Rosa S., Kempner

Amazing practice! From the front desk staff, to the nurses- caring, professional, and top notch care! I'm so glad I found you.I have had several people ask about my experience, where I went and I tell everyone hands down yall are the best! I am beyond happy with my results. Also, they were able to get me in sooner than my initial appointment, which was amazing because I wanted to do it prior to our wedding ceremony, and Dr Hand and his staff made it happen! Thankyou, can't wait to rock my new body in Puerto Rico!


Stacy , Robinson

Such a great experience from start to end. Each and every one of them are sweet and so caring and make you feel so at ease. Dr. Hand is an amazing craftsman and I can’t thank him and his amazing girls enough for changing my life.


Kim M. , Georgetown

I had a mommy makeover and couldn’t be happier. After babies I had totally lost my self esteem and I now feel more comfortable in my skin than I have in years. It was quite an investment with pain and a bit of recovery but so worth it. I can’t thank Dr. Hand and his wonderful team of ladies enough for making this a wonderful experience and giving me my self confidence back.


Kristine Daniels, Waco

Do they really post one and two star reviews on here? Don’t believe I see anyone’s post here except for 5 stars. My experiences were not that wonderful and neither were my results.


Crystal Copeland, Italy

My experience with Dr. Hand has been amazing. He listens to your concerns and needs to provide the best services for you. I would and have, recommended Dr. Hand to anyone needing plastic surgery services. So pleased with my decision to consult with Dr. Hand. The staff is so nice and accommodation to your needs. The girls are always willing to help with anything. I love the office, doctor, staff, and atmosphere.


Maria T., Temple TX

Dr. Hand and his staff are amazing!! The absolute BEST in their field!! I had a tummy tuck done and I am so in love with my results! I haven't felt beautiful, confident, or comfortable in my own skin in YEARS but Dr. Hand changed that! He is truly an artist! He tells it like it is! He wont tell you what you WANT to hear. He will tell you what you NEED to hear, THE TRUTH, and he doesnt beat around the bush! The staff is so caring and so sweet! They make you feel like part of their family! They always answer my MANY questions and address every concern I may have. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!! Thank you Dr. Hand and staff for changing my life!


Deanna L, Valley mills

Thank you to Dr. Hand and all of his amazing staff. They're all so professional and answer any questions, fears you may have. I am 1 week post tummy tuck and it already looks amazing. He definitely does great work. I would recommend him and his staff hands down. He does not sugar coat you and tells you what you do and do not need and I totally respect that. There is a reason he has such a wait list for his surgeries and this is why. Because they are that good.


Melinda , Waco

Dr. Hand is a excellent doctor he really cares about his patience. He calls and checks on you after surgery and will reply if you call him. I'm in love with my results.. Thank you Dr. Hand for everything.


Maranda, Waco

I had a breast lift done by Dr. Hand. The entire procedure from beginning to end was the best experience I have ever encountered in a surgical procedure. Dr. Hand has also been very caring and supportive during the entire recovery, and he did an amazing job on my breast transformation! Highly recommend!


Kristeen Lehrmann, Riesel

Just went for my three week check up post mommy makeover and I’m floored by the amazing work of Dr.Hand and staff. He and his team completely exceeded all my expectations from the beginning to the very end. I have not met one doctor who gives their personal phone to contact them after surgery. Five star service all the way with this group.


Meagan E., Gatesville

Dr.Hand and his staff are all amazing. I had a Tummy Tuck & Muscle Repair July 14, 2022. I'm currently 4 1/2 weeks post op and I am loving my results. I have lost over 100 lbs after having my 4th son and 3 were Csections leaving me with a large muffin top that hung over my pubic bone you couldn't even see my belly button. Within a couple weeks after my surgery I lost 15 lbs ! Dr.Hand is an artist he removed all my loose skin and pulled everything in the right direction where it shows off my curves and gave me a very cute belly button. I didn't have any complications post surgery and have seen him on multiple occasions for routine checks ups very pleased with his work so much that I'm going to a consultation with him next month for a breast lift and implants. Dr.Hand tells it like it is no sugar coating he is confident and listened to exactly what I was hoping to achieve having this surgery. My confidence is coming back I finally feel good in my own skin.


Lori K, Waco

This place is amazing!! The care you receive is very personable. Dr Hand is very compassionate and also very fun and down to earth. And very honest! He won't tell you what you WANT to hear, he will tell you straight! His staff his amazing as well! No need to ever travel outside of Waco, there is a great team right here! Thank you, Dr. Hand, and to your staff!! Don't ever leave!


