Dr. Powers was incredibly kind and attentive. She listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained all of my options.

Dr. Powers is the best. She listened to my concerns, discussed the various options with me, and I felt so confident in what she did moving forward. She obviously really cares about her patients and takes the time to make sure you're comfortable. She did an excellent job on my procedure and I wouldn't hesitate to go to her again.
Dr. Powers is wonderful! She was very kind and clearly explained my options of how best to close the wound after Mohs surgery on my face. She explained what she was doing as she went, and made sure I was comfortable and doing well the entire time. She was super picky about how it looked, even saying she was going to redo a stitch because it could be better. I am confident my scar will be minimal and hardly noticeable when it's all healed. I definitely would recommend her!
I would recommend Dr. Powers for any facial procedure. She is meticulous in her care and even gave me her phone number if I needed to call over the weekend. She is very articulate and listens carefully. She is the very best.
Dr Powers is a caring person and very knowledgeable in the care and medical knowledge that she has.

She is not just a great doctor but a beautiful human being.....I am very grateful to her and to her whole team......
Good care provider
Dr. Powers was the first plastic surgeon who really listened to me. She took my photos herself and then used video morphing to show me the possibilities and discussed all options, including ones I hadn't thought about. I feel confident having her as my surgeon.
Ive already given my feelings about Dr Powers.
World class specialist who will help you achieve the best outcomes for your care.
She is a first-rate facial plastic surgeon
