Scott J. Engel, MD, FACS

I first learned about Dr. Engle nearly a decade ago through my sister, who worked at the hospital and was deeply impressed by his remarkable reconstructive work on patients. Many medical professionals share this admiration, and it’s clear why he is considered the best. Over the years, I’ve entrusted Dr. Engle with various procedures, including breast augmentation, breast explant, a lift, fat transfer, and blepharoplasty. His work is truly exceptional—each procedure reflects his expertise and artistry, resulting in natural and stunning outcomes. In addition to his remarkable skills and exceptional credentials, what sets Dr. Engle apart is his wonderful bedside manner. He is approachable, honest, and trustworthy, making every visit a positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Engle and will continue to seek his expertise in the future.

Dr. Engel is an exceptionally gifted plastic surgeon. This level of surgical trade craft is typically only found in larger cities. Dr. Engel is a gift to our community.

After many years I finally decided to go forward with a breast augmentation! I met with Dr Engel and he by far pasted my expectations as a doctor. He was so patient and really took the time to explain the entire process to me. As well as help me select the proper implant. I am now about a week post op and healing wonderfully. I am so happy with my experience with him and the practice!

The best experience I have had with a doctor. It took me years to convince my husband to be on board with the surgery I had. I am so grateful that it was such a positive experience. Dr. Engel was so kind. He kept me very calm. I didn't have an fears about going under and waking up. I am still healing and everything looks amazing. The entire office is so wonderful even when I get a bit annoying with all my questions. They always treat me with so much kindness. I have recommended Dr. Engel to all of my friends who are interested in some type of plastic surgery.

I initially wrote down my thoughts about the procedure in my Notes app about two months after having it done, intending to write a review at that time. However, I decided to wait and see how I felt about the results before sharing my experience publicly. Now, two years later, I feel ready to share my story. For a long time, I thought it would be pointless or even foolish to speak up, but I’ve since changed my mind—especially after learning that legal action can’t be pursued after two years. While suing might feel like too extreme a step, I do believe it’s important to leave an honest review. I got my breast augmentation on August 24, 2023, with Dr. Engle. I chose him because the clinic’s website was informative, and the before-and-after photos of his work looked natural — exactly what I was hoping to achieve. During my initial consultation, things went well. Dr. Engle answered my questions and assured me that if I had any doubts about the implant size or profile, we could go over them again at the pre-op appointment. In the following week, I did start having some doubts and wanted to see him again to ensure we were completely on the same page. For reference, I drive about an hour and a half to his office — which was my choice — but I mention it because every visit took planning and effort. When I arrived for my pre-op appointment, the nurse brought me into the room and mentioned that Dr. Engle would be with me shortly. A few minutes later, I overheard her asking another staff member if he was coming down, and the response was that he was “busy upstairs and can’t come down.” I’m not sure whose responsibility it was to schedule me at a time when he was unavailable, but I found that situation very unprofessional. This was supposed to be the last chance to speak with my doctor before surgery, and I had important questions about the sizing and profile that I wanted to confirm directly with him. Instead, I ended up having to go over my concerns with the nurse. She tried her best to help, but I really needed to speak with Dr. Engle himself. It felt as if he didn’t care, and I was left feeling uneasy and uncertain going into the procedure. The next time I saw Dr. Engle was right before surgery. I hoped we could talk for at least 30 minutes to review everything one last time, but we barely spoke for five minutes. He said, “During our consultation, you wanted to do 300cc and a high-profile implant,” but that wasn’t accurate — we had agreed on a moderate profile during the consultation. I was caught off guard because I didn’t fully understand the difference between profiles, and I trusted that as the doctor, he would guide me clearly through that decision. I reminded him of what we’d discussed, and he replied that he thought high-profile implants would “better align with my goals.” The issue is that he didn’t actually know my goals — he wasn’t present for my pre-op appointment, where I had planned to show him examples of results I liked and didn’t like. Now, I’m left feeling deeply unhappy with my results. The implants project outward much more than I wanted, and they don’t look natural to me. I feel depressed and regretful, wishing I had been stronger in that moment to speak up or postpone the surgery. I trusted him to know what was best for me, but looking back, I believe he should have made time to attend my pre-op appointment and discuss everything in detail. Since then, I’ve spoken with other women who said their surgeons were always present at pre-op appointments, which made me feel even more like I was treated unfairly and not given the level of care I expected. When I returned for my two-week post-op appointment, I saw Dr. Engle again. That visit felt rushed, and there was no acknowledgment or apology for missing my pre-op appointment. Overall, I’m left feeling disappointed and emotionally affected by the experience. I truly wish there had been better communication, consistency, and care throughout the process.
