Olding Michael, MD

Dr. Olding is a wonderful surgeon. I went in for a breast reduction/​lift and he did a great job. He’s not warm and cuddly during the exam but was great during the morning of the surgery and put my fears to rest. His nurse and office staff are fabulous. Recommend!

I went to Dr. Olding for upper eyelid reduction (blepharoplasty) after comparing ratings among multiple ratings venues (Angies, Washingtonian, Checkbook, etc.)
The surgery was done at GW Hospital and was superb in every way — I felt very well-​cared-​for. Recovery was easy, especially with the ice packs tailor-​made for eye surgery, easy to fill with ice chips. Bruising lasted about two weeks, but make-​up could cover it up sooner. Note: be prepared to sleep with your head elevated for a few days at least (I used bed wedges from Healthy Back). Results are simply terrific. Dr. Olding was especially helpful relieving my anxiety: he is straightforward, clear, takes the time necessary to explain, and has earned my complete trust.

Six weeks after breast reduction, all I can say is that I wish I had had this surgery, with Dr. Olding, many years ago. I am healing well, my body looks wonderful and the entire experience was professional. Dr. Olding is not a warm and fuzzy guy and if you are frightened by surgery or need a lot of hand-​holding you might be puzzled, to say the least. He is straightforward, blunt and actually sort of funny, but what you want in a surgeon is someone who really, really knows what he is doing. And that’s what you get here: an expert in breast reduction with a calm manner, professional staff and years and years of expertise.
Incidentally, I did not qualify for my insurance company’s standard of tissue removal (which would have left me pretty much flat-​chested) and paid for the surgery myself. It was worth every penny.

I researched for over 7 years for a great doctor for a breast Augmentation and was looking in the wrong places. Last summer I saw on USA Today, Dr. Olding. when I walked into his office I got that good vibe and friendly feeling from his staff and from the appearance of his office. it wasnt overly fluffy with with décor. Dr. olding was to the point, honest, and listened to what I had to say. Day of surgery, I felt like I was a VIP patient. I was given the best attention which made me comfortable for thw first having surgery. I am now currently 2 weeks post op and just left his office. everything looked the way I wanted them to and he explained to me about massages and what I can do as far as activity etc. I super happy about the results and have friends whi I refer to him. they too came out looking amazing!

After many years I finally found the courage to have a neck lift. I went to several doctors for consultation, and I chose the correct surgeon.
Dr. Olding clearly explained all my options and discussed my concerns.
The surgery went perfectly and recovery time was actually less than expected.
I am totally and completely happy with the results. Every time I pass a mirror I go «yes!» This is exactly what I wanted.
The friends and family who knew about the surgery give me big smiles when they see me; people who do not know about the surgery just tell me I look great.
Perfect. I highly recommend Dr. Olding.
