RenewalMD Physician Provider

Liposuction

Dr. Shanklin is very professional as well as his staff. This is my second surgery with him. I absolutely love his mannerisms and work. His post operative care is also amazing. He is the only PS I trust to operate on me. I did a tummy tuck, breast augmentation and lift, and liposuction on my arms in November on yesterday he did liposuction to my upper abdomen, flanks and thighs. He is also cautious on how much work can be done at one time. He genuinely cares for his patients. Overall I only trust Dr. Shanklin and has recommended several girlfriends to him so well.

Treatment / Procedure

Liposuction

I am highly satisfied with my experience because Dr. Shanklin and his staff made me feel very comfortable. He listened and provided feedback when I started to feel nervous about the surgery and the prevention of blood clots. Dr Shanklin and his staff treated me with dignity and respect and was very professional. I am very pleased with my results and looking forward to going back as well as recommended his services to others.

Liposuction

Friendly staff.

Eyelid Surgery

I was there to have some stitches removed from my noise and Dr. Shanklin and I briefly discussed the eye Lift Surgery. I met with his Scheduler. I will have to miss a day of work because the Dr. only preforms surgery on Tuesday and Thursday. I have the actual Pre-Op consultation on the 11th. So we are currently discussing a Pre-Pre-Op consultation!

Tummy Tuck

I was referred by a friend because of her positive experience. I have also had such a wonderful experience and excellent care through a difficult process. It was imperative to have a compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable doctor and staff to get me through my procedure. A tummy tuck is a very invasive procedure, but with the proper care you will be happy with your final result. The follow up has been the best part. I have never felt at any time that my doctor or his staff rushed me through an appointment. They have helped me recover through all the stages of this process and kept me informed.

Tummy Tuck

Dr. Shanklin is amazing at what he does. He explained every thing he was going to do before the surgery and what I should expect after the surgery. One other surgeon wouldn't preform my tummy tuck revision. Another surgeon I sought out had a surgery plan i didn't agree with. Dr. Shanklin had a great game plan to start off with and seemed very optimistic about the surgery.

Breast Augmentation

Making the appointment, the surgeon chose my location rather than having me drive 45 minutes. I didn't wait for more than 2 minutes to be seen star signing in, the staff was extra friendly and knowledgeable when I asked questions, the surgeon came in helped me choose a size to go with. When I mentioned I was aiming for a C cup he informed me that the size implants I chose would put me into a D cup but ensured me that it's ok because we went for what I liked when I looked at my frame with those implants. I was so impressed with the consult that I made the appointment then and there for my procedure. I didn't plan to have the procedure until about 6 months later than I actually did. I am very pleased with doctor Shanklin and his staff.

Liposuction

Dr. Shanklin and his team went above and beyond what I expected. His bedside manner is incrediable. They made sure I understood everything about the procedure. All questions were welcomed and there was no rush during the consultation. I will absolutely refer Dr. Shanklin and his team to my friends and family. I was 100% comfortable during the consultation and I'm excited about my up coming procedure.

Breast Augmentation

I was satisfied with my experience. I was not happy that I would have to have 2 separate surgeries due to down time. Two other surgeons are telling me I can have 1 surgery with all 3 procedures, and no drains.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Dr. Shanklin and his staff are wonderful. They are friendly, prompt, and professional.

Mommy Makeover

Face Lift

I liked everyone there. Before & after photos were great

Fat Transfer

I felt that Dr. Shanklin and the staff really were there to help and to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. I was asked what changes I would like to see, not just what Dr. S or other medical staff thought I should have. At all times I felt well-informed about what was happening, and my partner was given excellent instructions on how to take care of me afterward. The overnight stay in the surgical facility was something I originally didn't think I would need, but I greatly appreciated having someone to care for me overnight. Though I am young and very healthy, my oxygen levels were low post-surgery, and that was monitored regularly, along with use of an oxygen mask. I felt that I was also given excellent post-operative care in my follow-up appointments, and I have always felt the staff to be kind and non-judgemental.

Liposuction

De Shanklin was great! Happy w the results!

Tummy Tuck

This surgery has allowed me to be more physically active and allowed my workout results to show. I no longer have abdominal sweat or pain from the weight pulling. Now walking up stairs is a breeze. I feel that following my post-op instructions helped me with my recovery.

I drove four hours to visit DR. Shanklin and will continue to do so when ever needed.

Jessica and Julie were very knowledgeable and helpful. So was Dr Shanklin. They knew I had 2 staff infections; one of which was from a previous surgery. Julie took extra time & care with me in explaining the things I needed to do prior to surgery. She gave me the products I would need to use prior to surgery and assured me I was in safe & sterile hands! I felt very comfortable with Dr Shanklin's team. The other nurses and the Dr of anesthesia put me right at ease! Prior to surgery, Julie and Dr Shanklin took all the time I needed to discuss & answer my questions regarding the procedure and outcome. I would highly recommend them. Very caring and loving team.

