Thomas P. Sterry, MD

I am a mother of four who worked as a pediatric physical therapist throughout all of my pregnancies. This took a physical toll on my body, and I developed a SEVERE diastasis recti and hernia. As someone who is well versed in the musculoskeletal system, I can assure you there was no amount of exercise/conditioning that would have prevented or remedied this situation. I feel that it is extremely important for mothers to be aware that, in SEVERE situations, there is no amount of exercise that can bring back the lost function of the muscles involved. There is no shame in not being able to fix this on your own because in some situations it is just not possible. I interviewed many surgeons before deciding on Dr. Sterry. I chose him for many reasons. The most important reason was his understanding of my struggle. I was in physical pain and had limited core strength. I could not keep up with the physical demands of working and being an active mother. The cosmetic aspect of the surgery was not a priority for me. I just wanted my life back. Dr. Sterry understood that, and he was extremely compassionate and reassuring. He talked me through every inch of the procedure in a way that felt comfortable and geared toward my goals. He understands that each patient is different and this procedure does not mean the same thing for each person. If you are struggling with these same issues and are nervous about taking the step, I would encourage you to see Dr. Sterry. He truly is an amazing surgeon and person. With his help, I have made a full recovery and have my life back.

Excellent surgeon and so kind

The experience a while ago was as good as it gets for a first timer. Doctor and assistants were kind and calm. Results were not great. Went under the knife twice and barely saw a change. We looked at before and after photos and were both disappointed. Maybe it's just my face structure but will never go under again. Wish things could have been better. Feels like I just threw thousands of dollars out a window and was a letdown. Results might be different for others.

For years I would avoid close up photos and deleted most. I hated my "turkey" neck! At 76 years old you can well imagine how nervous I was to do surgery. From the moment I entered Dr. Sterry's office his entire staff was warm and welcoming. Dr. Sterry took his time explaining the neck lift procedure. In addition to the neck lift he added a lip lift. brow lift, fat grafting all to rejuvenate me. He responded to all my questions and concerns. Dr. Sterry was transparent about all the above. I knew then I was in "great" hands. I set the date! Approximately 2 weeks after the surgery I began to see the transformation in to a younger version of me. My family and friends were amazed how I looked in such a short time. I am so thrilled with the results. Thank you so much. You are the BEST!
