Newer Procedure (Not a Neck Lift) with One of the Best Doctor in the Business!!
Doctor Claytor is INCREDIBLE! I researched for months the ways I could get rid of my poor double chin genetics without doing read more... something drastic. After wasting time and money on Kybella, which did nothing but give me a beehive neck so swollen I didn't go in public for 2 weeks. Saw almost no difference.
Almost gave up until I came across a newer procedure called the Neck Elevate. Not very many doctors have the skills, tools or training to do it so I decided to try a consultation with Dr Claytor. So read more... glad I did it, my neck looks amazing!
Exceeded my expectations, Dr. Claytor is a very gifted surgeon.
I had a such a positive experience and I’m so pleased with my results! I had a HILT/Silhouette lift. Dr. Claytor is a very gifted read more... surgeon. It’s an extra bonus that he is also funny, warm and super nice!
The office is sparkling clean and sterile. Much care and attention is given to protocol for cleanliness and safety. His surgical staff and office manager are equally wonderful and made the entire experience so pleasant. I look ten years younger and won’t hesitate to return to this doctor in the future.
He was so kind and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. I can finally see my jawline for the first time and even better, Doctor Claytor was so fun and personable to work with, I will never read more... go to another doctor again! Wish I would have found him sooner!
No One I’d Rather Have in my Corner
Dr. Claytor is such a gem! I am so pleased with the results of a facelift and upper eyelid lift. He totally understood that I did not want to look like a different read more... person, just (very!) improved. He eliminated the crepey skin over my eyes and all of the wrinkly extra skin on my neck, as well as the little double chin. I am thrilled!!
His stellar skills are reason enough to choose Dr. Claytor, but it turns out that he is an extraordinarily sensitive and positive person, who is a delight to be around. Kudos also to Debbie and Melissa in his office, who were so friendly and reassuring every step of the way.
Facelift, Completely Satisfied
I had my jowls and neck lifted. The process was smooth from beginning to end. Going into it, I felt very confident that I made the right decision and was in good hands. read more... procedure was performed with local anesthesia. Surprisingly, I had almost no discomfort. My blood pressure was being monitored the whole time, and it was stable throughout. Even post-op, over the next several days, there was very little pain. The elastic bandage was slightly uncomfortable for a few days, but considering the work I had done, not bad. After 5 days, the swelling started going down considerably. On the 8th day after surgery, I felt comfortable enough to go back to work with makeup. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
Body Artist!
I highly recommend Dr. Claytor! He is an expertly skilled surgeon and a wonderful man. He performed my tummy tuck and lipo of my back around my bra area in March 2019. I am 56 years old and read more... have had four children. Every since my last child was born, I dreamed of getting a tummy tuck.
My stomach below my belly button was a mess of saggy loose skin, riddled with stretch marks. It looked like I was wearing an innertube. I could never properly fit in clothes and I felt like I looked read more... dumpy. After doing my research and learning that Dr. Claytor is an expert in abdominoplasty and even teaches other surgeons how to perform the drainless tummy tuck, I made my appointment for a consultation. Dr. Claytor immediately put me at ease with his friendly manner and confidence. Even my husband who didn't initially want me to get surgery was very comfortable after taking to Dr. Claytor. This is a major surgery but recovery was easier than I expected. I stayed in bed for about four days and then began getting up and moving around the house. About 10 days after surgery I went to someone's house for dinner and they didn't have any idea I had had surgery! There is not a day that goes by that I am not thrilled with my results! My stomach is now flat and tight, most of my stretch marks are gone and my scar is much faded and smooth. I used to wear a size 16 pants and now I wear a size 10. My only regret is that I didn't do this years earlier. I also can't say enough good things about his office staff. They were always kind and responsive. The pictures I have attached show the day before my surgery and 1 week after. If you have always wanted a tummy tuck go to Dr. Claytor, you won't regret it!
I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Claytor and his staff! I underwent a breast augmentation which isn’t always a comfortable issue or choice to make. Dr. Claytor and his staff were so read more... informative, and beyond helpful throughout the entire process. I never went to a doctor's office where I didn’t have to sit and wait in the waiting room and then the room for the doctor, but here I never waited it was very seamless.

My results are more than I ever could of expected and reassured me that I made the right decision in getting a breast augmentation, but more importantly choosing Dr. Claytor as my surgeon.

The office is a well-oiled machine run by caring and respectful people. read more... Dr. Claytor has an amazing bedside manner, he’s not only intelligent, experienced, and professional, but he is also compassionate, caring, kind, friendly and perpetually happy, with a remarkably positive energy. No question I ask is too trivial or silly, and I feel like he’s fully invested in giving me the outcome I’m looking for. If I could, I would give him 20 stars!
When considering rhinoplasty, I looked at many surgeons, but none compared to Dr Claytor. He has an awesome personality on top of amazing skill. Dr Claytor and his staff made me feel so comfortable read more... and helped me every step of the way. I googled “best main line plastic surgeon” and that he is. Thank you again Dr. Claytor!
I felt great the first time I walked into Dr. Claytor's office. It is so clean and beautiful I knew that I had selected a good practice. The first time I was about to meet Dr. Claytor I was nervous, read more... thinking...doctors can be so impersonal. Well, I was wrong...Dr. Claytor is very down to earth and listened so well to my concerns and offered tremendous advice throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable and left me feeling comfortable and confident in my decision to proceed with my procedure. His entire staff is great as well, they were kind and helpful each step of the way.

He explained to me what he was doing each step of the way to help make me feel comfortable. It was quick and painless, I went home and here I am 2 weeks out feeling great and very happy with my results! I would recommend Dr. Claytor and his team for many reasons but the quality that stood out the most to me would have to be the number of conversations that Dr. Claytor had with me HIMSELF. Not his nurses, himself. I think we spoke on the phone 5 times before my procedure and he called me many times right after my procedure to see how I was doing. You can't beat that. I felt like an important patient to Dr. Claytor even though I am sure he has tons of other things to do! Thank you Dr. Claytor and staff.