Breast Augmentation

This was the only consultation with a surgeon regarding my interest, that actually involved the surgeon for the majority of the consultation. The fist surgeon I consulted spent about 3-5 min with me and was quick to say what he wanted to do without asking my feedback. The 3rd surgeon consult didn't involve the surgeon at all. It was an easy decision to go with Dr. Shanklin based on his involvement in my consultation and genuine interest in my goals.

The entire staff made me feel very confident, secure, gave me a full understanding of everything, friendly, welcoming, insightful & very helpful!!! Clean, polite, friendly but in a professional manner.

Tummy Tuck

Dr Shanklin was very easy to talk to. He is approachable and friendly. He answered all my questions and told me that there was no need to worry. His nurse is great. Very fun and kept me comfortable throughout the overnight stay. The surgeon and the nurse remember things about you and it made the doctor patient relationship more personable. I would definitely use the service again.

Breast Augmentation

This was a big decision and part of making the final decision to go through with breast augmentation is knowing that this was the right choice for me. I received a lot of support and good advice. Choosing an appropriate size was very important too and the staff was very good at helping me make the right choice. The follow up after surgery was very nice. Dr. Shanklin's staff showed that they really cared about how I was recovering and made sure I had everything I needed.

Neck Lift

I think I look great!

Breast Augmentation

They were all very nice and treated me with respect. Jessica & Julie Ann were especially nice to me and they were funny. I love humor --it is what gets me through things. They laughed with me about everything. For example, the fat transfer to my butt-- well at first my butt was huge & they kept reassuring me that it would go down. I called them many times and they were always respectful & nice & calmed me down and the butt did go down in size and I love it now. Also, Dr Shanklin is very professional and the man knows what he is doing. My breast were so out of shape from a surgery that I had to have when I was 20yrs old & he made them beautiful! Plus he has a great sense of humor. The office always returned my phone calls and were always very helpful with whatever I needed. I had a previous surgery & ended up with a very bad staff infection so Julie Ann made sure they took extra precautions with me. It was nice to know I was in good hands and they didn't take my past infection lightly...they handled it with love & care.

Tummy Tuck

The overall facility was very clean, the people friendly, the surgen was very knowledge able and approachable.

Liposuction

Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. From the front desk to the surgery I felt very comfortable and well taken care of. They all make you feel like you are the only patient in the facility. They staff excellent nurses and Dr. Shanklin is so easy to talk to and I NEVER felt rushed. He did a great job on my lipo and took more time than he originally thought it would take- at the end of the day. He is a perfectionist. I was never charged anything extra. I would definitely choose him again and will tell my friends about him.

Tummy Tuck

My patient coordinator was Jessica and my nurse was Julie, and the doctor was Dr. Shanklin, and they were all truly amazing. My entire experience was phenomenal, and I am extemely pleased with my results. They are not pushy and do exactly what you want to have done. I have already recommended them to friends and some have even gotten surgery there as well! Definitely a top notch crew!

Fat Transfer

The staff was helpful and friendly. The consult was free so I had nothing to loose. The surgeon seemed extremely knowledgeable and the reviews were all positive. The surgeon seemed concerned about doing a great job and spent probably 30 mins answering questions. I never felt rushed. If he's not rushing the consult I feel like he won't rush in the surgery :)

Great professional staff that was very caring.

Tummy Tuck

Every one was so helpful and full of knowledge

Breast Augmentation

The entire staff was friendly and made sure I was comfortable

Liposuction

The attention to detail about my desire was not met. It seem more like I was just one patient more instead of a quality customer treatment. Not much or in detailed was explained to me what to expect after surgery or what to do to recovery appropiately like the massages that I apparently needed to perform myself which I was never told so. He just looked at me and seemed I knew what to do during the recovery phase.

Fat Transfer

Dr. Shanklin and his staff made me feel very comfortable. They answered all my questions before and after surgery and shared personal experiences with me. It was good to talk to them as other surgery patients and not just as staff members and they had some helpful tips too! I am happy with my results and I am actually looking forward to bathing suit season for a change!

Fat Transfer

The nurse and Dr. were very courteous and made me feel very comfortable. They both answered any questions that I had. The Dr. thoroughly explained to me the steps in the procedure. I just love how the Dr. and his staff interacted with me and always willing to answer any questions that I have even after I've had my consultation.

Body Lift

From the first phone call I heard the professionalism and concern for me in what I was looking for as I gave a brief history of prior procedures from another surgeon. I am a weight loss patient who needs someone who understands the requirements needed to get my desired form. I appreciated the free consultation as this type of surgery is definitely a investment as insurance doesn't cover the cost. Iv'e seen Dr. Shanklin's work on my OBGYN Dr. and on a friend, I am very impressed with the pencil line scaring, hardly visible. I also appreciate Jessica's sharing her own experiences with me. I fully intend to share my experiences with others and refer them to Dr. Shanklin. I am anxiously waiting for my surgery. Thank You!

