“My daughter in law had her nose broken, in an automobile accident, several years ago. After consulting with me about her situation, I referred her to Dr. English. Not only did he correct her septal deviation, he also corrected the somewhat bulbous tip of her nose, and even put a slight upward tilt to it. The results were amazing, and exceptionally beautiful. My wife had an augmentation of her breasts in 1985, performed by her hometown physician. In 2002, she had developed some leakage from both implants, which necessitated their removal, along with essentially all of her breast tissue beneath the skin surface. This is a technically difficult and very tedious procedure that took about four and a half hours to perform. After a little fine-tuning the size of the new implants, the results were, as you would expect from one of Dr. English's surgical procedures, simply beautiful. By the way, her hometown physician happens to be me, her husband.
In 2004, my wife decided to have Dr. English perform some cosmetic facial surgery, along with a bit of liposuction. The result is that she now looks some 15 years younger, and so very natural, as if she just stepped back in time.
The attention to detail, kindness, talent, and dedication of Dr. English is unsurpassed by anyone in his profession. Though these attributes, his desire, and his intelligent determination, he has certainly brought about his own "luck".
Dr. English's staff desires a special note of thanks, especially Janna Smiley and Dianne Orrell for their pre-op and post-op care, consideration, and kindness.”

I once read that there is no such thing as "luck" - that "luck" only comes about when opportunity meets desire and intelligent determination. Well, this would certainly apply to Dr. English. Through his years of training and dedication to his chosen profession, he has obtained his desire for perfection of his surgical procedures.”

“Dear Dr. English,
I have never asked three physicians for a referral and had them all three refer me to one physician until last year when I found myself in need of some reconstructive surgery. Three physicians, all with different specialties, from different medical centers in Little Rock, referred me to you.
Having been under your care for almost four months, it is very easy for me to understand why I was referred to you. Your thorough examination revealed a much more serious problem than was first identified; one which would not have been identified until later with potentially much more serious consequences. You spent that time necessary with me to make sure I understood the procedure you were going to perform. You answered all the questions I thought to ask before I had left your office, fully and without hesitation during the time leading up to the surgery.
Having had this procedure 25 years ago, I was dreading the same recovery period and discomfort I had experienced during that time. This time my discomfort level was almost non-existent and my recovery time was less than half from my previous experience. I attribute this directly to your skill as a surgeon and your ability to put an apprehensive patient at ease prior to and after surgery.
I also want to complement you on your staff. I have visited your office no less than 7 times. Each and every time I was met with a genuine smile from all your staff whether they worked in a direct patient care capacity or not. Your entire staff was genuinely concerned for my well being. After my surgery, a member of your staff contacted me daily for the next seven days, including that Christmas and the following weekend. I cannot tell you how impressive this was to me.
Dr. English, I have been a licensed medical professional for over 25 years. I have rarely seen, much less experienced, such a high level of patient care as I have from you and your staff at English Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center. You and your staff provide an excellent example of how patient care should be approached. I experienced a professional personal touch almost non-existent in medicine today. I will have no hesitation referring anyone to you for his or her health care nor do I have any hesitation in speaking to any patient about my experience while under your care.”

Dr. English & Staff,
I’m sure there is nothing I’m going to say that you haven’t heard before. But none the less, I feel the need. My experience with you and your wonderful staff has been a once in a lifetime deal. Your talents are amazing. Your “bedside” manner and caring is unbelievable! Your staff is out of this world. They make each patient feel special!
For all of this, I thank you!

Dr. English did such a great job on me- he is fabulous!!! My surgery was a life changing experience. I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but it has totally changed my life! For the first time in my adult life, I actually like the way I look. Never thought I’d actually get to that place, but thanks to Dr. English and all of you guys- I do!!!!
Super excited for my Mom to be able to experience the same thing. Hope to see you soon.

Dear Dr. English,
Thank you so much for the excellent work you have done. You and your entire staff have been such a blessing to me. You were always there for every question and fear. This may have been the bravest thing I have ever done and I am so proud. I’ve had one person that asked me if I had started selling makeup and she wanted to buy what I was wearing because it made me look so much younger. I have had so many compliments and I just can’t thank you enough.
The C0 2 laser has made such a difference in the texture of my skin. I feel so fortunate to have been one of the people you allowed to have had this procedure done. I still can’t believe that you did this for me.
This Thanksgiving, we were with our entire family and had family pictures made. I couldn’t believe the difference in my eyes. You could actually see them again. Robert keeps telling me that you don’t look like you’ve had anything done, but I can see your eyes. What a difference you have made in my life.
Diane and Melissa have been so patient with me when I have had to call. What a sweet voice when she answers your phone and directs you to the right person. Stefany has been the greatest. She is such an encourager and has worked with me diligently to get the right make-up and application. I could go on and on, but you surely know how wonderful each person is that works in your practice.
It just seems that “thanks” is not enough. Every morning when I get up and get my make-up on and look in the mirror, I just can’t believe what I see.
God bless you and each person that works for you. Thank you for the years of caring for others and helping them to feel better about themselves.

