I heard so many good things about Dr Joe I had to check him out! Everyone was extremely welcoming and polite. Tina & Dr Joe made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. Thank you for taking care of me!

sc

My nurse coordinator, Kaley, was so helpful during every appointment. She truly listened to all of my questions, concerns and also was very informative. Kaley made this process fun! I never felt rushed and always left each appointment feeling excited and satisfied with my choices.

Dr Joe and the entire staff are very professional and caring. I came in just to ask a few questions. I did not plan on getting anything done, but I felt very comfortable talking to Dr Joe. I knew that if I were to do anything-THIS WAS THE PLACE!

Dr Joe is amazing! The whole team made me feel comfortable - like a part of the family. Such an amazing and friendly staff. I would recommend and come back for any future work. My friend referred me. I loved her work as she had a tummy tuck too.

I was recommended by 3 other people. I was talked to honestly & in a friendly manor. Your staff made one of longest dreams a reality. I have boobies now!! I can't thank you enough. You guys rock!

Dr Mlakar is a very skilled surgeon. I appreciate that he does an excellent job and isn't satisfied unless he gets a very good result. All staff were calm and capable.

Excellent, 1st class care. I selected from online reviews, website and consultation confirmed.

Procedure was Rhinoplasty. I was referred to by another doctor. Every member of the staff was so kind and made the process so easy.

I had a tummy tuck. Kailey is wonderful & knowledgeable. I especially liked it was professional and friendly.

jb

You came highly recommended from a previous patient. I had inquired at a different doctor’s office for an augmentation, and my experience was less than desirable.

I felt like my desire to have an augmentation was completely supported at your office. All my questions were professionally answered and everyone treated me as a person, not just a patient spending money. I can’t stress enough how impressed I am with my entire experience with you all! JM

JM

I went through 3 other consultations, and you guys were my last one. I'm so glad I saved the best for last! As soon as I left my consultation with Dr. Joe, I knew he was the one I wanted to do my surgery! Kaley is the best!!

I had augmentation. I liked everything about the experience. Always felt welcomed & important. I chose Plastic Surgery Innovations from referrals and excellent reviews. I could not be any happier with my results & care.

SB

I came in for implant and capsule removal. I liked that I didn't feel rushed. A different provider saw me and had me in and out of the office in 10 minutes, including pictures. No prices were discussed and I was encouraged not to do the procedure because I wouldn't like the results. Here I had a lot of time spent with me and was explained what we could do at another time if I didn't like the results.

I had implants removed-new put in and tuck. Cosmetic surgery is very expensive, but you know when you go to Dr Joe, you will get the best and great results. My daughter went here a few years ago. She ws pleased and I have been too.

jm

Amazing 10/10! Thank you for making me feel more confident & comfortable in my body! I had many people refer you and loved seeing before & after pics (with Vectra). I always felt comfortable & respected.

Got rid of the pesky bat wings. The surgical team was kind, organized and efficient. I met a lady who was very happy with your services so I called.

EL

I did a lot of research online before I called. Tina is fantastic! I don't feel like a number. Kaley was very king before I went in. She made me very comfortable and kept me relaxed. Just a big thank you to everyone. The whole staff is wonderful! Dr Joe is a fantastic surgeon! I am very happy!

The best staff I have had contact with. Very friendly and kind. Excellent aftercare!

I chose this office from word of mouth and nurse to nurse recommendations. I was pleased with the entire process. From consultation, pre-op, recovery and follow-up - everything! I had a large abdominal scar that was completely gone after my surgery - that was my #1 goal & I was happy. But my belly looks great.

I was referred to Dr. Joe by a very good friend. I did my research on Dr. Joe and the results were very impressive. When I had my initial consult I knew immediately that Dr. Joe and his staff were the ones for me. From the very start everyone was so kind and supportive. Dr. Joe was very honest and informative about ideal results. In order to enhance his beautiful work I put the effort in of eating healthier and working out. Now let's talk about my Nurse Kaley! She is just what the practice needed. Kaley is thorough and professional while remaining totally dedicated, understanding, confidential and relatable. She came in to check on me after surgery and called me the next day. My recovery room nurse was amazing -God Bless her soul; coming off of anesthesia I wasn't the most pleasant and I appreciate her superb aftercare and patience with me. Overall best decision I have made- such a wonderful staff! Thank you to all for making me a better version of myself!

How would I rate my final result - 10 Excellent. Yes I would recommend your practice to friends. Nurses, anesthesiologist, surgeon (Dr Mlakar) were amazingly caring and calming!

Lori made me feel as if I as her only concern/priority. Very informative. Answered all my questions and then some. Dr Joe is knowledgeable with many years experience. I felt safe and secure in his hands. The end result gave me exactly what I hoped for. So thankful for their great care of me.

Awesome visit! Everything was explained in detail. Was told what to expect and what was next.

My mom received a face lift with Dr Joe and I was so impressed with the office I knew i'd be back myself! I always felt like I was a priority. I looked forward to each appointment I had with Dr. Joe and his staff. Everyone made me feel like I was a priority for every visit. I was always comfortable and cared for like I was family

lm

Everyone I met was so friendly and personable!! Not only was the experience great, but the end result is everything I wanted! Thank you ALL!

tl

I especially love the 3D computer imaging that gave me the most realistic vision in making my choice. This staff has love and compassion for their patients that goes beyond any office I've ever seen. I selected this office on a whim by a friend. It wasn't until I walked in the door until I realized what a great doctor I'd be working with.

km

Tummy Tuck - Dr Joe and his nurses were great! Both friendly and informative. I loved my results! I knew others with great results.

cj

I absolutely love Kaley and the energy she brings. She is the perfect hype-girl. I appreciate her throughout the entire process. I liked the 3D imaging when selecting breast size. The surgery process was great and I love the results! I would highly recommend Dr Joe and his team!

cs

I had the mommy makeover. I especially liked everyone very personal. Treated me like they had known me for years. Responsive with questions - timely. The surgical nurses were easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable.

