Thomas Walek

Dr. Walek has performed two surgeries for me--and they are two of the best and most important changes in my life. I had a badly healed c-section scar and had lost a significant amount of weight. I felt very unhappy with my appearance and felt very uncomfortable. I never thought I would get plastic surgery, but it was obvious that my body was not going to change itself. I interviewed three doctors in the Boston area and wasn't comfortable with any of them. I felt like I was getting too much of a sales pitch or wasn't being told the information I needed to know. I was referred to Dr. Walek, and as soon as I spoke with Karen, who runs the office, I knew I had found the right place. She is efficient, professional, supportive, and kind. Dr. Walek is calm, incredibly experienced, and thorough. In 2014, Dr. Walek performed a tummy tuck for me at Kent Hospital (where I received some of the best nursing support I have ever received or witnessed--and I've worked in healthcare most of my adult life). The next day I knew it was a complete success and that I had made the right choice. A year later, I came back to Dr. Walek to discuss the rest of the lower body lift. He had advised me to wait to do the second half, and I'm really glad he did. My recovery went smoothly from the first surgery, and I was even stronger and fitter for the second. The second surgery was just two weeks ago, but, again, I can already tell that it went well. My care at Kent was again superb and my recovery is going really well. The surgeries have changed my life, how I feel about myself, and the message I'm sending my daughter. I'm proud of how I look now, I feel more confident, I made changes that improved my weight and health, and with Dr. Walek's and Karen's help, I've made changes that have improved my appearance and every aspect of my life. I want my daughter to know that it is ok for someone to make improvements--I'm not seeking perfection, but these changes have brought me happiness.