I routinely visit Dr. English’s office for Botox and Restylane treatments. Diane does a wonderful job making me feel comfortable. She listens to my concerns and answers any questions I may have about the procedures. The pain from her injections is minimal, but best of all, I have never been disappointed. The results are amazing and quite rewarding. I look and feel years younger.

Dear Dr. English,
I interviewed two highly-regarded Cosmetic Surgeons before I met you. I had seen your work on two of my best friends, who told me their stories and showed me their pictures.
When I entered Dr. English’s office, I was immediately impressed with the way the office works. It is a doctor’s office with little or no wait time!
When Dr. English came in, I almost instantly knew he was the cosmetic surgeon for me. He asked questions, listened to my wishes and hopes, helped me make them more precise, and mentioned a few things I hadn’t noticed, such as fat deposits I had in the corners of my eyes.
I understood everything easily. I could see that in several areas, he chose to do something minimal because they were right for me and would make me look natural.
I realized that Dr. English is foremost an artist and committed to his patients as individuals. The work he did was better than I could have possibly imagined. It was exciting to see what he could envision. I was entranced with the promise of what could be.
Dr. English’s practice itself is a well-oiled machine specifically arranged for personal contact. Everyone knows my name and calls me by it in the hallway, not from looking at a chart.
The surgery itself was easy. I was comfortable, and every effort was made to make me so, from the concern whether I was hot or cold to Dr. English’s soft and comforting voice. I knew I was in the best hands. I knew he would not hurry to finish. We prayed at the beginning which helped set me at ease.
The office staff is very approachable. I don’t know exactly how they do it, but someone is always talking to me or taking some action to make me comfortable, treating a small issue or checking to see if I am okay.
Stefany gave me the best make-over of my life and I have had many. She chose colors which I had never tried and the ingredients are amazing.
I don’t hear from friends and acquaintances “she’s had work done.” Instead, I hear, “She looks great!” A few nights ago at dinner, my husband stopped and stared. He said, “You always look great, but tonight you look as pretty as when I met you (21 years ago!).”
Other things come indirectly from looking younger, fresher and sleeker. I have more energy at work and I want to exercise more. I had been an exercise enthusiast all of my adult life but had let it go a bit. I thought I had just “lost it” and should “settle” as many women do. Even my body is renewed.
Thanks to the entire staff and Dr. English.
Yours sincerely,
Kristie
I’ve worked with Dr. English on several occasions capturing the “after” photographs of his patients. His attention to the smallest detail amazes me; he leaves nothing to chance. I recently photographed one of his patients whom I remembered from my high school years and she looked absolutely stunning. One only needs to compare the “before” shot to the “after” shot and the proof in the image speaks VOLUMES about his work and expertise.