HK

I had eyelid surgery. Kaley & Lori were wonderful and caring. The entire staff is great! I chose you for your reputation and recommended by a family.

jh

Considering how extensive this surgery was, he did a great job afterward to make the pain very bearable. I didn't have to take as much pain medication as I thought, which made the healing process faster. After having four children and not being able to work out because of severity of diastases recti and an umbilical hernia, it was so hard mentally and physically. He is amazing at what he does and he has changed my life. I can do more as a mom because I got my body back. It has been a process mentally knowing I look like I did prior to having babies. It has been a blessing from God having Dr. Joe give me the ability to also be healthier.

RS

This was my second surgery with PSI and both times I've been delighted. From my very first phone call 7 years ago to today, you've gone above and beyond to help me. I received respect and support for my decision, and you make every effort to work around my difficult schedule. Thank you for the excellent care. I couldn't be happier.

LM

Thank you so much for helping me regain my confidence in my body! I am so thankful for the caring staff from start to end. I have referred many people to Dr. Joe! I loved the consultation process. Lori as so thorough & attentive. She listened and cared what we had to say. I felt like I was meeting with a friend.

KB

Staff made me feel at ease. Felt like it was a NO judgement zone. Hard to show our imperfections to others. I would recommend letting patients know about other services you provide. I would recommend to others.

bm

Doc, you are amazing and professional. Your staff especially Lori, Tina and Kaley made me feel soooo safe. I refer people to your office often. I really believe you ALL provide stellar service.

CJ

The team as a whole cared about my whole person. This type of surgery is about more than just a final look and the team appreciates that and truly cares about every aspect of their patient. I selected this office from a recommendation and my great initial experience at the consultation.

ak

I came in for a mini facelift. The staff and Dr Joe are just the best! Always treat me like I'm their favorite - LOL

CS

I am thrilled with the work that Dr Joe and Lori did. They're professional and personable. I had breast implant revision and tummy tuck. I healed quickly. My breasts are dramatically improved. The way he makes your new belly button completely hides the typical tell tale sign of a tummy tuck. Incisions are perfectly done. if you're not already sold, a tummy tuck can have a huge positive impact on your sex life & satisfaction because of everything below the belt indirectly being lifted! Thrilled!

TM

The time and dedication of Dr. Joe and his staff were wonderful. The way everyone worked together to answer questions I had helped so much. Dr. Joe's reputation superseded all others in the Fort Wayne area. I have so much respect for him and what he does for everyone, especially children.

I felt as if I was the only patient. Very personal. ALL the staff is friendly, and felt I had special attention.

MK

Time spent with Lori both before and after surgery was extensive & helpful. She was always available to answer questions. The surgical results were exactly what I needed - very satisfied. The staff made effort to accommodate distance I had to travel. gl

I was recommended by co-worker. It was a pleasure meeting the team! Thank you for going above & beyond for me. Extremely satisfied with my results. Wish I would have scheduled a consultation sooner & wasn't so nervous about the process. Thank you for everything!

My visit was a very positive experience. Karen was very knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Joe gave me the answers to my questions and explained things very well. ld

Researched doctors in area who did Vaser Liposuction which is better for Lymphedema and Dr Joe was the one! I am overall happy with my results. I still feel like I am in healing stages. I may need a few more spot treatments. I free much better - I can fit into jeans better.

Friendly Staff and Doctor-19 Jun 2019
After meeting Lori and Dr. Mlakar I knew I had found the right place to have my rhinoplasty. They answered all my questions and addressed any concern I had. This was my first major surgery but I felt very pampered and at ease. Thanks to this wonderful team and Dr. Mlakar's expertise, I now have the nose I've wanted for a long time.

What did you like about the way you were treated? - Everything! Always felt welcomed & important. Could not be happier w/my results & care.

SB

Always made me feel like a priority & not an inconvenience. When I met w/Dr Joe I voiced concerns about procedures & my future weight lifting abilities. He assured me I would be well w/recovery & suggested an over the muscle approach.

AA

I had a breast augmentation. A friend recommended Dr Joe. The nurse and doctor were friendly and professional. I felt important.

"Everyone was very nice and accommodating. All of my questions were answered, and everything they told me was true. There was no sugar coating or unrealistic expectations."

H.K

"Dr. Joe took extra time in surgery to make sure he got a great result"

M.N

I am giving plastic surgery innovations 5 stars because this place is wonderful! I had went to another consultation at a different office located in Indianapolis and did not feel as welcomed and comfortable as I did with Dr. Mlakar and his staff. Dr. Mlakar is very patient, and listens to your wants/needs. He is very professional and made sure all of my questions were answered every time I seen him. He did a perfect job on my surgery, I couldn't have asked for better results. His staff is awesome and patient, every one there truly makes you feel like family. Plastic Surgery Innovation is excellent. Thank you Dr. Mlakar and staff for making me feel comfortable, and welcomed!
