Brian Derby MD, FACS

Dr. Derby was amazing - I cannot say enough about my experience. Dr. Derby was extremely thorough and walked me through every part of the surgeries I was having done and was never in a rush. He took a lot of time with me and even more time with my husband who is a physician. We were both so comfortable with Dr. Derby and hadn't even had surgery yet. On the day of surgery, Dr. Derby was extremely reassuring before surgery and he spent a lot time after surgery talking to my husband. Dr. Derby and his staff were wonderful throughout the day of surgery. After surgery, I truly felt like I was part of Dr. Derby's family. He checked on me many times to make sure I was doing ok and healing well. I am extremely happy with the results of my surgery and the healing process was a lot better than I could have imagined. I would 1000% recommend Dr. Derby - we actually traveled from a quite a distance to see him and there is no other surgeon we would or will go to. We are so appreciative and thankful for his care.

I don't even know where to begin, because Dr. Brian Derby and the entire team at Sarasota Plastic Surgery didn't just change my body — they changed my life. I never thought I'd actually be in a position to have surgery. And even when I was finally ready, I was still nervous. But I had put in the work — years of it — and I knew it was time to take the leap. What I didn't know was just how extraordinary the experience would be from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely seen, heard, and cared for. Not like a patient on a schedule — like a person who mattered. Danielle and Lisa, Dr. Derby's nurses, were incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. They were present, warm, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel safe. And then there's Dr. Derby himself. For seven days after my surgery, he personally called to check on me. Every single day. That kind of commitment to his patients is rare, and it says everything about who he is as a physician and as a human being. I had a circumferential abdominoplasty and breast augmentation, and the results were instantly awe-inspiring. My shape changed immediately — exactly the way I had hoped and needed it to. But more than that, the results finally reflected the work I've put in and who I am, not who I was or who I've been. If you are a woman who has worked hard and feels like she's earned this moment — if you're a mom who gave everything to her family and is ready to invest in herself — if you're scared and on the fence and wondering if it's worth it — please read this review as your answer: yes. It is worth it. And Dr. Derby is worth trusting with that decision. I am five weeks post-op and I am a different person. Not because of what was taken away, but because of what was finally given back to me — the outside finally matching the inside. Thank you, Dr. Derby. Thank you, Danielle and Lisa. You have my gratitude for life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Derby from start to finish. From our initial consultation, he was incredibly thorough, taking the time to walk me through every detail of the procedure, answer all my questions, and make sure I felt fully informed and comfortable with my decision. He is genuinely kind, patient, and attentive. I never felt rushed, and he made me feel supported every step of the way. The surgery itself went smoothly, and my recovery has been far better than I expected, which I truly credit to his skill and the care he puts into his work. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience. He truly cares about his patients and is my top recommendation!

Just had my breast reduction and lift, and honestly… If my husband and I could give 10 stars, we would! From consultation to recovery, Dr. Derby and the entire team has made me feel like a VIP, and let me tell you they DELIVERED!!! Dr. Derby is beyond kind, professional, a true artist on what he does and somehow both hilarious and comforting, basically your new best friend for life. The surgery center is spotless, welcoming, and zero judgment about my million questions. If you’re thinking about taking the plunge (pun very much intended), this is your surgeon and team. He doesn’t just perform surgery, he gives confidence, comfort, and a little sass to boot!! So grateful! Thank you Dr. Derby for doing your magic and making me feel fabulous inside and out!!

I had a breast augmentation after losing alot of weight. My experience with Dr.Derby was superb! If I could give him 10 stars I would. I was very impressed with his professionalism and personal approach to me before, during and after surgery. He took time to get to know me and listened to my wants and desires, while being honest in his assessment and the outcomes of those desires. I was also very impressed with all of the staff at Sarasota Plastic Surgery, they are professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them and specifically Dr. Derby. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
