"10/10 recommend Dr Halka and his staff! I researched other local plastic surgeons before making my decision. I loved the reviews I read & before & after results from Dr. Halka. My experience has been amazing throughout the whole process from the consultation to post op. I had abdominoplasty & breast augmentation done on 5/21. My results are even better than I expected, I couldn’t be more thrilled! I finally have my confidence back after having 2 children. Dr Halka is very knowledgeable, kind & compassionate. He answered all of my questions with ease. I would highly recommend him to my friends and colleagues. If you’re considering taking the next step, schedule a consultation. You will be in great hands! Thank you Dr. Halka!"

"Amazing LBL with MR and Fat Transfer to Buttocks - After 4 babies and a weight loss of 80lbs, finally decided it was time to get rid of some skin. Went in thinking mommy makeover. Dr Halka told me he didn’t think the tummy tuck results would make me happy and recommended the lower body lift. I was concerned about it flattening out my butt so he also suggested the fat transfer. I could not be more pleased with the results. I cried the first time I saw my new tummy. Best money I’ve ever spent. Totally worth it!! He has been wonderful through the entire process. As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway."
"I had a tummy tuck, breast lift and lipo 3 months and I couldn't believe the fabulous job Dr. Joshua Halka performed! Besides being well pleased with his work, Dr. Halka is very informative, easy to talk to and understand. He listens to your concerns and takes time to explain things and goes above and beyond to make you feel very comfortable. His bedside manors are devine and his staff are all very sweet and professional. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Halka as his work is some of the best I've seen and experienced first hand ."
"Dr Halka was amazing for my tummy tuck. he did an awesome job and was so kind and professional. The results far exceeded my exceptions. I was so pleased that I decided to have an arm lift. The arm lift turned out to be outstanding. Thank you Dr. Halka for making me more confident with my older body."
"I had a tummy tuck, breast aug and chin lipo with Dr. Halka this month and I could not be more pleased with not only my results but just the overall experience! Dr. Halka listened to what I wanted and over delivered. His bedside manner was 100/10. He walked with me to my car after surgery. He personally pulled my drains out because I was so scared. Halka truly cares about his patients and it shows. Highly recommend!"
"I had the pleasure of having my Tummy Tuck and lipo done by Dr .,Halka in January 2023. And I must say I have been very satisfied. Dr. Halka has the best bestside manners I have ever experienced. His attention to detail and the manner he puts my mind at peace prior to the surgery was exceptional. Staff in office were equally amazing at his office and also at the OR. My confidence is renewed. And after having the amount of children I had, my stomach and body shows the wear and test. But now I am very happy with my body and how I look when i look in the mirror. This has been Truly a life changing experience for me. I will Highly recommended Dr. Halka. I am completely happy with my “new waist and body ”. Not only is Dr. Halka an amazing human being he is an excellent surgeon and very well trained and very patience. He listened to my needs and concerns, relieved my worries and showed genuine concern for what my needs were before and after the surgery was done. I am 9 1/2 out from my abdominoplasty and lipo to flanks and am in love with my body. While surgery recovery is of course know to be challenging, there have been zero complications, and my life is already transformed. Dr. Halka answered all my question and was very honest and supportive with ensuring I was fully informed about my procedure and what to expect. His entire staff is amazing and always available to answer any questions and concerns you may have. From this 52 years old lady i feel great and I am beyond please with my result I would definitely recommend Dr. Joshua Halka. He is the best, and he did an amazing job with my tummy tuck, and by the way, my belly button is perfect 🤩. My confidence has gone through the roof, and looking in the mirror, I am in love with my body . Thank you Dr. Halka and staff for making this pink lady happy and boosting my confidence. Eternally grateful, Deborah J. (Melanin Barbie)"
"I had my tummy tuck surgery done about a year and I must say am more confident about how I look now. He really did a great job from waist 34” to 28” now. The recovery after surgery has it’s own challenges but after 2 weeks I was fine . Dr. Halka was checking on me with phone calls to make sure everything was good. The staff were awesome and very polite in person and on phone ready to answer all my questions . I really love my body shape now, I don’t have to wear any body shaper under my clothes. He is a doctor who really listens and advises on making the right choices concerning any type of plastic surgery you looking forward doing. I recommend him today and always. And on top of it all He is very humble! Diana A."
"I had an amazing experience with Dr. Halka from consultation up to full recovery. He provided me with the required education by explaining things to the best of my understanding. His follow ups after the procedures were excellent. Even when I had complications, he was there to provide the necessary revisions to make sure the end result was great. He is someone you can trust with your body and you can trust his judgment as well. He has strong passion for excellence and has excellent human relations. I will recommend him over and over again for anyone desiring the best outcomes for such procedures.I had a tummy tuck and breast lift."
"Meticulously re-designed my body to the best I feel it can be! - I am a massive bariatric weight loss surgery patient. I’ve lost 158 lbs! I exercised the entire time during my journey but was left with flapping skin on my arms, and massive excessive skin everywhere. I interviewed surgeons, and Dr. Halka was my chosen surgeon and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. He was ‘The One!”. He is kind, beyond intelligent, personable, humble yet confident, and was excited to help me! He won me over from his first handshake! I had him fix my drooping saggy arms in November, 2022. My results were so great that I returned a few months later in April, 2023 to Dr. Halka who performed my bilateral thigh lift, Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair, and circumferential body lift! He removed almost 12 lbs of sagging, loose skin. He meticulously re-designed my body to the best I feel it can be! What skill! My tummy is flat (it has been literally decades since I’ve had a flat tummy) and my belly button is adorable! My scars are beautiful, thin and even! I am 52 years old and I truly have never felt or looked better! I have been blessed to have found him! I highly recommend this terrific surgeon! He listened to every concern and answered every question. I never felt rushed or unheard. He checked on me post-surgery in recovery to make sure all was ok! He kept me close in follow up post-surgery visits to make sure I was healing properly. He’s the Best! I thought losing the weight was the best part, not knowing the skin removal surgeries would ‘complete’ me and finish my journey. I am forever grateful for him, and to him!"
"Professional surgeon & great mommy makeover follow up - Dr Halka did an amazing job on my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. He explained everything to me and always took the time to answers any follow up questions or concerns that I had following the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Halka to anyone that is contemplating plastics. You won’t find a more caring professional."