Veronica D, Temple

I was a returning customer. I had a tummy tuck in 2013 and breast augmentation in 2021. Love my results w both surgeries. Staff is awesome all around from financial counselor, office assistant and nurses. Dr Hand is awesome surgeon. I can’t thank them all enough. Keep up the great customer service ??


Trena G, Bruceville Eddy, TX

Dr. Hand was my first and only consultation for a tummy tuck. His knowledge and professionalism assured me I was at the right place. Fast forward to my actual procedure, he did PHENOMENAL. Im only 2 weeks out, but he has absolutely given me my confidence back. Dr. Hand and his entire staff are absolutely wonderful. He personally calls each and every patient to check on them. Dr. Hand is an artist that far exceeded every expectation I had. I cannot brag on him enough! Thank you again Dr. Hand!!?? If you are considering a modification, Dr. Hand is your man!!


Linda, Waco

One of the best gifts I have ever given myself. At 60 yrs. of age, a breast reduction and lift was just a guilty wish and expense. Then I looked at the benefits and decided I was worth it. Dr. Hand and his Staff were so genuine and knowledgeable. From the front desk Staff, to the Nurses and Anesthesiologist, I was always cared for and informed. As for Dr. Andy Hand, he listened to my needs and what I wanted and made my wish come true. To those who look for big cities to do these procedures, remember that bigger cities do not always have the best Plastic Surgeons. Put yourself in his Hands. Waco has a true gift with with Dr. Andy Hand!


Kayla , Killeen

I have only great things to say about Dr. Hand and his team! I have been following Dr. Hand for years and am so glad I chose Dr. Hand to get the procedure I’ve been wanting for years. I could not be happier with the entire process from before scheduling my consult to post-OP. They treat you like you are one of a kind. And make sure you are comfortable, educated, and understand each step. I’m 1 week post op and have been amazed with how minimal pain has been and the healing process thus far. Dr. Hand has been so kind to answer my a million and one questions! Long story short- GO SEE DR. HAND! You’ll understand immediately why he and his team are so appreciated! I will forever brag on Dr. Hand and his whole team!


Bonnie R, Harker Heights, TX

Dr. Hand was recommended to me by a friend who had undergone a breast augmentation. I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Hand and his team for helping me achieve my desired outcome for my breast augmentation. From the very first appointment, Dr. Hand’s team were friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. Dr. Hand was professional and was fantastic at addressing any concerns I had regarding the procedure. My results are exactly what I had hoped for post-op, and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking a breast augmentation.


Kristin Hollingsworth, Ennis

Dr Hand was and still is amazing! I had an abdominoplasty in may 2020 and the recovery and follow up was spot on! He and his team treat you like family and make you feel so comfortable. They are all so compassionate and have excellent bedside manor. The pain was minimal compared to other reviews I have read from other surgeons. If you are thinking of getting a BA or tummy tuck, go see Dr Hand. You will not be disappointed!!!!


Trista, Austin

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Hand and his staff! They're the nicest medical staff I've come across. They're all so personable, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. I've been wanting a breast reduction for over 15yrs and I wish I had found Dr. Hand sooner. I couldn't be happier with my results! If you're hesitant about having surgery, I CANNOT RECOMMENED HIM AND HIS TEAM ENOUGH. 15/10. Would do again and again! Phenomenal experience!


Mary L, Morgans Point Resort (Belton), Texas

I had breast augmentation 2 weeks ago. I came home a few hours later and to my surprise have had very minimal pain since the surgery. He was very patient while I choose my new size and asked a ton of questions on both of my pre-op appts. Not too many Drs are as hands on as Dr Hand. He and is entire staff were fantastic and easy going. I knew I picked the perfect Dr when he called me later the evening of my surgery himself to check up on me. That’s pure awesomeness!!


Jessica M., Killeen

From consultation and admission process was pleasant and very courteous. With all my questions answered in a comfortable and safe way. Nurses and the staff is beyond professional, respectful and very informative With Instruction and care advice. They were very sufficient and caring for my comfort and privacy. At surgery all my questions were answered in a sensitive and caring matter. Overall my results are beyond of what I expected I recommend anyone to Dr. Hand and his great staff for sure.