Dr. English,
I have been a patient for about 6 years now. I have a few things that I wanted to tell you. First of all, you had your work cut out for you with my situation. I am the one who had a terrible breast augmentation from another surgeon that no one wanted to revise. You did however, and not only did you try, you were very compassionate, and understanding. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate that in you.
You did your best for me, and though I still have scarring on the left breast from the multiple procedures, I have been much happier since you did your work. I decided to take your advice regarding cosmetic tattooing to camouflage the scars. I did not want to have any further surgery. I have had two sessions in your office and I can’t express to you how happy I am. I will need a few more.
This is the first time in 15 years that I can finally see me being comfortable with my shirt off. I originally did the breast augmentation because I didn’t like the way my breast looked after childbirth. I am writing you to let you know that most people do not know about this procedure and how great it is when done correctly. I can finally see me being fixed and happy. I am so excited! I wanted to tell you how wonderful it is that you offer these services in your practice and also to have someone as caring as you are that wants to help people as much as you do. Myra is just as compassionate and understanding as you are and I want to thank you both.
Sincerely,
Ms. Stevens
First of all just call me Dr. English’s first “Butt Implant Patient.” I am leaving my name anonymous because I am giving them permission to show the before and after pictures of me to help others who are wanting this surgery but have fears and doubts about it.
I met Dr. English several years ago and he has performed other procedures on me which have been very successful. Yet, the best one of all has been the “Butt Implants.” We all have something about our bodies that we do not like and mine was my butt because I didn’t have one. It has always been flat and I have always wanted a shapely bottom and now I have one. THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL WORK OF DR. ENGLISH.
My “Butt Implants” have changed my life and given me the confidence about myself that I have always wanted and I can’t wait until this summer to put on my two-piece bathing suit and be proud of how my bottom looks.
If you have never had a procedure of any kind performed by Dr. English; have no fear for the most amazing thing about him is that he is a Christian Man and before any surgery he prays with you that God will use “HIS HANDS” to perform another miracle while he is performing your surgery. Well, God has used “HIS HANDS” many times to perform several miracles as you can see by the pictures on his walls of his office.
After you look at my pictures, I believe all your fears and doubts will go away because you are looking at a bottom “57 YEARS YOUNG.”
Let him use “HIS HANDS” to perform that miracle that you have been waiting for. You will become a new person just as I have with confidence and no longer looking at that part of your body that you have hated all your life.
God Bless each one of you and don’t have any fear. Just “TAKE THE BIG STEP” and be happy with your body.
-J.B.
Recently, I underwent fractional C02 laser skin resurfacing on my face, neck and chest. As someone who had a phenol peel several years ago, I feared the recovery would be similar. Even though I was reassured by Dr. English, read about the laser and talked to several women who had the procedure, I wondered, would it hurt? Would I swell up and be unfit for human eyes for days on end? The answer to both questions was, no. Here’s my story so others will know what to expect from the procedure as well as the results.
I was informed before my appointment that numbing cream would be used to minimize the discomfort and I could also select a couple of other options. The first option was taking a valium to help me relax. But then, someone would have to drive me home. The other option was a local anesthetic injected around the most sensitive areas; my mouth and eyes. Because I’m not a big fan of needles, I opted to use only the numbing cream, especially since I was promised the valium and/or injections if the laser was uncomfortable.
Wednesday – It took about 20 minutes for the numbing cream, cool and slightly tingly, to take effect. A couple of test spots were treated to make sure the machine was properly set to my skin. Then I experienced a series of warm sensations that felt like mild pops or stings. It was very tolerable; I’ve had photo facials that were very similar. After the procedure, aloe gel was smoothed over my skin and I left the office with a red, Shiny face and a couple of prescriptions; one to minimize swelling and another to prevent infection. By the end of the day, my skin was red and looked like I had spent a day on the beach without sunscreen. The treated areas felt very warm and were slightly swollen, particularly under my eyes. As instructed, I greased my skin with petroleum jelly to keep it moist. Before bed, I took a Tylenol to counteract the mild stinging sensation and a slight headache.
Thursday – Upon awakening, I immediately peered into the bathroom mirror to assess the damage. My facial skin was a splotchy red and brown with mild swelling that was most noticeable under my eyes. My forehead was the least discolored; my neck and chest were bright red. In the past, I’ve experienced significant swelling with just about any skin treatment so I believe the medication was an important preventive measure. The stinging and headache were gone so no Tylenol was necessary. I remained thoroughly greased and discomfort free from that time on.
Friday – This day was uneventful except for some subtle color changes and a reduction in swelling. Some areas of my facial skin began to flake off. I was still a victim of voluntary quarantine because I had taken vacation days off from work, was enjoying the solitude and felt self-conscious about my red, greasy appearance. I stopped taking the medication to prevent swelling because it was no longer needed.
Saturday – I went out to get groceries wearing a shirt that didn’t show my peeling, splotchy red and white neck and chest. The color of my face was normal except for some brown patches on my jaw and nose. My chin was still red and there were flakey areas on my face. My forehead was the most interesting area because it was stiff and rough-textured. All swelling was gone.
Sunday- Almost four days after my procedure, my face looked normal although a few flakey areas still remained. My neck and chest were pink and peeling while my forehead continued to feel stiff and a lot like fine sand paper. My bangs camouflaged that part of my face so there was no problem resuming my usual social activities.
Monday – I went back to work with a normal appearance except for some pink/white discoloration on my neck and chest and rough, flakey skin on my forehead.
Tuesday – All peeling is complete and my skin color is normal with the exception of a few small patches of pink on my neck and face. At this point, no one would notice anything different about my skin except that it looks softer and more youthful.
Results – My experience with the C02 laser resurfacing was very positive. I’ve already recommended it to several people. Discomfort is minimal and the recovery in only mildly inconvenient. I elected to stay home for a few days after my procedure, but that decision was based on my own self consciousness rather than any physical symptoms. In my opinion, my skin is smoother, more youthful and has a better texture than it did before the procedure. I like this method of skin resurfacing much better than other methods I’ve tried. The recovery is easier and faster than a chemical peel; the result are better than a photo facial. I plan to have this type of resurfacing on a regular basis to keep my skin healthy and looking good.
