black gave me her personal cell phone number so I could reach her directly with any questions or concerns. Following my explant and full capsulectomy, she personally checked in on me to make sure I was healing well and had everything I needed. That level of compassion, accessibility, and dedication is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of physician she is.Dr. Black exceeded my expectations at every appointment. Her compassion, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference throughout my journey. If I could give her 100 stars, I would.Thank you, Dr. Black, for giving me my life back. I am incredibly grateful for everything you have done for me, and I honestly don't know where I would be without you."
