I am going to refer everyone I know here. I absolutely love this place. When anyone asks me about where to find a great plastic surgeon I always recommend Dr. Ghazi at the Georgia Institute for Plastic surgery. I was very pleased with my results and wouldn't go to anyone else. They are located near two hospitals; historic downtown Savannah, and all the perks of Savannah are close by. The appointment time is awesome! No needless waiting for hours to see the doctor for a few minutes; every time I go I spend more time with the doctor, which is awesome! They are so friendly and personable too!!. One of the first things I noticed about this business was the level of detail and attention to make the building handicap-accessible. Even the bathrooms were designed to be accessible with doors wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and grab bars in the stalls. You could tell they really made an effort to accommodate people with all different needs.
