Tummy Tuck Angelina Hopson July 2023
I had my Tummy Tuck done in July and I could not be happier with the outcome, Dr John Pedersen is amazing, and little does he know he made a huge difference in my life. My Birthday is on the 4th of September and because of him I will look amazing in my dress - 60 and fabulous. I will definitely send recommendations your way, you're the best Akron has to offer!

Dr. Pedersen and his STAFF are truly amazing! I had breast reduction and lift and I look and feel better than I did before I had 3 kids! I am 56 and WISH I had done this years ago. My back feels 100% better and I am so thankful to have had this life changing opportunity! I know it is hard to believe, but I had no pain after surgery, just felt tightness. I took no pain meds! For the first time in 30 years, I was able to purchase a bathing suit and plan to join a swim exercise class soon. I am so happy with Dr. Pedersen and his staff and would give them more stars if I could!!!!!
3 weeks post-op breast implant removal, lift & tummy tuck with muscle repair - Akron, OH
I was referred to Dr. Pedersen by my OBGYN. I felt comfortable with him the moment I walked into his office. His staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They were helpful and understanding from the beginning and have been throughout this whole process. Tomorrow is my three week check up and I couldn't be happier. I had my breast implants removed, with a breast lift and I also had a tummy tuck with muscle repair. When I see myself in the mirror I can't believe it's my body! The weekend after my surgery I had some additional questions for Dr. Pedersen and he took the time to talk to me more than once on a Saturday night. His ladies in the office addressed all my questions either over the phone or by email right away as well. If you need a good plastic surgeon, Dr. Pedersen is your guy! I would choose him again. Thanks so much!
Awesome experience ta ta to the tatas - Akron, OH
From my breast reduction consultation to after I got home the night of surgery Dr. Pedersen was everything I expected and more. He took the the time to explain everything and answer any questions I had. Not only did he take care of me he also made my family more at ease the day of surgery. He even personally called me the night of surgery to check on me. I would recommend him to anyone. I also adore and appreciate all of the ladies in his office they also answered any questions I may have had especially Julie who has gone above and beyond helping me get my paperwork in order for work.

Long-awaited, Should Have Done It Sooner, Breast Reduction - Akron, OH
Dr John Pedersen is a highly skilled, personable, caring surgeon who immediately put my mind at ease. After seeing the results of my surgery, I was totally amazed at the precision it took to remove so much skin and flesh with the end result being two perfectly matching, much smaller, breasts...and to imagine how tedious that kind of surgery must be when a person's chest is moving up and down as they breathe on the operating table. I can't get over that. Only a highly trained and experienced surgeon could do what Dr Pedersen did for me.
Treat Yo Self! - Akron, OH
I loved Dr. P from the beginning. Very realistic about what could be achieved, confident of himself but with just enough awkwardness to make him charming and unintimidating. I love that he works directly with the hospital and he's doing amazing new procedures in the area (Robotic Assistance. How cool is that?!). The staff were all friendly and easy to talk to. As a younger patient I was concerned that I may not be taken seriously inquiring about an expensive procedure, but I felt respected and all of my questions and concerns were answered. I liked the results so much that I've decided to have another procedure done by him as well.
That decision was completely my own and I never felt bullied into a procedure by Dr. Pedersen or his staff - the procedures I made consultations for were the only things discussed at those times. I would say the only thing that other people might not like is that he didn't spend a lot of time discussing every little detail about things. I got the condensed version; there was no drawing lines to show where incisions would be, etc. Personally I didn't mind, I trusted his judgement and felt that as the surgeon he knew exactly what needed to be done for my case. I think had it bothered me I could have asked for more details and to further discuss the procedure and there would not have been any issue at all, but I felt confident enough that he knew what he was doing. ;)

41 Year Old Mom of 4 Tummy Tuck - Akron, OH
Dr. Pedersen has a great bedside manner. I consulted with several surgeons. I chose Dr. Pedersen because of his credentials and the fact that I felt very much at ease with him. He also offers the "no drain" tummy tuck ( depending on the patient and circumstances) I liked this option and I felt he was the best surgeon for me.

Dr. Pedersen is an amazing person. Not only did he do a fantastic job on my Panniculectomy but he alleviated all my concerns before surgery. He even held my hand until I was completely under anesthesia which reassured me that he really did care for my well being... not just about getting the surgery over and done with. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Northeast Ohio area!

Dr. Pedersen did my direct to implant breast reconstruction. My results are beautiful-- better than I could have ever hoped for. Before surgery, Dr. Pedersen told me his job would be to make me "feel whole." I don't think I fully understood what that meant at the time-- but I do now. Every time I look in the mirror, I'm reminded of why I'm so thankful to feel whole after going through so much. I'd recommend Dr. Pedersen to absolutely anyone-- cosmetic or reconstructive. Thank you Dr. Pedersen and the whole office for everything you've done for me!

Excellent experience from start to finish! I was referred to Dr. Pedersen by a couple of friends and was not disappointed. My procedure was a mastopexy and augmentation. From the first consultation Dr. Pedersen and his staff were so kind! They answered all of my questions and were so thorough with information and explaining the procedure and what all it entailed. The procedure itself went so smoothly! Dr. Pedersen was so wonderful and could tell I was nervous! Recovery was so much easier than I expected. My pain post surgery was very mild and I felt great after a couple days! I am honestly so happy with the results and have received many compliments from others as well! 10 out of 10! Highly recommend Dr. Pedersen!