Desiree Martir Rodriguez, Killeen Tx

I am very happy to choose Dr. Hand and his staff. He answers all my questions, he was so honest and explain the pros and cons so easily. The Dr. and the staff are always available for any questions. The day of the surgery I was so nervous and they make me feel so safe and comfortable, lit was an amazing experience!!!


Raquel F, Killeen

Dr. Hand and his team are by far the most sweetest and understanding medical team I have ever seen. I was very nervous up until going into the ER and their care and thoughtfulness were extraordinary. If you are looking into getting a procedure done with them, I recommend them without a doubt! Thank you all for such an amazing experience. I truly didn’t have to be worried one bit.


Kanisha J. , Waco

Dr. Hand and his entire staff is simply amazing. They made me feel so incredibly comfortable from the moment I walked in for my consultation. I had been wanting a breast augmentation for years, but was too nervous and scared to go through with it until I went to see Dr. Hand. He truly has the magical hands. Although I am only one week post-op, I am amazed at my results. He definitely exceeded my expectations. Quite honestly I expected Dr. Hand to be arrogant, but he is so incredibly personable, professional, and definitely cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Hand and his team.


Kathyw, Waco

Great experience from the first call thru post op visit. Dr Hand is honest in his assessment and recommendations. Friendly and professional bedside manner. Would definitely recommend him!


Kathy W, Waco

Dr Hand was great from the consultation thru to follow up after surgery. I appreciated his honest, straight forward and professional approach and bedside manner. His goal is to make sure you make an informed decision that’s right for you and will deliver on whatever your choose. Highly recommend him and his team.


Elena ML, Killeen

Melissa Ovalle, Lake Elsinore

Great Job!


Holly S, Jacksoro

I am so pleased at the procedures that I have had done by Dr. Hand. They have exceeded my expectations. The staff is SO friendly and helpful. I recommend him all the time to friends. I only wish I had gone to see him a few years ago instead of putting off procedures. I wouldn't have anything done anywhere but here.


S.M., Killeen

Dr. Hand and his staff are professional and highly skilled. They made me feel confident of my pending surgery. Dr. Hand skills with a scalpel are magical. He took a 54 year old body and transformed it into a beautiful tight and firm 30 something. I had the mommy make over and it was worth every penny I spent. Dr. Hand and staff has wonderful bedside manners. Post-operatively I expected to get a follow up phone call from one of the staff members, but to my surprise Dr. Hand called me personally. I highly recommend Dr. Hand and his wonderful professional staff.


Peggy Green, Fairfield, Texas

I went to Dr. Hand for a tummy tuck from loosing alot of weight and he did a beautiful job! Neer imagined that I could look so good at my age (70). His staff and Dr. Hand were so helpful anytime I had questions and after surgery was readily available and called to check on me. I never had any issues and healed perfectly. I took the recommended vitamins, etc. that he recommended for quick recovery. I would highly recommend using Dr. Hand to anyone who are contemplating his service.


Tammy Ward, Temple

I had the most amazing experience on my 2nd breast augmentation with Dr. Hand. I wish I would have known about him 10 months prior when I had my 1st . And his staff, let me tell you they are the best group of caring women I've ever dealt with at a clinic. Don't hesitate give him a call!!


Courtney G., Fort Hood

I couldn't be more pleased with the results of my breast augmentation. Dr. Hand and the entire staff are so sweet, and made me feel very comfortable at all of my appointments. I will definitely be returning if/when I choose to have other procedures. 10/10!


Kathi L., Waco

I have visited several plastic surgery offices in my life; some very exclusive, expensive practices in Denver. I have never felt as comfortable and as "at ease" as I felt in Dr. Hand's office. The staff is always smiling and friendly! Dr. Hand was always very professional and answered all my questions thoroughly. I had to have my 20 years old breast implants removed and new ones put in. He did an outstanding job! I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Dr. Hand, and your amazing staff for a great experience!!!


Crystal p, Buffalo

I had my breast augmentation done 2 weeks ago and I'm in love with the results. Dr. Hand is great and explaining everything. His staff is amazing and very sweet as well. I highly recommend them


I.H., Waco

There is one week after my breast augmentation, I'm very very thankful for Dr. Hand!!! He did an awesome job, and made my dream come true. I'm also very thankful for people working there and taking care of me before and after surgery, me and my husband are very happy now. And also I want to say for women probably reading this now, i can say I was very scared of pain and everything, but I can say it is not painful at all, and there is nothing to be scared , just follow your dream. Thank you Dr. Hand!!!!


Kate, Killeen

I had the most amazing experience. Such a professional team!