Breast Lift

The staff makes you feel very comfortable. Julie was always available to answer any questions. Dr. Shanklin listened to what I wanted in regards to the size I wanted to be and there was no disagreement when I made the request. The day of the surgery I felt like everyone cared about me and my procedure. I thought the surgery suit was very clean and comfortable and the staff did everything to make you feel at ease prior to and after surgery.

Breast Augmentation

The physician, his team and the entire staff are wonderful. His coordinator and nurses answered all of my questions and were very knowledgeable about the procedure and the physician. I will definitely return to Dr. Shanklin for any future procedures.

I think Julie was GREAT and explained everything in detail. Doctor shanklin was outstanding and knew what I wanted done. Very satisfied!

Breast Augmentation

I found the use of the 3-D imaging machine very helpful. It gave me measurements and proportions and showed me exactly what my body would look like from every angle after have a breast augmentation! I met with the surgeon and staff and they were just as excited as I was during the planning process and I never felt rushed as I had plenty of time with the surgeon and he answered all of my questions and explained everything to me in a way that was very easy for me to understand. My experience the day of my surgery was stellar. I never felt uncomfortable or uneasy about anything. I was very informed throughout the entire process so I knew exactly what to expect and my recovery time was super quick. I couldn't be happier with my results! My self esteem is lifted and I have more confidence now than ever before. Everything appears to be so natural and natural to the touch. That's the work of Dr Shanklin! I recommend him to anyone that is interested in cosmetic surgery!! It was a pleasure working with him and his staff!

The staff is all great, they go out of their way to answer questions and make you feel welcome and respected. The doctor is professional, gave me all the information I needed to decide if I wanted to have this procedure done, and has been remarkable during my post-op period. He tells me what to expect as far as recovery, how he feels I am progressing, and important information. He never has seemed rushed, makes eye contact with me, speaks with my husband to keep him updated as well. A truly professional and friendly office; my experience has been nothing but positive from the first phone call to schedule my consult to my appointment yesterday.

The nurse did a great job! The lady that talked to us after and explained all the procedure and the prices did good too. The surgeon answered all my questions. He was very honest about what I needed to do before we could do the procedure. Even though it was a little disappointing its the reason why I went and I will come back when I finish what he said. Im thankful for his wisdom and knowledge and honesty. I do believe it is for my benefit. For a person thats uncomfortable with that kind of stuff the staff did a good job.

I had an awesome experience overall. From the consultation to all of my follow up appointments, I've had nothing but good experiences. Dr. Shanklin and his nurses are very friendly and have made me feel very comfortable throughout. I am extremely thrilled with my results and would definitely return in the future for other procedures. I will also recommend him to anyone that's looking to have plastic surgery in the future.

Breast Augmentation

This was the third surgeon that I had a consult with (the previous 2 made me feel uncomfortable about the speediness of my consults and lack of seeming to want to work with me in achieving what I wanted). Dr. Shanklin and his staff were a breath of fresh air! The office is amazing and the staff are very friendly. I also really liked the fact that my surgery was done on-site and I wasn't exposed to troubles that having surgery in a hospital can bring. Dr. Shanklin was able to give me exactly what I wanted and his staff were excellent in explaining what I should expect and how things were to go. Also, they are very easy to contact and welcome to any questions. Not to mention....the 3D imaging device that he has to determine what I wanted in my post-op was extremely helpful! I highly recommend using him, and am very happy with my results.

The price of the procedure was ok its the facility fee that I feel is too much. My procedure and fee was the same price...that ridiculous. And the wait was a little too long. I waited like 30 mins.

I felt like family, very comfortable. The doctor was warm and infomative and made me feel comfortable. The emails and phone consults were friendly...in a way a close friend or relative would talk to me. Instead of feeling like a dollar sign I felt like a person who was seeing a doctor who's staff also viewed me as a person. I enjoyed the consult and am just waiting on a surgery schedule for my spouse before I can schedule my surgery.

Breast Augmentation

Dr. Shanklin and his staff took very good care of me before, during and after my proceedure. My path report came back with problems and he explained to me the steps, made my appointments with the oncologist and called me at home to check on me. He and his staff have been very comforting and professional.

After my consultation I felt completely at ease and ready for surgery. Everyone was warm, welcoming and helpful in every way.

Dr. Joel Shanklin truly has a gift and understands what a patient wants and needs. He has compassion in what he does. He is the best Plastic Surgeon in the Southeast. He listens whole heartedly to his patients and over exceeds in the outcome they expect. I was referred by many woman, and I in turn have referred many women to him. I consider him not only my Plastic Surgeon, but my friend...He truly cares about his work!
