"My best friend had a breast augmentation with Dr. Kalus. I went with her to her consult and agreed with everything he had to say. I also took care of my friend after surgery and was amazed how well she was recovering which is usually not easy, I would know, I've been running this site for 14 years and have read tons of breast surgery stories and took care of several friends after their surgery. Her breast implants also look great! ~Rebecca (Site Owner)

"Excellent, skilled surgeon!! Has a great eye for what he does and achieving pretty, natural results (you can tell by looking at his gallery). Did a great job on my breast augmentation I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. Listens well to patient concerns, responded promptly to my calls or emails. Wish his office would take more time to give more specific and thorough verbal/written pre- and post-operative care instructions, but in every other way, this doctor is wonderful! Do your research, ask any questions; this surgeon is a great choice." ~Sara (Breast Surgery Patient)
I cannot thank him enough for his care and compassion during the preparation for my abdominoplasty and after the surgery. I am truly fortunate to have found a Plastic Surgeon of his skill here in Columbia. ~P.S. (Plastic Surgery Patient)
I wanted to take a moment to thank Dr. Kalus for doing such a wonderful job on my breast augmentation a couple of months ago. This was something I thought about doing for a long time and I’m glad I finally did it. My results are very natural – I look like I did before I had my children and I couldn’t be more pleased. So a big thank you to Dr. Kalus and his wonderful staff for taking such good care of me! ~T. P. (Plastic Surgery Patient)
I am just thrilled with the success of my recent liposuction. I was born with a rounded belly that only got worse as I aged. My surgery flattened my abdomen and gave me the motivation to take better care of myself through diet and exercise. ~L. D. (Plastic Surgery Patient)
He is such a wonderful person and an extremely talented physician. There are no words that I can find to truly express my gratitude and admiration for him. My father said that “you were the best” and only demanded that you were the one to operate on me. It is so clear to me now, why he felt so strongly. May God continue to bless you and your family, for he has blessed me so graciously by bringing Dr. Kalus into my life. ~N. S. (Plastic Surgery Patient)
I want to thank Dr. Kalus for the impeccable care you and your staff provided me for my recent rhinoplasty. This is the second procedure he has performed for me and as before I am tickled with my results. It truly is still me, only better. ~J. L. (Plastic Surgery Patient)
This is to express my gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful care I received from Dr. Kalus and his staff. I am very pleased and happy with the outcome. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a more comfortable living with their body. ~L. P. (Plastic Surgery Patient)
His calm demeanor immediately put me at ease, and the whole surgery experience was way better than I ever imagined. My new chin and chest are absolutely perfect. ~D. D. (Plastic Surgery Patient)
