Stacey: My name is Stacey Lindburg. And I have been visiting Northwest Plastic Surgery since I was 24 weeks' pregnant with my son, Shane Petry. I found Northwest Plastic Surgery when I was in search for a surgeon who could conduct a repair on the cleft lip and palate that was identified during an ultrasound at my OB/GYN.
Shane: The services I received from the Northwest Plastic Surgery are a cleft lip and palate repair.
Stacey: When I was notified of the cleft lip and palate that Shane would be born with, I started doing some research on the internet to find out exactly what that meant, and what I needed to do to give him the best care possible. I found doctors all over the U.S. and was really looking for the best surgeon there was. At one point, I was talking to the president of the company that I worked for, who had a daughter with a cleft lip and palate, and he suggested that prior to spending the time and money to travel all over the U.S. to find the best surgeon that I visit with Dr. Stephen Hardy as he had good recommendations and had conducted some very high-quality repairs.
Shane: The thing I like the most about Dr. Hardy was that he related to me as a kid and made me feel comfortable, and made me feel confident about the surgery. The impact the surgery had on my life was it made me feel more confident. And I could relate to people who also had a cleft palate or lip going on.
Stacey: The impact that the surgery has had on Shane's life has been to make him a much more strong and confident young man. Going into life with a challenge ahead of him has allowed him to be strong from the very beginning. I would choose Northwest Plastic Surgery due to the quality, and the overall services that were provided. Dr. Stephen Hardy is a very high-quality physician. He spent the time and. . . he spent the time with us to explain it to us, and also the quality of the surgery was the very best that was available.
